OPTION 1 · ONE WORKSTATION
$110
a month for 24 months
The lowest monthly bill of the three: $110 a month for 24 months — $2,640 in all (24 × $110), twenty percent over the outright price. Lower than a typical monthly SaaS stack today—and after 24 payments, your monthly bill drops to $0 forever.
OPTION 2 · ONE WORKSTATION
$200
a month for 12 months
Pay off your software within a single year: $200 a month for 12 months — $2,400 in all (12 × $200), nine percent over the outright price and $240 less than the 24-month plan. When the last payment clears, the license is permanent.
BEST VALUE · ONE WORKSTATION
$2,200
one payment, and there is no second one
Single capital purchase. Immediate permanent license with zero monthly payments ever — $2,200 once, saving $440 versus the 24-month plan and $200 versus the 12-month plan.

Including the row that matters most: what you still have on the last day.
| 24-Month Plan | 12-Month Plan | Outright | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $110 a month × 24 | $200 a month × 12 | $2,200 once |

| Over the outright price | Twenty percent | Nine percent | None |
| Charges after the last one | None, ever | None, ever | None, ever |
| What you have when payments end | FoundrySuite, licensed | FoundrySuite, licensed | FoundrySuite, licensed |

Every plan is the same software. There are no feature-crippled tiers and no upgrade path to buy your way into.
Most subscriptions hold your data on their side of a network connection and call that a product. The only leverage that gives them is the one you never want to use. So this is written down instead:
There is a thirty-day free trial of the whole product. Use it against your own data and decide afterwards — see how to install it.
Tell us. That is a conversation with a person, not an automated switch. What happens in practice is that we email you, and we would rather sort it out than have a business unable to reach its own books because of a card expiry.
We are not describing a punitive failure policy here, because we do not have one, and writing a reassuring-sounding one would be a lie. Ask us and get the real answer.
We take a little more in total on the payment plans. The percentage is on the page, in words, next to the number.
It is not a discount dressed up as a model. It is a consequence of where the software lives.
Send us one line and we will reissue the license for the new computer, free, for as long as you own it. A license is tied to one workstation so a single purchase cannot be copied around a company, but nothing about it is a dongle: it is a file, not a piece of hardware, and replacing a dead machine is an email rather than a support call.
Your office manager, a visiting bookkeeper, and the owner can all work on the same licensed machine without per-user fees. The application has no seat counting in it — the license is between you and us; the software does not police it. Guest access, family use, a second machine for the same person — these are licensing questions for us, not obstacles in the product.
A cloud CRM is rented per user because every user's activity costs the vendor something: compute, storage, bandwidth, support. Charging by seat is how that cost is recovered, and it is why a business adding a fifth person is quoted a number that arrives with a frown.
FoundrySuite runs on a computer you already own. Nobody else’s running costs go up when you use it, so there is nothing for us to recover from you. Adding a colleague means another license and nothing else — no hosting bill, no charge per person per month to pass along, no conversation about which features unlock above a headcount you have not reached yet.
And the reason this list exists: most software pricing pages describe what you get, and skip the thing you would most like to know.
| You are not paying for | Because |
|---|---|
| Hosting your data | It is on your disk. We have no servers holding it and no bill for storing it. |
| AI tokens | Inference runs on your machine. There is no metered credit system, because there is no meter on our side to read. |
| Email sending | FoundrySuite has no send button. Sending is yours, through your own mail, with your own deliverability to protect. |
| A feature unlock | There is no free tier and no upgrade path between plans. Every plan runs the same program — you buy the licenses, not access to a part of it. |
| Your data as leverage | The database is a file on your disk. Leaving costs you a folder, not an export negotiation. |
| Updates you never asked for | New versions sit available. Your copy changes when you change it. |
The three rows a buyer actually argues about. The wider case against a hosted vendor is on why it runs on your machine, and it is not repeated here.
| Typical cloud CRM | FoundrySuite | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost direction | Rises with every user, every year | Falls to zero after the last payment |
| What happens if you stop paying | Access ends; export becomes a fight | Nothing. The data is a file you can read |
| AI features | Often a paid add-on, metered or tiered | Included, running on your own hardware |
| Price transparency | Tiered, and the fine print is tiered too | Three numbers, no fine print |
The right-hand column describes what we built. If a vendor offers you something equivalent, buy theirs — but ask them the question in the left column first and see whether the answer is a page or a person.
No — a monthly plan is not a subscription, and this is the question we most want to be unambiguous about. The monthly plans are payment schedules for the same permanent license. When the final payment clears, the license is yours and there is nothing further to pay, ever. There is no code in FoundrySuite that checks whether you have paid this month, because a local application cannot phone home and we did not build it to try.
The installer, on a page only you can reach, and a license file emailed to the address you paid with — one per workstation you register. Paying is not quite the last step: every license is bound to the machine it may run on, and the fulfillment page the receipt links to walks you through that in two minutes — run leadflow license fingerprint on the machine, paste the output, and the signed file is emailed to you and downloads from the same page. What you install is the same program you evaluated, with nothing switched on or off — the only difference is that the paid build reads that license instead of ignoring it. The check is entirely local: it reads one file, verifies a signature against a key built into the program, and never contacts anyone. That is also why it keeps working with the network unplugged. If you want to know what you are installing before you decide, the install page covers it.
Because a payment schedule carries risk that a single charge does not. The 12-month plan is nine percent over the outright price and the 24-month plan is twenty percent, and both numbers are written on this page next to the monthly figure rather than left for you to add up.
The fulfillment page your receipt links to issues a license for each machine you register, so moving is two minutes and no conversation — the fingerprint command tells the page which machine is asking, and the file follows the same afternoon. A license is tied to one workstation so a single purchase cannot be copied around a company, but nothing about it is a dongle: it is a file, not a piece of hardware. If the page cannot do it — a machine with no stable identifier, or a move you would rather not explain to a form — one email to us reissues it free, for as long as you own it.
Buy another license for the extra machine — the application does not count seats, so the conversation is a commercial one rather than a technical block. And a business that has outgrown one machine is one we would rather talk to than meter.
Ask us. The application does not count seats, so the conversation is a commercial one rather than a technical block — and we would rather do that honestly than have you discover a limit later.
The support page says what we answer, by whom, and what we have not decided. We would rather say that than sell you a support tier you may never use.
That is what the thirty-day trial is for. It needs no card and no payment step, which is why we encourage putting your own data into it before you pay for anything. A refund for a purchase you regret is not something we have decided; the support page says so rather than inventing a policy.
