TallyFlow Pricing Recommendations (Based on Competitive Analysis)

Important Product Structure Note:

• TallyFlow Capture (aka PhotoTag), IoT, and Print can be sold as standalone products.
• TallyFlow Mobile requires TallyFlow Core.

Recommended Model: Modular pricing with a Core platform + optional standalone modules. This allows flexibility for customers who only need specific capabilities (e.g., just Capture/PhotoTag or just Print).

Proposed Pricing

TallyFlow Core (Required for Mobile)

• Starter Core: $149/month (billed annually) or $179 month-to-month

  • Up to 1,000 assets
  • Basic RFID reading + check-in/out
  • Web dashboard + basic mobile access
  • Email support

• Professional Core (Recommended): $349/month (billed annually) or $399 month-to-month

  • Up to 5,000 assets
  • Full RFID reader support (Impinj + Zebra)
  • ERP integration (keyboard wedge + basic API)
  • Zone analytics + exception alerts
  • Priority support

• Enterprise Core: Custom (starting ~$799/month or $9,000+ annual)

  • Unlimited assets / multiple locations
  • Advanced ERP integration
  • Custom workflows + dedicated support

Standalone / Add-on Modules (can be purchased independently)

TallyFlow Capture (PhotoTag)

• Current Enterprise pricing: $100/month + $4 per user/month, includes 200 GB photo storage.

• Recommendation: This pricing is reasonable but slightly low on the storage component for heavy photo users. Consider one of the following adjustments:

  Option A (Recommended revision) — $129/month base + $5 per user/month

  • Includes 300 GB photo storage
  • Additional storage: $0.50 per GB/month over 300 GB
  • Better aligns with photo storage costs while remaining competitive.

  Option B (More aggressive) — $99/month base + $4 per user/month

  • Includes 150 GB photo storage
  • Additional storage: $0.75 per GB/month
  • Keeps current user pricing but protects margin on heavy storage users.

• Lower tiers could be offered (e.g., $79 base for smaller teams with 50 GB).

TallyFlow IoT: $79–$129/month + per-device fees

TallyFlow Print: $69–$99/month (tag printing & encoding focused)

TallyFlow Mobile (requires Core): Included with Professional Core and above; available as add-on for Starter

Key Rationale

• Allows customers to buy only what they need (e.g., just Capture or just Print).
• Rewards the differentiated RFID + ERP capabilities in Core while keeping standalone modules competitively priced.
• Professional Core remains the main upsell path for full functionality.
• Avoids penalizing growth with pure per-asset pricing.
• Capture pricing now explicitly accounts for per-user and photo storage costs.

Note: These are initial recommendations only. Final pricing should be validated with current sales pipeline data and customer feedback.
