## 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.
