Pricing
Pricing for every laboratory — from one person to national multi-site.
A base subscription for the laboratory, then you pay for what you actually use. No tier boundary forces an upgrade to add one person.

What it would cost you
The instrument and site numbers are allowances, not ceilings.
Nothing on any plan refuses to take an instrument in — you are billed for what is above the allowance, in falling bands, up to a monthly ceiling of $310.00 however large the register gets. Only people are a hard limit, because adding a staff account is administrative and a refusal costs nobody a day's work.
Three numbers describe a laboratory for billing, and you already know all three.
People who sign in
3
Your own staff. A portal login for one of your customers is not a person, and there may be hundreds of those.
Instruments in the register
600
Everything you hold records for, your customers' equipment included. Counted and billed, never blocked.
Sites you work from
1
The first is always included.
Cheapest plan that carries this
Laboratory
$579.00
+ GST / month
500 are included, so 100 are charged:
Above the allowance
Exactly what is charged, and why.
$59.00 per person per month.
A portal login for your own customers is not a person — those are free, and there may be hundreds. Suspending somebody who has left frees their seat and keeps their records.
Instruments, in bands, and capped.
$0.30 each from 1 to 500, then $0.08 each to 2,500, then nothing beyond that — and never more than $310.00 a month in total, however many you hold. An instrument earns you one calibration a year, so a charge that took a real bite out of that would give you a reason to keep instruments out of the system — and the recall engine is the thing that protects your revenue. A test-and-tag business with forty thousand items pays $859.00 a month on the Laboratory plan. A business with three thousand pays $859.00 too.
$99.00 per additional location per month.
The first is always included.
Instruments and locations are counted and billed, never enforced. Nothing stops you booking work in. Pay yearly and 2 months are free.
Optional extras
Convenience, never compliance.
Nothing here is needed to run a laboratory or pass an assessment.
API access
$149.00 / month
Read and write the laboratory’s own records from its other systems.
System integration
$199.00 / month each
A connection to an ERP, asset system or SCADA, built and maintained.
Instrument driver
$29.00 / month each
A driver written for one make and model, so its readings arrive instead of being typed. Built to order — tell us what is on your bench.
Accreditation assessment pack
$4,950.00 one-off
The clause-by-clause dossier, assembled from the laboratory’s own records and reviewed before an assessment.
Guided onboarding
$2,450.00 one-off
Your register imported for you — customers, contacts, instruments and masters from your spreadsheets, every row accounted for, and the setup walked through together.
Accounting sync — Xero and MYOB
Included on every plan
Customers, invoices, credit notes and payments kept in step with the accountant’s system. Included on every plan.
Scope modules
A different measurement discipline, rather than more of the same one.
Each carries its own records, its own standard and its own assessment, and each is quoted for the laboratory taking it on.
Medical module (AS/NZS 3551)
From $249.00 / month
Device risk classification, and combined maintenance and calibration records for medical equipment.
Hazardous areas module (AS/NZS 60079)
From $249.00 / month
Ex equipment records and field calibration in classified areas.
Legal metrology module (NMI)
On application
Trade-measurement verification under its own statutory regime.
What every plan includes, whatever it costs
These are mandatory clauses of ISO/IEC 17025.
A laboratory that cannot record a complaint because of its plan stops recording complaints, which is the wrong incentive at the worst possible moment.
Document control (§8.3)
A mandatory clause. A tier without it cannot be used by an accredited laboratory.
Training and competence records (§6.2)
The one an assessor opens first. Charging for the evidence behind an authorisation is charging for the authorisation.
Nonconforming work, complaints, corrective action (§7.9, §7.10, §8.7)
These fire when something has gone wrong. A laboratory that cannot record a complaint because of its plan is a laboratory that stops recording complaints.
The audit trail and record retention (§7.5, §8.4)
Records are the laboratory's and its customers' — they outlive any subscription.
Uncertainty, traceability and the calculation engine
This is the product. A certificate computed to a lesser standard would be a different certificate.
Public certificate verification
The person scanning the QR code is not the customer and never agreed to anything.
What is never charged for
- Certificate branding — logo, colours, footerIt is the laboratory's own identity on its own document.
- Every clause of ISO/IEC 17025 this system supportsA policy that consults the plan on a compliance table is refused.
- Portal logins for the laboratory's own customersThey are the laboratory's customers, not ours, and there may be hundreds.
- Taking every record out of the systemThe records are legal records and the laboratory's own. Never withheld — not by plan, and not by a lapsed subscription.
Two limits that are counted and never enforced
Instruments and locations are billed, not blocked. A laboratory that cannot book an instrument in because a counter rolled over has a customer standing at the counter, and that is a worse outcome than an invoice discussion. Seats are the exception and are hard: creating a staff account is an administrative act, and the refusal names what is not affected.
If you stop paying
Your records stay yours and stay readable, and you can export all of them at any time. What stops is new work — no bookings, no readings, no certificates, no outbound messages. Certificate verification by QR code never stops at all. A failed payment restricts nothing for 30 days; the commonest cause is a card that expired.
Subscription agreement, privacy policy and data processing agreement
Start free. Thirty days, everything included.
No card. Nothing is deleted when a trial ends — the records are yours and stay readable.
