How pricing works
Simple, per user,
month to month.
Pay for your team
Each person in your company with their own login is one user at £35 a month. A team of five is £175 a month.
Suppliers are free
Suppliers receive requests, send prices and manage orders and deliveries in the portal without paying anything.
No lock-in
Billing is monthly and managed by you in the app. Cancel at any time; access runs to the end of the month already paid for.
Try it first
Seven days of the full platform with your own BOQ and suppliers, and no bank card needed to start.
Longer terms
Prefer a 12 or 24 month contract, or have a larger team? Request a quote and we will come back to you.
Help to get started
Ask in your quote for help importing existing BOQs, price lists and suppliers, or for training your team.
Worth it?
Weigh it against one leak.
The UK's top 100 contractors average a 2.4% pre-tax margin, so one wrong price or one unchecked order can cost more than a year of I-Cost for the whole team. Work out what protecting even 1% of your turnover would be worth.
TRY THE CALCULATOR
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You get 7 days of the full platform, and you do not need a bank card to start.
Who counts as a user?
Each person in your company with their own login is one user. Suppliers using the supplier portal are free.
Are the beta features included?
Yes. Every feature is in every plan, including BIM model import and whole life carbon assessments, which are in beta.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Billing is managed in the app through Stripe, where you can change your card, download invoices or cancel. A cancelled subscription stops at the end of the month already paid for, with no further charges.
Do you offer longer contracts or help getting set up?
Yes. For 12 or 24 month terms, larger teams, help importing your existing BOQs, price lists and suppliers, or training for your team, request a quote and we will come back to you.
Are there any extras?
One, and only if you want it: the live Xero connection, £10 a month for your whole company. If you pay by card it is added to your subscription when we switch it on. Everything else, betas included, is in the per-user price.
Is support included?
Yes. Every plan includes the guided tutorial, Costa the in-app help assistant, and the Help Desk to reach the I-Cost team.
Is I-Cost suitable for small construction businesses?
Yes. You pay £35 per user per month with no set-up fee, so a team of two costs £70 a month, and you can start with a 7-day free trial on one live project. Suppliers use the portal free.
