Pricing

A scan station costs from €750 a year.

For €750 you get DataSnap Standard on one PC next to the scanner, with updates and support. What that PC processes is unlimited: you pay nothing per document or per page. If you also want fields read, you choose Extended. For a department, a municipality or a hospital there are packages that add the portal, the phone app and a volume for the cloud. All prices are per year and excl. VAT.

As you grow

You never pay more than the next package

If you add stations or phone users, we charge them as extras. Once the next package works out cheaper, you move up to it automatically.

The package price is the same if you buy through your document or IT partner.

Usage

What runs on your premises is unlimited.

Nothing the desktop or the Windows service processes on your own PC or server is ever counted. No price per document or per page, however much you scan. A volume only applies to what runs on our servers.

On our servers

A generous volume in every package

Two things count: documents we process in the cloud (text recognition, a workflow or AI on our key) and what is kept in the archive. Each package includes a yearly volume for both. Phone submissions and review in the portal are part of the package, within a generous limit.

Need more

You buy an extra block in advance

  • 10,000 documents in the cloud: €150
  • 100 GB in the archive: €180 per year

That way you know up front what you will pay, and it fits on a purchase order. At 80% and at 100% you get a notice in the portal. Processing does not stop: we look at it together and settle once a year.

Add-ons

Add the portal, phone app and archive when you need them.

With a single scan station. The packages already include the portal, the phone app and a volume for the cloud and the archive.

Review in the browser, users, two-step sign-in and your branding. With 10 users.

€948 per year

Phone app

For Android and iOS. Minimum 5 users.

€84 per user per year

Archive

€180 per 100 GB per year

Cloud processing and AI

€150 per 10,000 documents

Frequently asked questions

About prices and licenses.

Why no price per page?

Recognition and AI run on your own PC or server. An extra page costs us nothing, so we do not charge for it, however much you scan. Only what runs on our servers counts towards the volume in your package.

What counts as a document in the cloud?

Every document we process on our servers: text recognition, a workflow or AI in the cloud. A document of 1 to 20 pages counts as one. A longer document counts once for every 20 pages or part of 20, so 45 pages count as three. What the desktop or the service processes on your premises does not count. If you use AI with your own key, we charge no AI costs. The document does count towards your volume.

What happens if we exceed our volume?

At 80% and at 100% you get a notice in the portal. Processing carries on as normal. We get in touch and settle once a year: you order an extra block, or next year you take the package that fits.

What does installation cost?

A one-day remote start-up costs €950. In that day we install DataSnap, set up your first workflow and train your people to use it. For a larger project with three days of support we charge €2,850, and €850 for each day after that. Excl. VAT.

What is included in the annual price?

The license, all updates and support by e-mail. With Extended, phone support as well.

Can I switch edition later?

Yes. The license comes from the portal. After an upgrade the new features are on straight away, without reinstalling.

Is there a perpetual license?

No. We work with annual licenses. With a three-year contract your price stays the same for all three years.

What happens to my documents if we stop?

They are already in PDF/A and XML in your own folders or archive. You export your settings and workflows with the built-in backup.

Do I pay more if I buy through my partner?

No. Partners use the same prices, packages included.
