Start with the work your team needs to do, then compare the plans and individual modules. Software licence prices derive from the €4.13 Core Platform rate: modules use value weights, plans bundle their modules at 40% off, and billing follows the rules below. Deployment, support and services appear separately, so you can assess both the initial cost and the ongoing commitment.
Price book edition of 15 September 2026, amended 16 September 2026 (amendment 003). All prices in EUR, excluding VAT and applicable taxes. Software rates, support and RaaS use the formulas below; minimums, deployment, professional services and training have their own stated prices. Non-EUR invoicing converts at the National Bank of Romania reference rate plus 1% on the invoice date.
The four plans
Start with the work your team needs
List your required capabilities before comparing bundle savings. SkyLight runs the people layer. SkyGo builds the month. SkyPro runs the day. SkyHeavy runs the whole organisation. Each plan includes the one below it, and you can add modules with their required dependencies. The offer builder helps you compare configurations that cover your selection.
A year billed monthly costs exactly twelve times the monthly rate, which is 1.2× the annual-billing monthly rate: annual billing costs ten months of the monthly-billing rate before final invoice rounding. Support is not included in any plan and is not required by any deployment model; it is an optional contract, priced below. No plan carries a minimum number of users.
How a price is built
How the software rates are derived
The Core Platform rate, module weights, bundle discount and billing factors determine the software licence rates. Support and RaaS use those rates with their own minimums. Deployment, training and professional services are priced separately.
The set number
The Core Platform rate
The base monetary rate for software licences, per user per month, SaaS, billed annually.
core = €4.13
Rule 1
Modules are multiples of the Core rate
Each of the 13 modules carries a weight for its value relative to the platform core. Strategic Rostering, which carries the optimiser, is 3.00×. The Mobile App is 0.75×.
module = core × weight
Rule 2
A plan is its modules at 40% off
Add up the à-la-carte prices of the modules a plan contains, take 40% off, round to the nearest 5 cents. The same bundle discount applies to all four plans.
plan = Σ modules × 0.60
Rule 3
Two billing rules
Monthly billing is the annual rate × 1.2, so annual billing costs exactly ten months. The perpetual on-premises licence is exactly three times the annual SaaS licence, for plans and modules alike.
monthly = plan × 1.2 · perpetual = plan × 36

Module list rates round to the cent; plan and RaaS rates round to the nearest five cents. Monetary rounding uses the half-up rule. Calculations then keep full precision through volume, discounts, billing and support. Only final invoice lines round to cents. Displayed effective unit rates are illustrative; annual cash totals add the actual rounded invoices.
Modules
13 modules, à la carte
Any module can be licensed on its own on top of the Core Platform, in either deployment model, at the Core rate times its weight. A customer who wants one thing buys that thing instead of jumping a plan. Dependencies are functional, not commercial: a configuration that breaks one ships a product that does not work, so the offer builder adds what a module needs when you tick it.
Module rate card. SaaS is per user per month, billed annually; on-premises is per user, one-off.

Volume
One graduated curve, on the marginal user
Each band prices only the users inside it, so the total is always monotonic: one more user always costs more, never less, and there is no headcount at which it pays to invent a user. The curve applies to the SaaS licence, the on-premises licence and à-la-carte modules alike. Support follows the licence it is attached to. The curve is the volume discount; there is no separate percentage band.

Worked out for SkyPro at 400 users, SaaS billed annually: the first 250 users pay list, the next 150 pay 90% of it, and the year comes to €140,217, an effective €29.21 per user per month against a list of €30.35. The offer builder shows the curve as its own line, so the discount is visible without the band table.
An effective licence rate below €5.00 per billable user per month, expressed on an annual-billing basis, requires Florin Mijea's approval. The check uses the whole configuration after volume, partnership and any licence concession. It divides monthly-billed SaaS by 1.2, and a perpetual licence by 36months, before comparing the unrounded per-user rate. Support and fixed fees are excluded. A flagged result is shown at its calculated price and requires approval. For perpetual additions, the check uses the aggregate net licence value already purchased plus the addition, divided by 36 and the resulting purchased capacity.

Support
Optional, on every plan and in both models
Support is optional on every plan and in both deployment models. Its percentage follows the applicable licence basis below. The 24/7 minimum applies after partnership discounts, so smaller deployments can pay the same minimum regardless of plan.

Price
What it is
Business hours
20% of the applicable basis per year
Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 EET, by e-mail and Microsoft Teams, with response times in the contract. On-premises it also carries patches, updates and upgrade rights.
24/7
35% of the applicable basis per year minimum €18,000 a year
Round the clock, with a named contact and priority escalation. Everything in business hours, and then the rest of the clock. The minimum is a cost floor: a round-the-clock rota cannot be staffed below it. A unit for which it does not pencil out takes business hours, which is the point of making it a choice.

SaaS support uses the equivalent annual-billing licence after volume, partnership and documented licence concessions. The monthly-billing uplift does not increase support. Support is invoiced monthly, with each invoice rounded to cents.
On-premises support is invoiced annually. Its basis is the purchased perpetual licence value after volume but before the purchase partnership discount, plus any later licence additions on the same basis. The partnership discount qualifying for the support year applies once, at initial purchase and each renewal, followed by the 24/7 minimum. Support supplies patches, updates and upgrade rights; without renewal you retain the perpetual version rights you already hold.
Deployment, training and services
Fixed fees, published, never discounted
These fees and unit rates are independent of headcount. The volume curve and partnership discounts do not change them. The offer states the deployment and any additional training or service quantities required.
Deployment fee · one per deployment
SaaS

On-premises

Training
Online, per week
€3,500
On-site, per instructor-day

A week online is five days with one instructor. On-site training includes the instructor's travel and expenses: the day rate is the whole price.

Custom development covers regulatory adaptation, integrations, custom reporting, localisation and constraint modelling. It is scoped after a requirements workshop, and a fixed-price cap at hours × rate is fine. Workshops and on-site services add travel at cost.
Rostering as a Service
No licence. We build and deliver the roster.
JLG builds and delivers optimised rosters from your input data. You send us the demand, the people and the rules; you get back a published roster, a monthly optimisation report and the scenario work in between. No software licence, no deployment fee.
€40.95
per rostered employee per month
Minimum €4,095 a month, which binds at exactly 100 employees. Billed monthly in arrears.
Where the number comes from. The SkyPro plan × 1.35, rounded to 5 cents: the software that does the job, plus 35% for the JLG staff who do it. RaaS sits above the SkyPro licence at every scale, because it includes our labour and the licence does not.
What a rostered employee-month is. Any employee appearing on at least one published roster that month. Not accounts, not headcount on the payroll: people who were rostered.
What it includes. Staffing simulations, scenario modelling, KPI optimisation, a monthly optimisation report and rostering best-practice advice. The volume curve is a licence curve, so the RaaS rate is flat at every headcount above the minimum.
Discounts
Volume discounts, partnership and agreed concessions
The graduated volume curve applies automatically. Signed partnership commitments add the discounts below, capped at 15% in total. Recurring charges follow the stated eligibility periods; a perpetual purchase has the separate commitment terms below.

On licence and support, never on fees
Partnership percentages add, capped at 15%, and apply once after the volume curve. The 24/7 support minimum still applies after discounts.
Never discounted: custom development, deployment fees, training, on-site services.
A perpetual purchase needs defined deliverables and dates: case-study and reference commitments last at least 12 months; a conference commitment names an event within 12 months. The offer records publication deadlines and the consequence of an unfulfilled commitment. Once fulfilled, later expiry does not change the purchase price or perpetual rights. Support eligibility is reviewed separately each year.
An annual-billing-equivalent licence below €5.00 per user per month requires Florin Mijea's approval and a recorded amendment. The calculator flags this threshold without changing the price.
Concessions recorded in your offer
A discussion may agree to exclude specified non-rostered or read-only accounts, waive business-hours support for the first 12 months, or include one additional module for that period. Each concession must state its scope, start, expiry or review date and subsequent charges. These are negotiated terms; the calculator starts from the standard rates.
A SaaS module returns to its stated subscription price after 12 months. An on-premises module concession is a temporary entitlement: at expiry you buy the perpetual module or its entitlement ends. Required dependencies must remain licensed and the remaining configuration must work. Free first-year on-premises support supplies update rights for that year; continuing support requires renewal. Other deviations require an approved amendment. Customer references are released only after an NDA is signed.
Straight answers
What people ask before they build an offer
Who counts as a user?
Any user account on the tenant. Rostered or not, every account is licensed by default, including read-only viewers, HR administrators and IT. There is no minimum number of users. Your initial order sets the quantity. At each contract anniversary, the next quantity is the average daily count over the preceding three complete calendar months, rounded up to a whole user. The order specifies a consistent daily snapshot time. SaaS increases and reductions apply prospectively for the following year, with no retrospective or immediate interim growth invoice, whether billing is annual or monthly. On-premises, you buy only capacity above the seats already purchased, in the next volume bands, without prorating the perpetual fee. Purchased capacity remains yours; reductions produce no refund, and renewed support covers the full purchased capacity.
Can we start with one unit?
Yes. There is no minimum headcount and no minimum licence fee, so a single tower on SkyLight or SkyGo is a real configuration, not a trial. The deployment fee covers the fixed cost of an installation; the licence scales with the accounts you actually have.
Hosted or on-premises?
Both, at the rates above. Standard SaaS is hosted by JLG on Microsoft Azure in the EU, with automatic updates, daily backups and a 99.5% uptime SLA included in the licence.Deployment details explain how these commitments differ from dedicated arrangements and customer-managed infrastructure. On-premises is a perpetual licence you host, at three times the annual SaaS rate. Comparing JLG charges alone at 300 users, annual SaaS billing and business-hours support in both models, on-premises breaks even after approximately 5.2–5.8years across the four plans. This includes the deployment-fee difference and assumes unchanged prices and headcount, with no partnership discounts. Your infrastructure, administration, financing and other operating costs are additional. Smaller deployments take longer; there is no universal 300-user threshold.
Is support included?
No, and no deployment requires it. Business hours is 20% of the licence, 24/7 is 35% with a minimum of €18,000 a year. On-premises, the support contract is what carries patches, updates and upgrade rights; without one you stay on the version you deployed, for as long as you like.
Is the offer I build here binding?
No. It is indicative and non-binding, and it says so on its face. It uses exactly the rules on this page, so the binding offer will match it unless something about your configuration or documented terms change in the conversation. Partnership commitments must be signed, negotiated concessions must be recorded, and a below-backstop price requires approval. A binding offer is issued in writing by J.L.G. Consulting S.R.L. and states its own validity, normally 60 days; a budgetary estimate for a tender is normally 90 and is marked non-binding.
Do you discount?
The volume curve is the discount, and it is applied automatically. The three partnership commitments above stack on it, capped at 15%, on signature. Custom development, deployment fees, training and on-site services are never discounted, for anyone. The documented concessions above are also permitted. Other deviations, including a below-backstop licence, require Florin Mijea's approval and an amendment number.
Which entity contracts, and in which currency?
J.L.G. Consulting S.R.L., Romania, exactly as registered; SkyRoster by JLG Consulting is a brand. Prices are in EUR, excluding VAT and applicable taxes. Non-EUR invoicing converts at the National Bank of Romania reference rate plus 1% on the invoice date.
Build the offer yourself, then bring it to us.
Five minutes with the offer builder gives you a number with its arithmetic attached. A working session turns it into a binding offer: which accounts count, which plan fits the unit, what the deployment looks like on your infrastructure.
