$74,000 total. Yours forever. No renewals, ever.
This is for the company that doesn't want to rent software. You pay once, you own the license permanently. We brand the entire platform with your identity so it looks and feels like your own product. Bug fixes and security patches are handled by us, at no cost, for the life of the software.
Cost breakdown
| Lifetime software license | $49,000 |
| On site onboarding (travel, setup, training) | $25,000 |
| Total due | $74,000 |
This is a one time payment. There are no annual renewals, maintenance fees, or surprise charges after this.
What makes this different from Self Hosted
The Lifetime license includes everything in the Self Hosted plan, plus:
Onboarding ($25,000)
Same comprehensive on site setup as the Self Hosted plan. Includes:
Travel to your location (continental US), server provisioning, domain and SSL configuration, database setup, data migration from Pilot or spreadsheets, team training (admin and estimator tracks), integration setup (email, QuickBooks, Finix payments), and 30 days of priority post launch support.
Additionally for Lifetime, the onboarding includes the custom branding work: we replace all LandscapeBid branding with your company identity before deployment. Logo, colors, PDF templates, login page, and email templates are all customized.
Payment
Full payment: $74,000 due before the on site visit is scheduled. Wire transfer, ACH, or company check.
Payment plan available: 50% ($37,000) due upfront. Remaining 50% due within 90 days of go live. No interest, no fees.
After payment: No more invoices. No annual renewals. No maintenance fees. The only future cost is custom development work if you choose to request it.
Custom development
Lifetime license holders can request custom work at $175/hour with a 25 hour minimum.
This is for features specific to your business that aren't part of the standard platform. Custom reports, unique workflows, third party integrations, mobile companion apps. We scope it, estimate it, and get your sign off before any billable work begins.
What you own
The license: A perpetual, non transferable, non sublicensable right to run one production instance of LandscapeBid on your infrastructure.
Your data: 100% yours. We never access it without your explicit permission. If you ever want a full database export, we provide it within 5 business days at no charge.
The branding: Your custom branded version is yours to run. The custom branding assets (logo placement, color scheme, PDF templates) stay in your deployment.
What you don't own: The source code. The license grants usage rights, not intellectual property ownership. You cannot resell, redistribute, or sublicense the software.
What you need on your end
A server. Same as Self Hosted. Physical server at your office, a cloud VM, or a dedicated hosting provider. Minimum: 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage. We help you choose and set it up during the onboarding visit.
A domain name. Use a subdomain of your existing domain (bids.yourcompany.com) or register a new one. We handle all DNS and SSL configuration.
Your branding assets. Your company logo (PNG or SVG), your brand colors (hex codes), and any tagline or legal text you want on proposals. We apply these to the entire platform during setup so it looks like your own product.
Your pricebook and customer list. Bring your existing data. Spreadsheets, CSVs, even a messy folder of old quotes. We help you clean it up and import it during the on site visit.
$74,000 sounds like a lot. Here's why it's not.
Save up to 90% over 5 years vs hiring in house
$74,000 one time vs $750,000+ for a developer over 5 years
Cost Over Time: Developer vs LandscapeBid Lifetime
Year 1 cost
$74,000
one time, done
Per year over 5 yrs

Per year over 10 yrs

the longer you run it
Unlike hiring a developer, you're not starting from zero. Your team is sending bids through it within a week of setup, not a year from now.
This is a big decision. Let's talk it through.
No pressure. Call us and we'll answer every question you have.
