Pricing

Buy the products you need.Priced by your size.

No bundle you mostly will not use. No vendor call to find out the price. Each product stands on its own, scales with your organization, and the suite is capped below the sum. Every product sits under the $25,000 RFP threshold by design.

Pay for what you run. Add the rest when you need it.

Each product is priced on its own and scales with your size. Start with FOIA, expand into the full suite, and never pay more than the suite cap. Already host documents or run meetings elsewhere? Buy only what you are missing.

Frequently asked

Pricing questions, answered.

How does a la carte pricing work?+

You buy the products you need, not a bundle you mostly will not use. Each product is priced on its own and scales with the size of your organization. Start with one, like FOIA, and add Open Meetings, Records, the Public Document Portal, or Reports whenever you are ready. If you want everything, the suite is capped below the sum of the individual products.

What are the products?+

Six: FOIA (public-records requests with automated drafting and redaction), Open Meetings (agendas, notices, minutes, and searchable video recordings with auto-chapters), Records and Retention (schedules and disposition tracking), the Public Document Portal (a searchable public document library), Reports and Analytics (compliance analytics and the annual FOIA summary), and Payments (online FOIA-fee collection). The internal document vault, user accounts, and workflow are always included and never sold separately.

How is my tier set?+

Tier is determined by org type and population, not by self-selection. Townships and villages under 5,000 are Starter. Charter townships, townships and cities between 5,000 and 25,000, K-12 districts under 5,000 students, and multi-jurisdiction authorities are Standard. Counties, cities over 25,000, road commissions, and large districts are Enterprise. The plan builder above gives you your tier and price in under a minute.

Do I have to buy everything?+

No, and that is the point. If you already host documents on another site or run meetings through a different vendor, buy only the products you are missing. Most customers start with FOIA and expand from there. You are never forced into a product that duplicates something you already pay for.

How much is the full suite?+

All five priced products are capped below the sum of buying them individually. At the Starter tier the suite is $499/mo; at Standard it is $1,499/mo. Enterprise suites are quoted to the organization. Payments is free in every case.

Why is Payments free?+

Payments is a $0-to-government enablement product. When a resident pays a FOIA fee online, the funds settle straight to your bank account and the resident covers the processor fee. Dekree never holds public funds and never charges your office a platform fee for collecting them.

What about counties, large cities, and other Enterprise orgs?+

Enterprise pricing is org-specific because the statutory burden and number of public bodies vary widely. FOIA starts at $999/mo; we scope the rest of the plan with you. Email contact@dekree.ai or book a demo and we will put a number in front of you quickly.

Is everything billed annually?+

Yes. Every product is billed annually, and the monthly price shown is the annualized equivalent so you can line it up against a budget. You pay one invoice per year per organization, regardless of how many products you run.

Do I need board approval to sign up?+

Every product and the full suite sit under the $25,000 formal-RFP threshold by design. Most local governments still bring software contracts to their board for transparency, and we will send you a one-page summary you can forward to your supervisor or board on request.

How is this different from CivicPlus, NextRequest, Granicus, or Tyler?+

Those vendors also sell modules, but the price is quote-only and a single module often runs $10,000 or more per year in public contract records. Dekree posts every product price publicly, scales it to your size, caps the suite below the sum, and runs everything on one Compliance Graph. You can see exactly what you would pay before you ever talk to us, and we publish sourced side-by-side comparisons at dekree.ai/compare.

What does FOIA software usually cost?+

Most vendors quote deal by deal, so budget from public procurement records: documented small-government contracts for dedicated FOIA tools run roughly $2,000–$13,000 per year plus implementation fees, and enterprise platforms run $29,000–$83,000+ per year for state-agency configurations. Dekree FOIA is published at $199/mo (under 5,000 residents) and $599/mo (5,000–25,000), with redaction included.

Are there implementation or setup fees?+

No. Onboarding (including importing your existing FOIA log, meeting calendar, and document archive) is included in the published price. Competing products document one-time implementation fees from about $2,250 to $21,800 in public contracts.

Do you charge per user or per seat?+

No. Every plan includes unlimited users, and features like redaction are included rather than licensed per named user. Add your deputy clerk, treasurer, attorney, or board members at no additional cost.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Cancel any product at any point and your access continues through the end of the prepaid year. We will export everything we hold for you on request, in a portable format, with no clawback.
