Pricing

Every number is on this page

You pay for routing decisions, not for a percentage of your revenue. There is no setup fee, no minimum volume, no annual commitment and no call you have to book before you can see a price.

Introductory pricing — published during early access and locked for 24 months from the day you subscribe

The meter

What exactly is a “routed decision”?

One decision is one successful route call in the live environment that returns a charger and a grant. That is the unit you are billed on, and the dashboard counts it in front of you.

  • Billed: A route call that returns a candidate and a signed grant — counted once.
  • Not billed: A re-route after a technical failure on the same order — not counted again.
  • Not billed: A route call that finds no candidate and returns no_route — not counted.
  • Not billed: Anything in the test environment — never counted, no matter how much you run.
  • Not billed: Heartbeats, capability probes, directory lookups, webhook deliveries, dashboard use, CSV exports.
  • Not billed: Transactions, refunds, disputes or settlement lines. We do not meter your money.

Things we have decided not to charge for

Every one of these is a normal line item somewhere else in this category. They are the reason orchestration bills are unpredictable, so we left them out.

No percentage of volume

Your growth is not our price increase. We never take basis points, and we never touch the funds in the first place.

No setup or implementation fee

You install a plugin and paste a key. If that needs a paid project, we have built the wrong product.

No charge for testing

The sandbox never expires and test decisions are unlimited. Run your CI against it as hard as you like.

No per-shop fee inside your plan

Shops are counted as a plan limit, not as a meter. Ten shops on Growth cost the same as two.

No support surcharge

Support is not priced as a percentage of your invoice. It is in the plan.

No exit fee

Export decisions, transactions and settlements as CSV or over the API, whenever you want, at no cost.

Why this is so much cheaper than the category

Established orchestration platforms publish entry prices between roughly $750 and $2,500 a month — when they publish anything at all — and most of that budget pays for a PCI-certified card vault, hundreds of gateway connectors and an enterprise sales motion.

We do not run a vault. Cards stay between the customer, the charging shop and that shop's own processor, which removes the most expensive component in the category from our cost base — and from your compliance scope. What is left is a routing brain, a ledger and good plugins, and those we can sell for tens of dollars instead of thousands.

Above Scale

Beyond 50,000 decisions a month, or if you need a dedicated instance, a specific hosting region, a signed DPA with your own terms, custom processors in the plugins or an SLA with penalties, write to us and we will quote it. We will still tell you the per-decision number in the first email.

Processor fees are always paid by the charging shop to its own processor. GatewayChanger never appears in that relationship and never adds a markup to it.

Billing questions

What happens when I pass the included decisions?

Nothing breaks. Extra decisions are billed at the published overage rate on your next invoice. We email you when you cross 80% and 100% of the included volume, and you can set a hard cap if you would rather have routing stop than be billed.

Does the price lock survive a plan change?

Yes. The published price of the plan you subscribed to is locked for 24 months from your first payment, including the overage rate. If we lower a price, you get the lower one automatically.

Can I move between plans?

Up or down, at any time, from the dashboard. Changes are prorated to the day and take effect immediately — the only thing a downgrade can block is a shop count above the new plan limit.

Do you bill per shop, per order or per transaction?

Per routing decision only. A shop that never routes costs nothing, an order that fails the card check costs nothing, and refunds and disputes never generate a charge from us.

Which currencies can I be billed in?

US dollars today. Your shops can charge in any currency their processors support — that is unrelated to the currency of our invoice.

What if I stop paying?

Live routing stops and the sandbox stays. Your data stays exportable for 90 days after cancellation, and we never hold an export hostage.

Start in the sandbox, decide later

No card required, no expiry, and the test processor is free forever.
