Compare plans for staff administration, roster planning and tactical allocation. Shared managed hosting is included; dedicated hosting, deployment, optional support and services appear separately.
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 separate prices. Non-EUR invoicing converts at the National Bank of Romania reference rate plus 1% on the invoice date.
Example: 100 users on SkyPro.
SkyPro with annual SaaS billing, shared hosting and business-hours support:€55,704.00 in year one, including deployment;€43,704.00 per year thereafter at the same headcount and rates. EUR excluding VAT; no discounts or custom development assumed.
Choose SkyGo to build rosters, SkyPro for day-of-operations allocation, or add specific modules to cover the work you need. Compare licence, deployment and ongoing support separately in your own estimate.
The four plans
Choose a plan around the work you need to cover.
SkyLight covers staff administration, SkyGo adds roster planning, SkyPro adds tactical allocation and SkyHeavy includes the complete module set. Each plan includes the one below it. Add individual modules and compare your configuration in the calculator.
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.
SaaS hosting
Compare shared and dedicated hosting.
Shared managed hosting is included in every SaaS software rate. Choose dedicated hosting when you need infrastructure reserved to your organisation. Bespoke code maintained outside the standard supported release requires dedicated SaaS. An improvement accepted into the standard supported release can remain shared, subject to engineering confirmation.
Shared managed cloud
Included in the software licence, with your own identity realm and database. Initial deployment: €12,000.
Dedicated managed cloud
€1,500 per production environment per month, invoiced monthly with either software billing option. Initial provisioning adds €6,000, making a new dedicated deployment €18,000 in total.
The initial dedicated-hosting commitment is 12 months, starting when the environment is available for customer use at the milestone agreed in the order. An existing shared customer moving to dedicated pays the €6,000 premium, with exceptional migration work scoped separately.
Dedicated hosting includes a customer-reserved cluster, one production environment and a modest UAT environment within agreed capacity, plus monitoring, platform maintenance, daily backups, restore operations and standard release deployment. The offer specifies capacity, storage, concurrency, retention and region. Extra capacity, environments, regions, disaster recovery and specialist connectivity are quoted separately. Dedicated means no other SkyRoster customer runs in your cluster; exclusive physical Azure hosts are a separate arrangement.
Both managed options retain the 99.5% uptime SLA. Hosting operations are included independently of optional user support. Dedicated hosting and provisioning receive no volume or partnership discount, no software monthly-billing uplift, and do not increase the support basis. On-premises and RaaS have no SaaS hosting charge.
Ordinary configuration, migration, training and standard-module use do not require dedicated hosting by themselves. Bespoke code outside the standard supported release, including existing customer-specific code, requires dedicated hosting. Changes accepted into the standard release do not automatically require it; engineering confirms the release path during scoping. Customer-specific maintenance and compatibility work are scoped separately.

How a price is built
Review the formulas behind the price.
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
Add individual modules to the Core Platform in either deployment model. Each module is priced at the Core rate multiplied by its weight. The calculator automatically includes required modules and helps compare the selection with a suitable plan.

SaaS support uses the equivalent annual-billing licence after volume, partnership and any agreed licence adjustments. The monthly-billing uplift and dedicated-hosting fees do 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
Budget for deployment, training and services.
These fees and unit rates are independent of headcount and never discounted. Deployment has a fixed fee. Custom-development hours and budgets are estimates, with monthly billing for actual approved work.

Custom development covers regulatory adaptation, integrations, custom reporting, localisation and constraint modelling. Estimates follow a requirements workshop. Workshops and on-site services add travel at cost.
Agree the scope. Authorise the work.
Custom development is time and materials by default at EUR 95/hour, never discounted. Hours and budgets are indicative estimates, not a fixed-price commitment. Actual approved hours are billed monthly with itemised time records at this standard rate. We provide a revised estimate and explain the cost and timeline impact of scope changes or forecast budget overruns. Written approval is required before changed work begins or the authorised budget is exceeded. The budget authorises spending; it does not guarantee completion of an expanded scope. Unapproved additional work is paused. A separately approved fixed-price statement of work requires baselined scope, acceptance criteria, exclusions, contingency and written change control; this calculator estimates time and materials only. Future custom-code maintenance and compatibility work are scoped separately, not included in hosting or standard support.
Bespoke SaaS code outside the standard supported release requires dedicated hosting. The estimate includes only the hours entered; customer-specific maintenance and compatibility work are separately scoped. Written approval is needed before changed scope starts or the authorisation limit is exceeded.
Rostering as a Service
Commission a roster through RaaS.
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
See which discounts apply.
The graduated volume curve applies automatically. Signed partnership commitments add the discounts below, capped at 15% in total. New-offer discounts expire after 12 months and renew only after an explicit value review; a perpetual purchase has the separate commitment terms below.

Never discounted: dedicated hosting and provisioning, 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.
Common questions
Review the commercial terms.
Who counts as a user?
Enabled human accounts count: rostered staff, planners, administrators and viewers. Disabled, archived and machine-only accounts are excluded. There is no minimum headcount. The order sets the initial quantity and any planned rollout ramp. Otherwise SaaS quantity is reviewed quarterly using the rounded-up average of daily eligible account counts over the preceding three complete calendar months. Both increases and reductions apply prospectively; annual prepayments receive a prorated adjustment for the remaining period. There is no retrospective growth charge. The order records snapshot time and review dates. Perpetual capacity is reviewed annually: only additional capacity is purchased, using the next volume bands. Purchased seats do not expire and reductions generate no refund. Renewed support covers all purchased capacity. Existing signed terms remain unchanged.
Can we start with one unit?
Yes. There is no minimum headcount or licence fee. The fixed deployment fee applies, and the licence scales with eligible enabled accounts.
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 customer-managed infrastructure. Dedicated SaaS adds the hosting charges above without automatically changing the uptime SLA. On-premises is a perpetual licence you host, at three times the annual SaaS rate. Comparing JLG charges alone at 300 users, annual shared 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. Dedicated hosting changes this comparison. 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, under your perpetual licence.
Is the online estimate binding?
No. Software and hosting rates and deployment fees follow this price book for the agreed configuration and capacity. Custom-development hours and budgets are estimates: actual approved hours are billed monthly, and unscoped work is confirmed in the written offer. Partnership commitments must be signed and any agreed adjustments recorded. 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 excluded from discounts. Your written offer records all agreed terms, eligibility periods and later charges.
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.
