Aurgus
Platform fee structure

Pricing keyed to annual rebate volume managed.

Five tiers, sized to your channel-finance operational scale. Sales-led; the specific number for your engagement is established at discovery — not on this page, not on a form. Below: the structure, what's universal, and what we deliberately don't do.

Volume ranges are illustrative; specific tier boundary established at discovery. All tiers include the full product surface. Tier differentiation is engagement scope, not feature gating.
Included in every tier

The product is the same across all five.

Tier differentiation is commercial — onboarding, integration breadth, support SLA, regions. The architectural foundation is universal.

Event-sourced calculation engine

Every accrual, adjustment, reversal as an immutable event. Corrections by supersession; reproducibility by design.

Native calculation lineage

Five anchors per calc event — bucket, rule, condition record, source row, snapshot. Queryable in seconds.

Aurgus Intelligence agent

Plain-English Q&A grounded in the rebate-domain corpus + your tenant's data. Source-cited responses.

Six product surfaces

Cockpit, Compose, Approve, Reports, Data, Intelligence. One calculation core feeding all six.

Audit-trail CSV export

Every calc event exportable. Full lineage to source POS row. Reproduce the number anywhere.

Customer data is never monetized

Revenue is platform fee only. No data resale, no model training on your data, no downstream products.

What pricing models we won't use

Six pricing patterns we deliberately don't use.

These are the patterns that produced the platform-license-pricing pain our customers are trying to leave. Aurgus rejects them by design.

  • ✕

    Per-seat. Charging per user creates friction against giving the platform to the people who need it.

  • ✕

    FUE (Full User Equivalent). Opaque and structurally rewards vendor consultants who interpret the metric.

  • ✕

    Per-agreement. Punishes program-design experimentation. Operators should be free to launch and retire programs without contract anxiety.

  • ✕

    Per-module. Forces buyers to predict which surfaces they'll use a year in advance. The product is one platform; pricing reflects that.

  • ✕

    Perpetual licenses. The legacy era of vendor lock-in. Aurgus is annual contract; renewal is value-driven.

  • ✕

    Per-row / usage-metered. Penalizes scale, the opposite of what you want from a calculation infrastructure layer.

The cost of doing nothing

The platform license is the smallest line.

Five cost surfaces add up to substantially more than any platform fee. Below: the magnitudes Aurgus engagement is sized against.

$1.5M–$15M
Direct margin leakage
Calculation errors, missed claw-backs, tier-timing. 1–3% of rebate spend.
$8M–$30M
Working capital trapped
Accrual estimates that don't match settlement reality. Stuck on balance sheet.
$80K–$250K
Audit cost premium
15–40% more to vouch accruals without replayable lineage.
$50M–$500M
Restatement risk
Tail when accrual errors become material. Plus stock drop, CFO departure 60% of cases.
0.5–2%
Opportunity cost
Of channel revenue. 6–14 week new-program-launch cycles vs days.
Conservative aggregate measurable damage: $2M–$20M annually, plus continuous tail risk. Aurgus's engagement is sized against this — not headcount, not transactions.
Common questions

Pricing-shaped questions, answered.

How does Aurgus actually price?
Platform fee keyed to annual rebate volume managed. Five-tier structure. No per-seat, FUE, per-agreement, per-module, perpetual, or per-row pricing. Specific number established at discovery — sized against cost-of-doing-nothing.
Why isn't there a public starting price?
The methodology is open; the specific number isn't. The same program at $50M vs $500M annual volume is a different engagement; one published number would over-charge the smaller and under-deliver to the larger.
Is there a free trial?
Not in the traditional sense. You can try the product at build.aurgus.com using sample data or your own POS CSV. Enterprise engagement begins with a discovery conversation.
What's included at every tier?
Every tier includes the full product surface — calc engine, Intelligence agent, audit infrastructure, all six product surfaces. Tier differentiation is commercial scope: onboarding, ERP breadth, region count, support SLA, founder engagement.
What if my volume crosses a tier boundary mid-contract?
Tier boundaries are sized at engagement. Mid-contract growth doesn't trigger automatic tier change — that's the kind of usage-metered surprise we deliberately don't do. Renewal re-establishes the tier.
Do you offer design-partner pricing?
Yes. We're currently engaging the design-partner cohort — Tier 5 with reference rights, co-roadmap input, and parallel-run guarantee. Speak with an Expert to learn whether the cohort is still open.
How does the contract structure work?
Annual contract structured around engagement scope. Onboarding, parallel-run, cutover, ongoing operational support all in scope. We don't sell services attached to the platform fee — implementation is part of the engagement.
Is my data ever monetized?
No. Aurgus's revenue is the platform fee. We never train models on customer data, never resell anonymized aggregates, never build benchmarking products downstream. Trust is structural.
