The team rate card
Every seat is a named user licence. Buy more seats or commit for longer and the rate falls, and the two discounts combine. The team and site licences are built from this card, not sold against it.
| Term | 2-5 users | 6-10 users | 11-20 users |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $1,600 | $1,440 | $1,280 |
| 2 years | $1,520 | $1,370 | $1,220 |
| 3 years | $1,440 | $1,300 | $1,150 |
More than 20 users: Contact for quote. Tell us your user count and we will price it properly. Team licence, up to 10 users: $14,400 a year, the 6-10 user rate times 10, bought as one line item.
Licence notes & caveats
- All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and exclusive of GST; GST or local taxes may apply depending on your jurisdiction.
- The Individual licence is one named user, bought by a practitioner for themselves. It cannot be reassigned to another person and is not linked to a company domain. An organisation licensing two or more users buys per named user, or a team or site licence.
- Volume and term discounts combine. The team base rate is reduced by the volume discount for your user count, then by the term discount for your commitment, and rounded to the nearest ten dollars.
- Per user rates are per named user, per year, billed annually. A multi-year term is committed for its full length and holds the rate for that period.
- The team licence is the rate card price for its user count, bought as one annual total. It is capped at 10 users; past the cap, move to per user or site licensing.
- Licences are annual subscriptions. On the Order they are issued as Individual (one named user), Enterprise (per user and team licences, at the user count on the Order), or Site, as those tiers are defined in the licence terms.
- More than 20 users, or a site licence, is quoted on request rather than published. Contact sales with your structure and user count.
- The founding customer programme applies to per user, team and site licences only.
- Using the application requires a valid licence and sign-in. A demonstration is available on request before purchase.
- Figures on this page are indicative and may change; a formal quotation confirms current pricing and terms.
Every licence is the whole product
There is one edition. No feature tiers to compare, and nothing to buy on top of the licence to make it work.
The whole product
The full editor, the control register, performance standards, and the connected model behind them. There is no reduced edition and no per feature upsell.
Audit-ready evidence
The complete register PDF, plus PNG, SVG, and open JSON. Built to be handed to an auditor, not screenshotted into a slide.
Web and desktop
The same licence covers the browser edition and the macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop builds.
Every update while active
New capability ships to every active licence. No version upgrade fee, no maintenance contract to keep current.
No implementation project
No implementation fee, no onboarding fee, no training fee. Getting started is an account and a sign-in.
Support from the people who build it
You reach the engineers who wrote the software, not a ticket queue in front of them.
Limited offer
Save 30% off the team rate card above, in exchange for a named reference and a published case study. The discount comes off the 1 year rate for your user count, and is held for 3 years. Limited to the first 8 customers. Available on per user, team and site licences. Individual licences are excluded. This is a launch offer, not our standard pricing.

The 30% comes off the 1 year rate for your user count, and that rate cannot rise for 3 years from the start of the licence. It replaces the multi-year term discount rather than adding to it, so you hold a 1 year rate for 3 years.
No hidden fees. Your work stays yours.
What you pay for is the licence. What you build stays yours, on your machine, in open formats.
No fees beyond the licence
No implementation fee, no onboarding fee, no training fee. The rate on this page is what you pay. Getting started is an account and a sign-in, not a project.
Continuity clause
If Bowtie Risk Engine ceases trading, every active licence converts to a perpetual, fee-free licence you keep. It is clause 3 of the licence terms, not a promise on a web page.
Export guarantee
Every model exports to open JSON and SVG, stored locally on your own machine. Your files are readable without this software, so they never depend on continued access to it, or on us.
Try it before you pay
Three months of the full editor and control register, on a work email, with no credit card. Trial exports carry a small brand mark and CSV export is paid-only; everything else is the shipped product. Start a free trial.
Pricing questions
Who is the Individual licence for?
One practitioner buying for themselves: a consultant, a sole trader, or an engineer paying from their own budget. It is one named user, it cannot be reassigned to someone else, and it is not linked to a company domain. Everything else is the whole product, the same as every other licence. Start the free trial and buy when it has earned its place.
Can my company buy Individual licences for several people?
No. An organisation licensing two or more users buys per named user on the team rate card, or a team or site licence. That is what makes seats reassignable when people move on, puts them on one invoice, and lets a domain licence cover new colleagues automatically. The per user rate starts at $1,600 and falls with volume and term.
How do the volume and term discounts work?
They combine. The team rate is reduced by the volume discount for your user count, then by the term discount for your commitment, and rounded to the nearest $10. The full grid is the team rate card. For a comprehensive quote, contact us.
What if we have more than 20 users?
We quote it. Above 20 users the right answer is usually a site licence or a negotiated agreement, and that depends on how your organisation is structured rather than a published per seat rate. Tell us your numbers.
What does the free trial include?
Three months of the full editor, control register, and performance standards on a work email, with no credit card. Two limits apply while you are on trial: exported diagrams and the register PDF carry a small "Created with Bowtie Risk Engine" mark, and the raw CSV export is reserved for paid licences. Up to five colleagues from the same organisation can trial at once; ask us if you need more seats for an evaluation.
What happens when the trial ends?
Nothing is charged and nothing is deleted. Your account drops to read-only, so you can still open and export your existing bowties but not create or edit. Buy an Individual licence at $990 a year, or ask for a team quote, and editing resumes on the same account.
What happens if our subscription lapses?
Nothing is deleted when a licence ends. You keep signing in to open and export your existing bowties for at least 30 days, and creating and editing resume the moment the licence is renewed. Your models also live on your own machine in open JSON and SVG, so they never depend on continued access.
Do you offer education or not-for-profit pricing?
Often, yes. Get in touch with your context and we'll see what we can do.
