Pricing
One platform. Every workforce-employment model.
Stratum runs PEO, ASO, domestic EOR, a CPA/accounting-firm channel, and staffing agencies on the same platform. Self-host on a perpetual license, or have us run it for you, priced PEPM — same two tracks as our core pricing, across every vertical.
Self-Hosted License
You own the deployment — no hosting fee, no per-employee cost to us.
| Vertical | One-time license (perpetual) | Annual subscription (self-hosted) |
|---|---|---|
| PEO | $150,000 | $51,000/yr |
| ASO | $108,000 | $39,000/yr |
| EOR | $90,000 | $36,000/yr |
| CPA channel | $45,000 | $18,000/yr (per firm/seat) |
| Staffing | $90,000 | $33,000/yr |
Fully Managed / Hosted
We run it for you — PEPM includes infrastructure and ops.
| Vertical | PEPM (hosting incl.) | Context |
|---|---|---|
| PEO | $10 | Hosted — matches PrismHR / ProLiant / Netchex-style bureau software. |
| ASO | $8 | Hosted — same as PEO; the isolved-for-bureaus benchmark. |
| EOR | $10 | Deel / Remote / Papaya price almost exclusively per-employee/month. |
| CPA channel | $5 | Market norm is flat firm/seat, not PEPM — priced per-employee here for consistency. |
| Staffing | $10 | Hybrid in market: base license + per-placement fee (Avionte / TempWorks / Bullhorn). |
Founding Circle: ~30% off list, locked for life
Capped at one customer per vertical. The discount is permanent on the one-time license and holds for 24 months on annual/PEPM pricing. Also includes 20 hours of free customization/implementation support (a $150/hr value — $3,000) — in exchange for reference and case-study rights.
À la carte: license only the microservices you need
Every module — payroll, benefits, time & leave, workers’ comp, HR compliance — is available individually, priced independently of the full-platform license above. Contact us to scope a custom bundle.
The annual subscription above keeps the platform current with regulatory and compliance changes — updated tax tables, leave-accrual rate schedules, and other legally-driven changes that recur annually or as new rules take effect.
