The headline, proven
Take the Scale tier — a real two-sided marketplace with live selling, conferencing, AI minutes, commerce, SEO and wallets. Here is what it costs on XPRE, and what the same capability costs the other way.
Build it from scratch
£316,250
9 months with a 3-person team at a blended £550/day. Then you still run it.
115 engineer-weeks of work, one way.
Stitch the SaaS together
£5,450/mo
The subscriptions this stack removes — Sharetribe, Mux, LiveKit, Zoom, Otter, Semrush and more, each a separate bill and contract.
On XPRE (Scale tier)
£3,499/mo
One platform, one bill, every module included. First-year saving versus build + a year of SaaS:
£338,787
The stack: Marketplace Engine, Auction & Bidding, Live Streaming, Live Commerce, Video Conferencing, AI Meeting Intelligence, E-Commerce, Memberships & Subscriptions, SEO & Growth Engine, Wallets & Token Infrastructure, Messaging & Community. Figures are indicative, drawn from the verified value model. See the full comparison →
Platform tiers
Each tier bundles the modules a stage of business actually needs, with a monthly ceiling. Go over the ceiling and the extra is metered — never a surprise invoice.

How the monthly is built
The composer shows every one of them working on your own stack — list price, what is bundled in, what the taper removes, and what you actually pay.
Identity, permissions, profiles, storage, notifications and analytics are part of every plan. Nobody should pay a line item for login.
The first three chargeable modules are full price, modules four to seven are 20% off, and everything from the eighth is 35% off.
Pick Starter, Pro or Scale and the monthly is capped — overage is metered, never an unbounded sum.
Quarterly takes 5% off the monthly, annual takes 12%. Applied after the taper, not instead of it.
25% of the monthly on Hosted, 1.6× that on Managed. Paid on the first invoice and never again.
Streaming minutes, payment volume and AI tokens are metered on consumption rather than padded into the subscription.
