How the bill is built
Annual or monthly billing
Full Lifecycle is listed at US$999 a month when paid upfront annually. Monthly billing is US$1,159 a month. The payment schedule changes the total you pay over a year.
User allowance
The published Full Lifecycle plan includes up to 15 users. Enterprise has custom user arrangements. The listed pricing does not give a separate per-user rate.
Services in the bundle
Full Lifecycle combines opportunity discovery with application and spending oversight. It also includes accounting integrations and reporting tools, so the subscription covers a wider grant platform rather than only records you already manage.
Custom Enterprise pricing
Enterprise pricing is quoted privately, and user arrangements are custom. The published information does not give a price or set out how those custom arrangements change the bill.
A year of Instrumentl
The annual bill
Annual billing comes to US$11,988 a year, paid upfront at US$999 a month. Choosing monthly billing means twelve payments of US$1,159, or US$13,908 across the year. These are listed vendor prices, not a quote for your organisation. Enterprise pricing is quoted privately, with custom user arrangements.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Opportunity discovery
Full Lifecycle includes a service for finding grant opportunities. If you already know your funders, you may be paying for discovery alongside the records and application work you need to manage.
Spending oversight
The plan includes budgets, planned spending and actuals. These sit alongside Instrumentl’s application and discovery service, making spending oversight part of a wider platform subscription.
Reporting and connections
The subscription includes accounting integrations and reporting tools for funders and colleagues. You are paying for those platform services as well as the grant records and workflow.
