The plans
What Slate Admissions charges
Slate Admissions publishes an annual institutional licence price based on submitted application volume. The published figures are US$30,000 a year below 1,500 applications and US$50,000 a year for 1,500 to 7,500.
Below 1,500 submitted applications
US$30,000 a year
This is the published entry admissions licence for an institution.
1,500 to 7,500 submitted applications
US$50,000 a year
This is the published annual licence price for this application-volume band.
How the bill is built
Annual application-volume licence
The published entry licence is US$30,000 a year for fewer than 1,500 submitted applications. The next published band is US$50,000 a year for 1,500 to 7,500 applications.
Institution, not each reader
The published licence is for an institution, not each reader. That means the stated price is not multiplied by your reader count. The pricing information does not list a separate per-reader charge.
More than application review
Slate covers more than application review, including applicant-facing services. Before switching, compare the forms and connections your admissions office needs, since those may need to keep working in your replacement.
Check your volume and contract
The published annual licence figures are tied to submitted application volume. The available prices give two bands, but do not state a price for volumes above 7,500 applications or other contract terms.
A year of Slate Admissions
The published annual licence
Below 1,500 submitted applications, the published price is US$30,000 a year. For 1,500 to 7,500 applications, it is US$50,000 a year. These are vendor licence figures, not a verified invoice for a New Zealand or Australian institution. Check your application volume and contract when comparing your actual annual cost.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
An institutional licence
The published licence is for an institution rather than for each reader. The stated charge is not calculated by multiplying the price by your reader count. Compare the institutional licence with the work your admissions office actually needs.
A broader platform
Slate covers more than the internal application review desk, including applicant-facing services. The published price information does not break out separate charges for those services, so check which parts of the platform your institution uses.
Your application volume
The published annual price depends on the number of submitted applications. The stated bands are below 1,500 and from 1,500 to 7,500 applications. The available figures do not establish a price above that range.
