Pricing

Self Service

$2,500

For teams that want a data-led shortlist and prefer to run the process in-house.

Best for when you’ve got a capable internal PM and a clear mandate and you just need the noise filtered out.

Self Service gives you a research-backed shortlist, a vendor demo script that forces vendors to show the hard stuff, and a staff survey that turns opinions into apples-to-apples scores. On this plan, you can move fast and eliminate guessing.

Consultant Review

$6,500

For teams that want expert perspective on fit and trade-offs before they choose.

Best for when want to pair your internal knowledge with Beacon’s market perspective.

You’ll get targeted consults, clear feedback on goals and trade-offs, and a scoring summary of the team’s demo feedback.

It’s the confidence boost that keeps you from missing blind spots or getting swayed by the “shiniest thing” demo.

Facilitated

$12,000

For teams that want end-to-end orchestration through demos and contracts.

We run apples-to-apples demos, keep vendors on script, synthesize feedback, and steer a fair decision and contract so momentum never stalls.

How Can the Net Cost be $0?

Our fixed price is so low, that in most cases, the net cost to you will be ZERO*. How is this possible? AMS vendors offer referral commissions and broker fees. Beacon has negotiated with the curated AMS vendors in our directory to pass that commission to you. You get expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes and most or all of our price is refunded to you in the form of a discount from the selected AMS vendor.

If afterwards you don’t feel our selection process was effective in helping you find the right AMS, we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
