Costs and packages
Article 2 of 14 · Portals, costs and contractsWhat does energy management software cost per month?
Direct answer
Energy management software usually costs per month based on the number of meters, sites, modules and the desired support. Simple dashboards often start low, while multi-site analysis, cost insight, capacity analysis, reporting and alerts are more expensive.
- Price depends on scope and modules
- The number of meters and sites is decisive
- Analysis is more valuable than standalone charts
- An upfront call prevents over-dimensioning
Cheap dashboard versus full-fledged energy platform
Prices for energy management software vary because one solution only shows consumption while another also includes costs, peaks, contracted capacity, reporting and advisory context. A fair comparison therefore begins with the question of what you want to do with the data.
- The price usually depends on meters, sites, data volume and modules.
- Don't pay just for charts, but for analysis, reporting and follow-up.
- A no-obligation call about your own data helps determine which package is really needed.
Price basis
Traditional approach
Low monthly price per meter or basic account.
Modern approach
Price based on sites, modules, analysis and support.
Functionality
Traditional approach
Viewing and exporting consumption.
Modern approach
Costs, peaks, deviations, reporting and advice input.
Value
Traditional approach
Insight into what has happened.
Modern approach
Priorities for savings, contracts and optimisation.
Risk
Traditional approach
Cheap, but possibly little action-oriented.
Modern approach
More investment, but also more decision value.
Which factors determine the price?
The price is usually determined by the number of connections, meters, sites, energy carriers, data integrations, users, reports and modules such as cost insight or capacity analysis.
- Number of EANs, meters and sites.
- Quarter-hour data, historical data and data quality.
- Modules for costs, peaks, alerts and reporting.
- Support, setup and advisory hours.
When is software worth the price?
Software is worth the price when insights lead to better choices, less manual work, faster detection or stronger preparation of procurement and advice conversations.
- Manual reporting is reduced.
- Deviations become visible sooner.
- Peak load and cost impact are understood.
- Decisions are based on current data.
Why start with a no-obligation call?
A no-obligation call prevents you from choosing a large package too early. Together with a specialist it becomes clear which modules deliver value and which scope makes sense. You receive a response within one business day.
- First discuss what your meter data can reveal.
- Determine scope based on your situation.
- Don't buy unnecessary modules.
- A better basis for package choice and quote.
What does energy management software cost for SMEs?
For SMEs, every euro counts. That is why a modular model is more logical than a fixed sector package: you start small and expand as the need grows. At COMCAM you start with Consumption Analysis at a fixed, indicative price per meter per month and add only modules that deliver value. Prices become final after the scope is determined.
- Consumption Analysis as a basis at a fixed, indicative price per meter per month.
- Financial Analysis to expand at a fixed surcharge per meter per month.
- Capacity Analysis to expand at a fixed surcharge per meter per month.
- Pay per meter, scale with the number of branches.
Curious what this looks like with your own data?
In a no-obligation call, a specialist looks at your meters, sites and energy questions with you. Response within one business day.
