Assign module roles
Start with the Tessera roles your team needs now, then add more as responsibilities change.
Pricing
Flexible pricing that grows with you.
Start with the module you need today. Add extra modules when your team needs them.
A user with one paid module is £6 per month. If they need another module, add £3. For current paid modules, one person will never cost more than £15 per month. Prices are shown excluding VAT. No VAT is added at launch.
An active named user is an active internal user assigned at least one paid module, including a user with read-only module access.
Launch pricing is guaranteed for early customers for the first 12 months. Prices may vary after that.
Future specialist services, integrations, consultancy or usage-based services may be priced separately.
You are in control
Start with what you need. Add more when you are ready.
Every business works differently, so your Tessera plan should work around your team, not the other way round.
Pay monthly
Keep your costs simple and predictable with month-by-month billing for active named users.
Leave any time
There is no minimum contract length and no annual agreement to work around.
How pricing works
Your monthly plan follows each person’s access.
- Zero paid modules means no paid module charge.
- One paid module is £6 per month.
- Each extra current paid module adds £3.
- The maximum monthly price is £15 per month.
This means you can start small, keep things simple, and build from there without pushing every person into the same package.
Choose who gets access
Each person only needs the modules that fit their role.
Some users may only need CRM. Others may need Projects, Service Desk, Pipeline, Time Recording, Quotes and Estimates, Invoices, Knowledge hub, Ideas & Workshops, or a combination of modules. You choose what each person needs rather than paying for the same setup for everyone.
Monthly module pricing
Pick the tools you need and keep the cost predictable.
Prices are per active named user. Invited users who have not accepted, external client users, and disabled users outside the current period are not charged. Active internal users with paid module assignments are charged, including read-only users.

Start with admin access
Create the workspace before assigning paid roles.
Set up the organisation, review billing, and assign the available module roles that make sense for your team. Stripe Checkout only starts when billable access exists.
No long contracts
You can leave at any time.
There is no minimum contract length, and you are not tied into an annual agreement. Tessera is designed to be flexible for smaller businesses that need to manage costs carefully.
Commercial workflow
Quotes, estimates and invoices stay connected to the work.
Accepted quotes or estimates can prepare customer invoices and issue printable invoice documents.
Clear boundaries
Invoice management is not an accounting suite.
This slice does not include payment collection, customer invoice emailing, credit notes, time-entry invoicing or accounting integrations. Future premium or integration services may be priced separately.
Questions
Clear answers before you start.
What is an active named user?
An active named user is an active internal user assigned at least one paid module, including a user with read-only module access.
Are invited users billable?
No. A person who has only been invited but has not accepted or started using Tessera is not counted as an active named user.
Are read-only users charged?
Yes. An active internal user assigned a paid module is billable even when their module access is read-only.
Do external client or customer users count?
No. External client or customer users are not counted as active named users for this launch pricing model.
What happens when a user is disabled?
Disabled users may retain access until the end of the current billing period, but they do not create a new charge after that period ends.
What happens if we remove a module mid-period?
Removing a module mid-period can remain effective for the current billing period and apply to the next period unless Tessera agrees a manual adjustment.
Can different users have different modules?
Yes. One person may only need CRM, while another may need CRM, Projects and Invoices. You assign the available module roles each person needs.
Do we have to buy every module?
No. Tessera can make only the useful modules available for your business. Some users may need several module roles, while others may only need one.
What happens if one person needs several modules?
Their first paid module is £6 per month and each extra current paid module is £3 per month, capped at £15 per month.
Can we switch module roles later?
You can add or remove module roles as responsibilities change. New access can be assigned during a billing period, and removals normally apply from the next period unless agreed otherwise.

The £15 maximum monthly price applies to the current customer-facing paid modules: CRM, Pipeline, Projects, Team Planner, Ideas & Workshops, Time Recording, Quotes and Estimates, Invoices, Service Desk, Knowledge Hub.
