AlternativeSoft uses module-based pricing — institutions pay for the specific modules they need rather than a single all-in bundle. This allows institutions of different sizes to access the capabilities appropriate for their requirements.
Pricing varies by: modules activated (fund database, analytics, ODD, reporting); number of users and concurrent access requirements; data provider connections included; and volume of fund universe coverage required.
AlternativeSoft does not publish standard list pricing. All pricing is provided through a direct quote tailored to each institution. Contact AlternativeSoft to request a quote or book a demonstration.
