Pricing

Straightforward, model-based pricing

Pricing is structured to match how you work with us — each model has its own straightforward fee arrangement, with no hidden costs.

Tech-Only Model
Licensing fee
The technology-only model is priced as a platform licensing fee. You retain full operational control, and the fee covers access to the full DAFtech platform, configuration, and ongoing updates.
Full-Service Model
Revenue share
For full-service programs, DAFtech earns a small percentage of the management fee you charge your fundholders. Our incentives are fully aligned — we grow when your program grows, and there is no cost when there is no activity.
Contact us for a detailed proposal tailored to your program size, geography, and operating model.
Staff Training
Included
Up to 20 hours of staff training provided at no additional cost, running in parallel with the implementation timeline.
