Efficient Procurement with Verto
Verto pricing
What drives the cost, and how to buy
Verto is an annual subscription made up of two parts: a platform fee and user licences. Your price depends on how many people use Verto, which modules you switch on and how long you sign for.
Below we set out our published prices, what brings the cost down, how Verto compares with other ways of running PPM, and how to buy through G-Cloud 15, TePAS 2 or direct award.
What does Verto cost?
Our prices are published on the government's G-Cloud 15 framework. Every Verto agreement is made up of a platform fee and user licences.
Verto Pro: ready to use out of the box. £7,500 a year platform fee, plus £500 per full user a year. It includes the full portfolio, programme and project feature set, online training and standard support.
Verto Enterprise: configured to your organisation. £20,000 a year platform fee, plus £500 per full user a year. It adds configuration and implementation, a dedicated Client Success Manager and Key Account Manager, timesheets, strategic objectives and two days of report writing a year.
Workspace licences for people who only view or update their own work cost £100 per user a year on either plan.
| Verto Pro | Verto Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee (per year) | £7,500 | £20,000 |
| Full user licence (per user, per year) | £500 | £500 |
| Workspace licence (per user, per year) | £100 | £100 |
Example: a portfolio office with 50 full users and 200 Workspace users would pay about £65,000 a year on Verto Enterprise (£20,000 + 50 × £500 + 200 × £100).
All prices exclude VAT and are billed annually in advance. Optional modules and services are priced separately.
User licences
Covers access for the people who use Verto day to day. It scales with how many people use the platform and which modules you switch on.
Alongside full user licences, we offer a Workspace licence for wider access across your organisation, so anyone can complete everyday tasks, update assignments and collaborate on shared work without needing a full licence.
Platform fee
Covers access to the Verto platform and everything behind the scenes that keeps it running: hosting, security, updates and support.
What drives your annual fee?
You only pay for what you need, and your Account Director will talk you through every line on your quote. Your total depends on:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you publish your prices?
Yes. Our prices are published on the government's G-Cloud 15 framework and set out on this page. Your quote depends on how many users you need, which modules you switch on and your contract term. If you need a budget figure for a business case, ask and we will give you an indicative price range in writing.
What brings the cost down?
Four things make the biggest difference:
- Contract length. Most agreements run for an initial three years, with the option to extend a year at a time, up to five years in total under G-Cloud. A longer term usually lowers the annual cost.
- Workspace licences. People who only view or update their own work can use a Workspace licence instead of a full one.
- Only the modules you need. Start with what you use now and add modules later.
- A phased rollout. Begin with one portfolio or directorate and expand once it is working.
How does Verto's price compare with other PPM options?
Broadly, PPM options fall into five groups:
- Work-management tools, such as monday.com and Smartsheet: good for tracking tasks and team work, but portfolio governance, assurance and benefits usually need workarounds.
- Microsoft Planner or Project: the lowest licence cost if you already have Microsoft 365, but portfolio governance, benefits and reporting usually need building or adding.
- Power Platform builds: licences you may already hold, plus the cost of designing, building and maintaining your own tool.
- Portfolio platforms built for the public sector, such as Verto, PM3 (Bestoutcome) and Aspyre Mosaic: an annual subscription sized to your organisation. Portfolio governance, assurance, benefits and government reporting come as standard, and implementation takes weeks rather than years.
- Global enterprise suites, such as Planview, ServiceNow SPM and Planisware: typically the highest licence and implementation costs, designed for very large, often multinational portfolios.
Whichever you compare, ask for a three-year total including implementation, training and support, not just the licence.
Do you offer a free trial?
We don't run trials, but we do offer a strategic PPM workshop for qualifying organisations. Ask about it on your scoping call.
How long is the contract?
Agreements start with an initial three-year term, with the option to extend a year at a time, up to five years in total under G-Cloud.
Can we add new users partway through?
Yes. You can add full users or Workspace users at any time during your contract. New users are pro-rated from the day they are added.
What happens at renewal?
We get in touch 90 days before your contract ends with a renewal proposal. No automatic uplifts and no surprises.
Is training included?
Yes. Implementation includes training for admins, users and Workspace users. You can buy extra training at any time through your Customer Success Manager.
Do you help with migration?
Yes. We move your existing project, programme and portfolio data into Verto as part of implementation.
