How much does ESG software cost?

ESG software pricing is notoriously opaque. Here's what you should expect to pay in 2026, based on platform category and company size.

Company size	Indicative annual licence	Typical implementation	What's usually included
SME 1–249 employees	£3,000–£12,000	2–4 weeks	Scope 1 & 2 carbon, supplier responses, B Corp, basic reporting
Mid-Market 250–2,000 employees	£15,000–£40,000	4–8 weeks	Full Scope 3, supplier ESG, CSRD/ISSB/GRI, materiality, AI extraction
Enterprise 2,000+ employees	On request	2–6 months	Multi-entity consolidation, custom frameworks, API integrations, dedicated success

The hidden costs to ask about

Implementation fees. Many vendors charge 20–50% of the annual licence as a one-off setup fee. ESG:ONE includes implementation in the annual price.
Module add-ons. Some platforms bundle carbon but charge separately for supplier ESG, materiality, or framework-specific reporting.
Per-user pricing. Pricing that scales with seats penalises broad organisational adoption. Check whether the published price is for unlimited users or a specific cap.
Year-2 uplift. Some vendors discount Year 1 heavily then escalate 20–30% at renewal. Ask for a 3-year fixed quote.
Internal staff time. A platform that demands 6 months of analyst time to operate is more expensive than a more capable platform that needs 6 weeks.

Compare honestly. See how ESG:ONE pricing stacks up against Workiva, Watershed, Persefoni, Sweep and others in our 12-platform ESG reporting software comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is ESG:ONE pricing calculated?

Pricing is based on organisation size (employees, revenue), the modules you need (carbon, supplier ESG, financial impact, materiality), reporting framework scope (CSRD, ISSB, GRI, B Corp), and number of users. We publish indicative ranges above and confirm a fixed annual quote within 24 hours of your sizing call.

Are implementation fees included?

Yes. ESG:ONE includes onboarding, data migration and configuration in the annual licence - no separate implementation fee. Most clients are live within 2–3 weeks.

Is ESG:ONE cheaper than Workiva, Watershed or Persefoni?

For most UK and European mid-market companies (100–2,000 employees), yes. Workiva is positioned at large enterprise; Watershed and Persefoni focus on carbon and skew higher for full-scope deployments. ESG:ONE Mid-Market starts at £15,000/year covering carbon, supplier ESG, materiality and CSRD/ISSB/GRI reporting in one platform.

Can SMEs afford CSRD-grade ESG software?

Yes. SMEs that are out of CSRD scope but face data requests from in-scope customers can use ESG:ONE Starter (£3,000–£12,000/year) to handle Scope 1 & 2 carbon, supplier questionnaires, B Corp data and EcoVadis assessments. For SMEs voluntarily aligning with CSRD-style disclosure, Starter covers most of the requirement.

Is there a free trial?

We offer personalised demos and a 30-day pilot programme on your own data, so you can verify the platform fits before committing. Pilot scope is agreed up-front to keep it focused (typically one reporting framework or one facility's data).

What's included in support?

All plans include onboarding, documentation, and email support. Professional and Enterprise plans include priority support and dedicated success managers.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes, you can upgrade at any time. We'll help you transition smoothly to ensure no data or workflow disruption.
