What it costs, answered
What Cadenta costs for forty people, contractors included
Forty full-time people on Business, eight contractors and four client guests comes to $836 a month. Here is every line of that, and what moves when the shape of the team changes.
The worked figure
Business is $19 per seat per month. Contractors bill at half a seat, $9.50, on Business and above. Read-only guests scoped to a single project are free on every plan, with no cap on how many.
A forty-person team with eight contractors and four client guests therefore pays for forty full seats and eight halves.
| Line | Count | Rate | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full seats | 40 | $19.00 | $760.00 |
| Contractor seats | 8 | $9.50 | $76.00 |
| Read-only guests | 4 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Projects | 12 | no per-project fee | $0.00 |
| Total | 52 people | $836.00 |
Who counts as which
The three categories are defined by access, not by employment. Someone on your payroll working a fixed set of projects is a contractor seat for billing purposes if that is the access they have.
- Full seat. Comments, is assigned work, logs time, and sees the portfolio rollup across every project they are a member of.
- Contractor seat. Everything a full seat does, scoped to a named set of projects, without the portfolio rollup. Half rate, Business and above.
- Guest. Read-only, one project, cannot comment or be assigned. Free, unlimited, every plan.
What changes at each tier boundary
Tiers differ by capability, not by seat count. There is no threshold that moves you automatically.
| Team $11 | Business $19 | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Projects | unlimited | unlimited | unlimited |
| Portfolio rollup | up to 5 projects | unlimited | unlimited |
| Contractor half-rate seats | no | yes | yes |
| Free read-only guests | yes | yes | yes |
| Sync interval | 15 minutes | 5 minutes | 5 minutes |
| SCIM provisioning | no | yes | yes |
| Data region choice | US | US, EU, AU | US, EU, AU |
The same team on Team instead
At $11 a seat, forty people is $440. Contractors bill at full rate on Team, so eight more seats is $88, and the total is $528.
The rollup is the constraint rather than the price. Team covers a portfolio view across five projects. A twelve-project portfolio reaches that limit, and the remaining seven are visible individually but not in one view.
Year two
The published rate is the renewal rate. There is no introductory discount that expires, so a forty-seat team paying $836 in month one pays $836 in month thirteen, plus or minus seats.
Annual billing is the published figure. Monthly billing is the same rate plus 15 percent.
