  SmartSimple Cloud is sold as a configurable enterprise SaaS subscription, not
  a self-serve metered API product. Pricing is contact-sales - published entry
  points cited by third parties put it around 6,000 USD per year (roughly 500
  USD per month) at the low end, with the annual fee scaled by the number of
  internal users, the hours they spend in the system each month, the number of
  external users (applicants, reviewers), the hosting model (multi-tenant,
  single-tenant, or on-premise), and optional add-ons such as the High
  Performance Private Cloud and AI features. Implementation is priced separately
  by project complexity, configured modules, and required integrations. The
  APIs (SmartConnect, OData, SOAP) are included with the platform subscription
  rather than billed as a separate line item. Exact figures are not reconciled
  here.
notes: >-
  Figures are indicative and drawn from third-party listings; SmartSimple does
  not publish a fixed price sheet. Confirm current pricing, tiers, and API
  availability directly with SmartSimple sales during reconciliation.
