Why we publish our prices (when nobody else does)

The Problem

You search for fire safety software. You find one that looks right. You click "Pricing" and get: "Contact Sales for a custom quote."

So you fill in the form. Someone calls you back. They want to book a demo. Then a qualification call. Then maybe, if you're the right fit, they'll send a quote. A week later, you still don't know what it costs.

You just want to know the price. That shouldn't be this hard.

Why They Hide

Most fire safety software in Australia is owned by private equity groups. Their model is straightforward: acquire platforms, bundle everything together, and charge a premium per seat.

Hidden pricing lets them charge different customers different rates based on how much they think you'll pay. A five-person team gets one price. A twenty-person operation gets another. Neither knows what the other pays.

That's how the industry works. We don't think it has to.

Our Position

"We publish our prices because we think that's how business should work. If our pricing doesn't fit your budget, we'd rather you know now than waste your time."

- Colin Keegan, Co-Founder - Fire Safety & Rafael Da Costa, Co-Founder - Technology

PaperFlow was built by people from the fire safety industry who lived this problem. We've sat through the demos, waited for the quotes, and watched good businesses pay too much for tools they half-use.

We're not backed by private equity. We're a Perth-based team building software for an industry we know. The kind of people who'll look you in the eye at the next industry event.

We built PaperFlow because we believe fire safety companies deserve tools that respect their time and their budget. Not every business needs an enterprise platform, but every business deserves to know what they're paying before they commit.

What This Means in Practice

  • Published pricing on the website

    No "Contact Sales" gates. The number is right there on the pricing page.

  • No surprise fees

    What you see is what you pay. No hidden setup costs, no per-report charges.

  • No annual lock-in

    Month-to-month. Cancel any time. We earn your partnership every month.

  • No sales demo required

    See the price, then decide if you want to talk. Not the other way around.
