Cosuno activity-based pricing model

Activity based pricing makes Cosuno feel less like generic project software and more like outsourced procurement capacity. A contractor pays more when more tenders are live, more subcontractors are being invited, and more bids need to be compared, which matches the moments when procurement teams are busiest. That fit is especially useful in construction, where workload expands and contracts with the project pipeline, not just with headcount.

• The core workflow is tied to projects. Purchasing managers use Cosuno to send packages to trade firms, collect bid responses, compare prices, and manage subcontractor sourcing, so project volume is the cleanest proxy for how much work the product is doing.

• This pricing logic is similar to other procurement software that charges on the atomic unit under management rather than pure seats. BRM prices by vendors under management because customers can see the labor removed per vendor. Cosuno applies the same idea to construction procurement, where the natural unit is the active project or tender.

• It also supports Cosuno's marketplace shape. General contractors and developers fund the system, while subcontractors can join on a free tier, which helps keep bid coverage high. That makes higher activity valuable twice, as more software usage and more marketplace liquidity.

Over time, this model should let Cosuno grow with each customer's construction volume before it has to win every individual user. As procurement moves from email and spreadsheets into structured workflows, vendors that price on real operational throughput should capture more spend than seat based tools that miss the surge and slowdown of project driven work.
