Pricing
Basil’s pricing is simple, straightforward, and competitive:
- $250 one-time set-up fee
- Starting at $225 per month (depending on store size, volume, and product type) ... that's it!!
- No contract
- No pricey service or support agreements
- No charge for updates
To begin using Basil Bookseller Software, you pay an initial, one-time $250 set-up fee that covers the set up and installation of the program as well as configuration of the hardware required for your store. Beyond the set up fee, you pay a month-to-month fee per month that is based on the size of your store, the volume of operations, and the types of products.
Basil’s service fee is charged on a month-to-month basis and can be canceled at any time without penalty.
For customers who choose take advantage of our automated marketplace capability, we charge an additional 1% of gross sales for markets that are managed within Basil.
Basil Lite
We offer a product that has fewer bells and whistles but also a "lite" price tag. Basil Lite offers pricing on a per machine basis starting at $65 per machine per month. You can add online selling to the Basil Lite license for an additional $50 per month. If this is what you are looking for, then take a look at Basil Lite. It has all the benefits of Basil with less functionality, but that may be perfect for your store.
