12-month contract · card payment, monthly.
SteelEstim8 just came out of pilot. We're opening it to our first batch of early customers — the intro pricing below is the deal for being early. Both intro offers run until 31 July 2026. 12-month contract, paid by card — instant access on signup. New modules ship as optional add-ons — you pay for them only if you want them.
Half-price for your first 3 months, then standard.
12-month contract · card payment, monthly.
Pay for 9 months, get 12. One upfront payment.
12-month contract · one upfront payment via Stripe Checkout.
By signing up you agree to the 12-month contract terms — see Terms. After year one, both plans roll to monthly — cancel any time.
Monthly is easier on cash flow: £87.50/mo for 3 months, then £175/mo charged automatically to your card. Year-1 total £1,837.50 + VAT. Pick this if you want the smallest first payment.
Annual is cheaper overall: £1,575 + VAT in one upfront payment (saves you another £262.50 vs monthly). Pick this if you've got the cash and you'd rather pay once and forget.
Both plans cover the same 12-month contract and the same product. Both pay by card via Stripe Checkout. Both intro prices end 31 July 2026.
You commit to 12 months of subscription. Paid either monthly by card (£87.50 for 3 months then £175 for 9 = £1,837.50 + VAT) or in one annual upfront card payment (£1,575 + VAT). After 12 months the subscription rolls to monthly at £175 and you can cancel any time. We commit to the price; you commit to the year. Same way you'd buy phone, internet, plant hire, or vehicle leasing.
On the Monthly plan: the remaining months of
the term become payable on cancellation
(remaining months × £175 + VAT).
On the Annual plan: you've already paid for the year, so there's nothing further to pay — but the annual fee is non-refundable and your access continues until the end of the 12 months.
Full wording in the Terms. After the initial 12-month term, both plans roll to monthly — cancel any time, no exit fee.

No. It runs in the browser. Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox. Desktop today; the iPad & Mobile module — including Apple Pencil drawing for bespoke frames — is on the roadmap.
Basic stays at £175/month for everyone, present and future. New modules ship as optional add-ons and have their own pricing. Stay on Basic and your bill stays the same.

Today: portal-frame buildings, end to end. Next: an iPad & Mobile module with Apple Pencil drawing for bespoke frames (every line linked to live steel prices), plus Mezzanine and Stairs modules. Each one ships as an optional add-on you choose to take or skip.
Monthly plan: recurring card payment via Stripe Checkout. You enter your card details once at sign-up; Stripe charges it on the same date each month, automatically. Cancel from your account portal any time after the 12-month term.
Annual plan: one upfront card payment via Stripe Checkout. Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer also supported — pick the one that suits your finance team.
Stripe handles the card storage on PCI-compliant infrastructure; we never see your raw card details.
Yes. There's an auto-renew toggle on the sign-up page. Leave it on and your subscription continues at £175/month after the 12-month contract ends; turn it off and the subscription stops at the end of the term. You can change this any time from your account portal before the renewal date.
Every customer who signs up on or before 31 July 2026 gets a 30-minute video call with the founder, every month, for their first 6 months. We talk through how you're using it, what's annoying, what you want fixed or built next. You get real input on the roadmap; we get the signal we need to make the product better. Bookable via a calendar link sent in the welcome email.
After the 6 months, support continues by email. The calls are an introductory benefit, not a permanent feature — sunset because at scale we can't sustain them, and we'd rather be honest than promise something we can't keep.
