Pricing
ONLY PAY FOR WHAT YOU NEED
ipLaser fees are transactional: you pay less in quiet months and more in busy months. You are not locked into an ongoing fee.
To get started, there is an upfront deposit that is required to get your system setup and your team trained, which is credited to your account for you to use for quoting in your first 12 months.
As a cloud service, there is no installation required, no expensive hardware needed to host your own software, and your data and backup is taken care of with our service.

For customers who produce their own quotes, a fee is charged per order item. If the customer doesn’t convert their quote to an order, then no fee is charged.
In addition, the usage of the multi-part nesting feature incurs a charge per unique nested sheet generated.
For quotes produced internally by sales staff, a fee is charged per unique quote item calculated and confirmed, the fee is based on the vendor’s region.
