Pricing  ·  three commercial models

Three ways to pay.
One way to recover.

TraCarta’s pricing comes in three commercial models, not three product tiers. The platform is the same in all three: every airline, every module, every user seat. What differs is how you want the math to feel.

The three models

Three commercial shapes.
One platform underneath.

Every model gives you the full TraCarta platform, the engines, the portal, the integrations, the support, the audit grade. The choice between them is about how your finance team wants to budget, not what product you get.

01 Per invoice · transparent unit cost

Per airline
transaction

You pay a flat fee for each airline invoice TraCarta reconciles: tax invoices, credit notes, debit notes. Predictable unit economics, billed monthly in arrears.

Best when

You want the most legible cost, one rupee figure per invoice, tracked in your books like any other variable cost. Common for mid-sized corporates with steady, predictable travel volume.

What you pay

A per-invoice fee, tiered by annual volume. Higher volumes get lower per-unit rates. No setup fees, no platform fees, no per-seat charges.

The catch

The bill moves with your travel volume. A travel-heavy quarter costs more than a quiet one. Most teams see this as the right behaviour; some prefer a fixed annual number for budgeting.

02 Fixed annual · budget certainty

Fixed
pricing

A single annual figure, agreed upfront, covering everything: recon, retrieval, journals, integration, support. One line in your budget, one invoice a year.

Best when

You want budget certainty above all else. Common for large enterprises with multi-entity travel programs, public-sector buyers, and CFOs who prefer one annual procurement decision over a metered bill.

What you pay

One annual amount, sized to your travel program at agreement. Quarterly billing if you prefer; annual upfront if you want a discount. Volume swings within an agreed band are absorbed.

The catch

Requires us to scope volume properly together. If your travel program shifts dramatically, up or down, we’ll have an honest re-sizing conversation at renewal, not a surprise.

03 Outcome-aligned · skin in the game

% of net
ITC recovered

You pay a defined share of the input tax credit TraCarta actually lands in your books. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. The most aligned model we offer.

Best when

You’ve never run a recon program and want to validate the recovery before committing. Or your finance team is skeptical that the credit is real. Or you want the platform’s incentives perfectly aligned with yours.

What you pay

A defined percentage of recovered ITC, billed each filing cycle against the credit actually posted. Lower headline cost than the other models if recovery is modest; higher if it’s exceptional.

The catch

Only available above a minimum travel volume, below that, the engineering cost on our side outweighs the share we’d earn. We’ll tell you on the call whether your volume qualifies; it usually does.

Which one is you

The right model depends on
how your CFO thinks.

Three short reads. Find the one that sounds like your finance team and you’ll know which model to start the conversation with. None of this is permanent. You can switch models at renewal.

If you’re...

A mid-sized corporate tracking unit costs like every other line item.

Your finance team already runs variable-cost reporting. They want clarity on what each unit of travel costs them, end to end. The per-invoice model fits that habit precisely.

Start with — per invoice
If you’re...

A large enterprise where budget certainty is non-negotiable.

Procurement closes a single PO. Finance forecasts a single annual number. Operations doesn’t want to be the team whose costs swing with travel volume. Fixed pricing is built for this.

Start with — fixed pricing
If you’re...

A first-time recon buyer who wants the platform to prove itself first.

You haven’t measured the leak before. Your team is reasonably skeptical the credit is recoverable. You want a model where TraCarta only earns when you do. Outcome pricing is the cleanest answer.

Start with — % of net ITC
Sample numbers

The shape of each model.
One worked example.

Below, an illustrative comparison of how the three models would shape up for a single corporate client with ₹5 Cr annual airline spend, roughly 12,000 reconcilable invoices a year. Your actual numbers depend on volume, airline mix, and term length. We’ll size them precisely on a call.

Numbers shown as ranges, not quotes. Actual pricing is sized per organisation based on travel volume, airline mix, integration scope, and term, not auto-generated from a calculator. We don’t publish per-invoice rates because the right number for a 5,000-invoice customer is genuinely different from the right number for a 100,000-invoice customer.
What every plan includes

The product doesn’t change.
Only the math does.

We don’t feature-gate modules. We don’t lock airlines behind tiers. Every TraCarta customer gets the full platform. The commercial model is the only variable.

Included in all three models Same product · same support · same SLAs
All six Sky modules SkyDox, SkyLedger, SkyIQ, SkyBoard, SkyConnect, and SkyLink where applicable. The whole platform, end to end.
Every airline we cover Every Indian carrier and the major international airlines used for business travel. New carriers added on request.
Unlimited user seats Finance, tax, controllers, auditors, executives. No per-seat charge, no role limits, read-only seats for auditors and CAs included.
All filing cycles Monthly, quarterly, year-end, whatever your filing cadence requires. Accelerated sweeps before each deadline.
Audit-grade export packs Per-invoice, per-cycle, and per-year audit bundles, with source PDFs, recon evidence, and the verdict chain.
Support SLAs Business-hours response under 4 hours, urgent-issue response under 1 hour. Filing-deadline escalation always covered.
Integrations included Tally, SAP, Oracle, Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, GSTN connections. Custom ERP work scoped per engagement.
Onboarding Three-week structured onboarding with brand setup, integration, and a first-cycle pilot. No separate “professional services” line item.
For very large programs

Above 100,000 invoices a year, we price custom.

At enterprise scale, multi-entity, multi-country, large public-sector, the standard models stop being the right fit. We sit with your team, scope the program properly, and propose pricing built around your actual structure. Procurement-friendly terms; long-form contracts; reference customers on request.

For travel management companies

Selling TraCarta to your clients? That’s SkyLink.

TMCs delivering TraCarta to their corporate clients use SkyLink, a partner pricing model with a per-invoice back-end fee, leaving the front-end pricing entirely under your control. Typical partner margin: 60–75% on delivered ITC.

Honest pricing questions

What a finance team would ask.

Are there any setup or implementation fees?

No. Onboarding, brand setup, integration to your ERP, and the first-cycle pilot are included in the model fee. We don’t charge a separate professional-services line. If a particularly bespoke integration or compliance request comes up, we’ll discuss it openly before any work starts, not as a surprise on the invoice.

Are there minimums or annual commitments?

Model-dependent. Per-invoice has no minimum, you pay only for what runs. Fixed and outcome models require annual terms (12 months), since both involve us sizing the program at start. There’s no early-termination penalty, if it’s not working, we’ll discuss exit honestly, not contractually.

Is TraCarta’s fee itself subject to GST?

Yes, standard GST applies to TraCarta’s services. Our invoices are GST-compliant and the credit on our own fee is itself recoverable by your organisation as input tax credit, like any other business service.

What happens if our travel volume changes mid-year?

Per-invoice scales naturally. Fixed plans absorb reasonable variance within an agreed band; large swings get an honest re-size conversation, not a default upcharge. Outcome plans are inherently variable. The math moves with recovery. If your program changes meaningfully, we’ll review the model fit at renewal.

Can we switch models later?

At renewal, yes. Most customers start with one model and stay with it, but switching is a normal conversation, not a renegotiation. Switching from outcome to fixed after the first year is the most common path, once your team trusts the recovery numbers.

If we leave, what happens to our data?

It comes with you. We hand over a complete export, source PDFs, recon results, verdict chain, audit trails, posting history, in standard formats. No hostage data. No exit fee. We’d rather have a customer recommend us than punish them for leaving.

Talk numbers

Not a discovery call. Just numbers.

Bring your annual travel volume, your airline mix, and the model you’re considering. We’ll come back with a specific quote, the actual number, the contract terms, and a recovery estimate based on customers with comparable profiles. No salesperson cycles. One conversation, real numbers.
