A public range should reduce confusion before a discovery call, not manufacture certainty that real scope cannot support.
Pricing anchors // enterprise delivery
Clear pricing for systems built around how your business actually runs
These are starting points and typical ranges. Final pricing is confirmed after discovery, written scope, and complexity scoring.
Clear price anchors, not fake certainty
Public pricing should help you understand the investment range without pretending every project is identical. Scope, content volume, integrations, workflow complexity, and environment constraints all affect final price. That is why Vantus publishes anchors and ranges instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all number onto unlike work.
Commercial honesty
Clear price anchors, not fake certainty
Public pricing should help you understand the investment range without pretending every project is identical. Scope, content volume, integrations, workflow complexity, and environment constraints all affect final price. That is why Vantus publishes anchors and ranges instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all number onto unlike work.
The expensive mistake is buying the wrong package, not seeing a high number on a page for a scope you may not even need.
Publishing control usually matters sooner than custom workflow software, which is why the middle package is the default path here.
Core packages
Three pricing anchors. Three very different problems.
Use the business problem to choose the package. Public credibility, publishing control, and workflow control are not the same purchase.

Infrastructure engineering
Infrastructure foundations
Hosting and deployment posture are commercial decisions — not invisible technical footnotes. The track you choose determines your team’s independence, your compliance exposure, and what you pay the next vendor who touches this.
Cloud-first delivery
Cloud Hosting, CDN, and Launch Stack
Managed infrastructure on hardware you never have to touch.
Delivery stack
- VPS · Hetzner / DigitalOcean / Linode
- Docker + Compose
- NGINX reverse proxy
- SSL + automated cert renewal (Let's Encrypt)
- Daily snapshot policy
What’s delivered
- Server provisioning and baseline hardening
- Containerized application deployment
- NGINX reverse proxy with SSL termination
- Automated snapshot rotation and recovery plan
- Deployment pipeline with documented rollback path
- Uptime monitoring hook and alert configuration
Right for you if
Teams that want professional, production-grade hosting without an in-house sysadmin.
Consider the alternative if
Businesses with data residency, air-gap, or strict compliance requirements — see On-Prem.
Typical range
$2,500–$8,500
View full scope + hardening detail
What we harden
SSH key enforcement, firewall rules (UFW), unattended-upgrades, fail2ban, rootless Docker, and a non-root application user. This is a real posture audit delivered in writing, not a security theater checklist.
Data handling
Encrypted-at-rest block storage. Automated snapshot retention policy. You receive root credentials and every access key at handoff — no vendor lock, no surprises later.
After handoff
You own the server. Operational runbooks mean your team — or any future vendor — can manage it without us. Vantus Care continuity contracts are available but never required.
Client-owned infrastructure
Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace Cleanup
Your hardware. Your facility. Air-gap-grade control where it actually matters.
Delivery stack
- Client-provided servers or NAS
- Proxmox / bare-metal Debian or RHEL
- NGINX + application tier
- Internal PKI · self-signed SSL
- On-site backup + offsite replication
What’s delivered
- Physical server environment assessment
- OS installation, hardening, and baseline configuration
- Application stack deployment to client hardware
- Internal DNS and certificate authority setup
- Verified local backup with offsite replication path
- Physical access documentation and runbook package
Right for you if
Healthcare, legal, financial, and industrial businesses with compliance, data residency, or air-gap requirements.
Consider the alternative if
Businesses without dedicated IT staff or an active hardware maintenance budget.
Typical range
$2,500–$12,000
View full scope + hardening detail
What we harden
Disk encryption (LUKS / BitLocker), network segmentation, SSH key enforcement, OS-level audit logging, sudoer restrictions, and application-layer least-privilege policy.
Compliance posture
We document every decision in a format your auditors can read. Scope can extend to HIPAA technical safeguard alignment, SOC 2 evidence collection, and internal penetration test coordination.
After handoff
Full operational runbooks, a disaster recovery test plan, and an incident response contact list. This is yours to operate independently — we ensure you actually can.
Workspace network refresh
Office Network and Wi-Fi Refresh
Office networking and Wi-Fi posture built to support secure operations and resiliency.
Delivery stack
- Wi-Fi design and segmentation
- Switch and access-layer review
- Firewall, VLAN, and network zoning
- Secure device onboarding
- Backup connectivity and failover planning
What’s delivered
- Office network assessment and hardening
- Secure Wi-Fi and guest network configuration
- Internal DNS, routing, and endpoint control review
- Resiliency planning for local services and remote access
- Operational documentation for IT handoff
Right for you if
Businesses with on-premise office networks, shared Wi-Fi, or local network devices that need a confidence build.
Consider the alternative if
Teams that only operate in fully cloud-hosted environments with no office network footprint.
Typical range
$7,500–$45,000
View full scope + hardening detail
Network posture
We treat office networking as an infrastructure risk surface — not a checkbox. That means segmentation, device control, and local recovery planning.
Wi-Fi security
Guest access, SSID segregation, and endpoint onboarding are documented so the environment stays operable after handoff.
After handoff
Your team gets clear diagrams, access control notes, and a practical path to maintain network hygiene without email guesswork.
Enterprise add-on modules
Strategic add-on modules
These modules stay visible, individually priced, and separately scoped — not buried inside vague custom-work language. Every need listed here is something we have been asked to solve after a project launched, when it cost significantly more to address. These exist so you can decide upfront.
ContentVS-ADD-CONT-MIGR
Content Migration and Rewrite
Your content history does not have to start over.
Typical range
$4,000–$20,000
Full scope + rationale
Migrations done badly corrupt relationships, break SEO equity, and erase years of published work. They are consistently underscoped because they seem boring — until they catastrophically fail at launch.
What’s delivered
- Source system audit and full content inventory
- Field and taxonomy mapping to the new system
- ETL pipeline construction and dry-run testing
- SEO redirect map for every migrated URL
- Data validation report and rollback checkpoint
Add this when
Add this whenever you're changing CMS, database, or domain — especially if the site has been live for more than two years.
Pairs best with
Growth & Operations Platform, Secure Control Program
Every URL left without a redirect is a broken trust signal with Google and a dead end for every customer who bookmarked your content.
GrowthVS-ADD-SEO-EXPN
Local SEO Expansion Pack
Grow into new markets without rebuilding everything.
Typical range
$3,000–$12,000
Full scope + rationale
Local SEO added after launch is expensive. Content models, URL structures, and editorial workflows need to support local markets from the start — retrofitting them breaks things that previously worked.
What’s delivered
- Local SEO audit and opportunity assessment
- Google Business Profile optimization and management
- Local schema markup implementation
- Citation building and reputation management
- Local keyword research and content strategy
Add this when
Add this when you serve or intend to serve customers in specific geographic markets, or when local visibility is critical to your business.
Pairs best with
Growth & Operations Platform
The average business loses 30% of potential customers to competitors who rank higher locally. Local SEO is the most cost-effective growth lever available.
OperationsVS-ADD-CRM-WFINT
CRM, Scheduling, or Billing Workflow Integration
Connect the systems you already paid for.
Typical range
$6,000–$25,000
Full scope + rationale
Disconnected software creates double-entry work, reporting blind spots, and handoff friction that quietly drains hours every week. Most integrations are treated as nice-to-have right up until they become urgent.
What’s delivered
- Integration architecture design (auth, data model, error paths)
- API or webhook implementation per connected system
- Data sync validation and failure notification setup
- Integration documentation for your team
- Graceful degradation path if upstream API goes down
Add this when
Add this when two systems need the same data but your team is currently re-entering it manually or running CSV exports.
Pairs best with
Secure Control Program
The average SMB loses 6+ hours per week to workflows that were almost integrated at launch. Scoping this upfront costs a fraction of what it saves in year one.
OperationsVS-ADD-EXEC-DASH
Executive Dashboard and Reporting Pack
Stop flying blind on your own business data.
Typical range
$7,000–$20,000
Full scope + rationale
Google Analytics is not a business intelligence tool. Page views don't tell you which content converts customers, which workflow step has the highest abandonment rate, or whether this pricing page is earning its weight.
What’s delivered
- Analytics instrumentation strategy and event taxonomy
- Custom dashboard design and tool implementation
- Goal and conversion event configuration
- Data export pipeline to your business reporting stack
- Onboarding session for internal stakeholders
Add this when
Add this when you're making decisions based on gut feel that should be based on data, or when your current analytics tool hasn't been touched since it was installed.
Pairs best with
Growth & Operations Platform, Secure Control Program
Businesses with correct instrumentation at launch spend 40% less on optimization work later because they know exactly what needs fixing.
SecurityVS-ADD-SEC-HARD
Security Hardening and MFA Rollout
Single identity. Auditable access. No shared passwords.
Typical range
$5,000–$18,000
Full scope + rationale
Role confusion and shared credentials are the leading cause of internal data breaches in small businesses. Access controls that look fine on day one drift into serious risk over months without active management.
What’s delivered
- SSO implementation (SAML or OIDC) against your identity provider
- Role-based access control policy design and implementation
- Privilege escalation workflow documentation
- Access audit log configuration and alerting
- Offboarding checklist and credential rotation policy
Add this when
Add this when staff turnover is frequent, when you operate in a regulated environment, or when sensitive data access has never been formally scoped.
Pairs best with
Secure Control Program
The median time to detect a credential-based breach is 197 days. This module eliminates the attack class, not just the symptom.
SecurityVS-ADD-BACKUP-REC
Backup and Recovery Kit
Business continuity you can actually rely on.
Typical range
$4,000–$16,000
Full scope + rationale
Most backup solutions are configured once and forgotten. They fail silently until disaster strikes, leaving businesses with false confidence and no recovery path.
What’s delivered
- Backup system audit and gap analysis
- Recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) definition
- Backup strategy design and implementation
- Recovery testing and validation procedures
- Monitoring and alerting for backup health
Add this when
Add this when data loss would be catastrophic to your business, or when your current backup solution has never been tested in a real recovery scenario.
Pairs best with
Secure Control Program
The average business loses 8 hours of productivity per employee annually to data recovery issues. A proper backup system pays for itself in the first incident avoided.
EnablementVS-ADD-TRAIN-UPGD
Training, Tabletop, and Handoff Upgrade
Transfer knowledge, not just code.
Typical range
$2,500–$10,000
Full scope + rationale
Projects fail when knowledge stays with the vendor. Training treated as an afterthought creates dependency, slows iteration, and leaves teams unable to maintain what they paid for.
What’s delivered
- Comprehensive knowledge transfer plan
- Hands-on training sessions for key team members
- Documentation and runbook creation
- Tabletop exercises for incident response
- Post-launch support transition plan
Add this when
Add this when your team needs to own and maintain the solution long-term, or when regulatory compliance requires documented knowledge transfer.
Pairs best with
All packages
The average business loses 40% of project value within 12 months when knowledge transfer is inadequate. Training is the highest-ROI investment you can make.
GrowthVS-ADD-REV-REPUT
Reviews and Reputation Activation
Turn satisfied customers into your best marketers.
Typical range
$1,500–$6,000
Full scope + rationale
Online reviews and reputation management are ignored until they become urgent. One bad review can cost more than the entire project budget in lost business.
What’s delivered
- Review platform setup and optimization
- Reputation monitoring and alerting system
- Review response strategy and templates
- Customer feedback collection workflow
- Reputation recovery plan for negative reviews
Add this when
Add this when customer satisfaction is critical to your business model, or when you want to leverage social proof for growth.
Pairs best with
Growth & Operations Platform
Customers are 3× more likely to trust a business with 4+ stars. Every satisfied customer who leaves a review becomes a free marketing asset.

Range logic
What pushes a project toward the higher end of the range?
Projects move up in range when they include more content types, more approvals, harder migrations, more integrations, more workflow complexity, or more infrastructure and compliance constraints. That is not sales theater. It is basic delivery reality.

Decision console
Questions that reduce sticker shock before it turns into confusion.
01Why publish ranges instead of a single number?
Because public builds are scoped projects, not commodity subscriptions. Ranges are more honest than fake flat pricing.
02Why is Growth & Operations Platform marked as recommended?
Because it is the highest-value public package for most businesses. It solves both the presentation problem and the content-control-plus-integration problem.
03Do you publish Care pricing here?
Yes. Vantus Care per-user anchors and monthly minimums are shown on this page. Full module and add-on details are published at /care/plans.
