The cheapest thing about your PCI budget

Ankos isn't what's driving your compliance costs. Here's what actually is.

QSA Assessment Fees
$50–150K

Per annual PCI DSS assessment. Higher for Level 1 merchants and complex environments.

Engineering Effort
200–400 hrs

Spread across engineering, security, and ops each cycle. Call it $30–60K in loaded labor.

Ankos Team Plan
$3,588/yr

Pays for itself if it saves a single billable day of engineering per year.

60 Days

Full access to the Team plan for two months. Decide after.

Questions

Pricing FAQ

Are there per-user charges?
No. The Team plan is a flat fee per organization, not per user. Your $299/month covers up to 10 team members with no additional per-seat charges.
What happens after the free trial?
After 60 days, you keep read-only access to your historical ledger data. No new uploads or cycle creation on the free plan. The CLI continues working locally with no limitations — unlimited scans, terminal and JSON output, remediation guidance. Upgrade to Team anytime to resume full ledger access.
Can I change plans?
Yes, you can upgrade or change your plan at any time. Changes take effect immediately and billing is prorated.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
The 60-day free trial is our guarantee. You get full access to every Team feature for two months before paying anything. No credit card required to start.
Can I use Ankos for multiple organizations?
Each organization needs its own subscription. If you manage PCI compliance for multiple entities, each one would have a separate Team plan with its own compliance ledger and evidence history.
What's included in Enterprise?
Everything in Team, with unlimited team members, annual contract and invoice billing, and procurement/security-review support. Enterprise is also where we work with a small number of customers as design partners — if your PCI program needs something specific (SSO, SIEM export, multi-entity rollups, and the like), talk to us and we'll scope it together.
Do you partner with QSA firms?
Yes — and we're actively recruiting our launch partners right now. The early QSA firms who help shape Ankos's export and assessment workflows get preferred commercial terms, reference status, and inclusion in client lead-routing as our marketing pipeline grows. The partner experience itself — branded share pages, onboarding for your client engagements — is something we're building alongside these first firms, so you help define it. Email partners@ankos.dev to start a conversation.
Do you offer nonprofit or special pricing?
We evaluate nonprofit and special pricing requests on a case-by-case basis. Contact us and we'll work something out.
