Cost per badge activation

You only pay for live badges.

£2.25 per active badge, added to your monthly invoice. One bill, one payment, every month.

If someone leaves, you revoke their badge in the dashboard and they don't count in the next invoice. No separate charges for each activation — the whole lot bundles into your monthly subscription invoice, so it's one payment, one line on your bank statement, one number on your accounts. It aligns our revenue with the value you actually get, and keeps the admin off your desk.

Worked example — 28 active staff on Standard
Standard plan £12.99
28 badges × £2.25 £63.00
One monthly invoice £75.99

Across 28 staff that's around £2.71 per person, per month. Everything bundled — subscription, activations, card fees — on a single invoice. No long-term contract. Cancel any time.

Where we sit

Built for the gap everyone else ignores.

Identity tooling has had two shapes for years: enterprise-sized or background-check-shaped. Neither fits an SME with twenty staff and a lot of client sites.

Tool What it is Entry price Why it's wrong-shaped
Okta, Ping, Auth0 Enterprise identity platforms From £10,000+ / year Built for employee logins, not field-staff verification. Wrong primitive, wrong price.
DBS checks Background check service £23 / person (Basic) One-off background snapshot. Doesn't tell a client whether someone still works for you today.
Checkatrade, TrustMark Trade directory listings ~£100 / month Listing, not verification. Great for lead generation. Doesn't solve a client at the door.
Card printer kits DIY ID badge hardware £400–£1,500 + consumables Produces cards. Doesn't make them revocable. You still have the same paper-ID problem.
TocynID Revocable staff ID cards with live verification £5–£25 / month + £2/badge Designed for SMEs from the ground up. Flat fee. Built in Wales.
Frequently asked

Questions we hear most.

Your subscription runs until the end of the billing period you've paid for. No fees to cancel. We don't pro-rate refunds on the monthly plan, but we also don't charge you another month — so the wind-down is clean. Export your data any time from the dashboard.
Yes, any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and we pro-rate the difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. Change your mind as often as you like — no contracts.
The whole thing. Full feature set on the Standard tier for two weeks. We ask for a card at signup to keep the spam accounts out, but nothing is charged during the trial. If you cancel before day 14, your card is never billed.
Add the staff member in the dashboard, upload their photo (or send a magic link so they upload their own), then mark them active. Their badge is live as soon as you save. Active badges are metered and added to your monthly invoice at £2.25 each — one bill, one payment, no separate charges. Suspend a badge and it drops off the next invoice.
Mark them as "Left" in the dashboard. Their QR revokes instantly — any scan from that moment shows a red "no longer employed" page. For billing, we count a badge as active if it was live for any part of the billing period. This avoids nickel-and-dime pro-rating on either side.
No. If you already have a PVC card printer, we export print-ready PDF files you can run in-house. The kit bundles are there for convenience — most SMEs don't want to become a card-printing operation.
On Standard and Professional, yes. Your clients scan a QR that opens verify.yourcompany.co.uk — not our domain — with your branding. Setup is a single CNAME DNS record; we handle the SSL certificate.
