Commercial model / October 2026
Use the core freely. Pay for the integration work.
Stampbench separates open-source validation from professional implementation. There is no artificial licence gate around the local engine.

- Written coverage and acceptance results
- Implementation handover and one technical workshop
- 30 days of defect support for the delivered pilot scope
Discuss a pilot ↗Managed hosting, private deployments and guaranteed response times are not sold as standard services today. Any continuing work is agreed only after a successful pilot.
Questions, answered precisely.
Why pay when the core is MIT licensed?
You do not need to pay Stampbench for permission to use the library. The pilot pays for defined integration work, testing against your representative invoices, diagnostic mapping and a documented handover.
Is £3,000 a permanent list price?
It is the initial test price for a tightly bounded pilot. Scope and acceptance criteria are agreed before work starts. Wider formats, additional products or custom national rules are quoted separately.
Does a pilot certify our invoices?
No. Stampbench implements a documented subset of supported EN 16931 and XRechnung rules. The pilot supplies validation tooling and test evidence, not legal advice, certification or a guarantee of recipient acceptance.
What happens after the pilot?
There is no automatic subscription. If continuing engineering support or shared infrastructure would be useful, it is scoped only after the pilot has established what your team actually needs.
