Why these prices: international self-serve carbon software starts at roughly R18,000 to R37,000 a year without a human looking at your numbers, and vendors charge R17,000 to R140,000 extra for expert review. CDSA's tiers sit above the free foreign estimators and the subsidised sector calculators, and below a bespoke consulting engagement at day rates, because the reviewed number is the product. Renewals in later years are discounted because your boundary and factors carry over.
