A free check, then one paid plan priced by bed spaces
8 bed spaces: £149 a month. 43 bed spaces: £446 a month. Work out yours
The readiness check is free and will stay free. Steward has every section. It is priced by bed space, so a small provider pays a small price: £149 a month for up to 10 bed spaces, then less for each one as you grow. No setup fees. No VAT is charged. Pay yearly and you get two months free. If you pay yearly and the price is over £5,000 a year, you can pay by invoice.

Founding customers: 30% off yearly payments due by 31 March 2028
The first 10 organisations to subscribe and pay yearly get the discount on every yearly payment due by then, and each of those payments covers a full year. Yearly payments due after that are at the normal price for their bed spaces at that time. In return, we show your name and logo, with a link to your website, here and on our home page. We check them first. We also ask you for a short case study (a short write-up of how you use Stedwise). If you can’t be named publicly, for example because you run a refuge, you can agree to an anonymous case study instead. You still get the founding price. You can ask us to remove your listing at any time, and you keep the price.

How bed spaces are billed
What counts as a bed space
We count how many people each home is registered for, not how many live there now. So empty rooms count. Archived addresses, homes outside England and homes that are not supported housing do not count. Each bed space is billed once, to whoever runs it day to day. A managing agent pays for the homes it manages, with no charge for each client. A housing association pays nothing for the homes its agents share with it. Overseeing agents is always free.
When you add bed spaces
We charge for the extra bed spaces straight away, for the rest of the month or year you have already paid for. Your bill follows your addresses. You never need to change plan.
When you remove them
The lower number applies from your next renewal. You get no money back for the time you have already paid for.

Notes on pricing
Prices when licensing begins
We will review prices when licensing begins. If prices change, existing customers keep their price for 12 months.
What paying does not buy
An award or a licence. The assessor and the council decide those. It also does not buy consulting or site visits: you use Stedwise yourself. Read the terms.
