What Drives the Cost of a FileMaker License

We quote rather than publish a price list, because five variables move the number more than any headline rate does — and three of them are yours to choose.
User Count

Per-user rates step down at volume thresholds, while a site license may make more sense as usage grows. We’ll help you compare both and choose the right fit.

Length

Committing to 24 or 36 months prices lower per year than renewing annually, and fixes your rate against list-price increases.

Hosting Options

Self-hosting, Claris hosting, or Fullcity hosting — we’ll help you choose based on your team, infrastructure, and needs.

Sector

Nonprofit, education, and government buyers qualify for discounted licensing. It's worth confirming eligibility before you quote anything at list.

Timing

Adding users mid-term

is prorated. Buying just before a renewal, or letting a licence lapse and repurchasing, are usually the two most expensive paths.

WHY FULLCITY

We help you get the most from your licenses

The goal isn’t to sell you more seats. It’s to make sure you have the right ones. We review your licensing annually to help you stay compliant, optimize your setup, and avoid paying for seats you no longer need.

Legacy versions handled properly

Still on FileMaker 19 or earlier? There's usually a cheaper route forward than buying new, and a migration plan that goes with it.

Licensing is part of the bigger picture

We look at licensing in the context of the bigger picture. Your FileMaker environment, services, support, and future plans all matter when we make recommendations. Because we’re looking at the relationship as a whole, we can help you make decisions that make sense for your business today and as it grows.

We look at the whole relationship

Licensing, services, and support are all part of the same relationship. We look at the bigger picture when we recommend and price your licensing, so the overall investment makes sense for your business.
