You only pay when value is being created.
Installers never pay for the CSMS. Operators share margin only when drivers are billed. Developers pay for API usage — like infra should be priced.
A single project. Set sessions and miles, then see what site owner, installer, and Dynamo each earn with transparent working.
Stripe fees: charged on every paid session at 1.5% + 20p. Real, deducted up front.
Maintenance allowance: £75 per charger per year. Higher-utilisation public sites may need £100-£150.
Retail floor: the calculator cannot go below wholesale + 10p/kWh.
VAT: toggle above. UK VAT-registered operators reclaim VAT on energy and capex but charge VAT on driver payments.
Not included: grid upgrades or transformer work, insurance, accountancy, and operator support time.
Free for installers because they are our wedge — the people who touch every charger first. We would rather you commission on Dynamo than debate a licence invoice.
Banded margin for operators because we want you to grow. The fee falls as your routed MWh rises — infrastructure pricing, not a permanent tax on a small portfolio.
Per-unit for developers because that is how serious API infra is priced. You pay for connected chargers and work done on the wire — not-seat-per-month SaaS theatre.
We will give founding beta operators at least 60 days notice before any banded margin applies. During beta, Dynamo margin is 0%.
Use Free CSMS for your install base, and apply for Platform API if you need a developer surface. We will not double-charge you for the same chargers — the team aligns accounts during onboarding.
Yes at GA. Founding cohort partners get a published price lock for 12 months; volume tiers are shared when GA pricing is published.
Stripe fees pass through at cost. Dynamo margin on Operator is on routed kWh only, not a hidden markup on card fees.
Activate the CSMS. Apply for Operator or Platform when you are ready — we review weekly.
