Subscription or one-time: how to choose your Lumen plan
Every Lumen plan includes every module. The plans differ in how you pay and where the software runs — and those two questions have clearer answers than most people expect.
The three plans, plainly
- Subscription — PKR 10,000 / month (PKR 80,000 a year if you pay yearly). Software, cloud hosting, backups and updates included. Cancel whenever you like.
- One-time · Online — PKR 75,000 once: PKR 50,000 for the software and PKR 25,000 for installation and setup. You own the licence; hosting is optional at PKR 20,000 a year.
- One-time · Offline — PKR 75,000 once. Runs on your own machines, on your premises, with no recurring fee and no internet required.
Training (PKR 10,000) and customization (from PKR 20,000) are add-ons on any plan. Prices are before applicable taxes.
How to pick in sixty seconds
- Do you want to run servers? If no, that is the subscription, or one-time online with hosting. If you already have IT staff and machines, offline is genuinely cheaper over time.
- Must the data stay on your premises? Some businesses answer yes for policy reasons. That is offline — the trade is that cloud conveniences, such as shareable links, do not apply.
- Is your internet dependable? A shop that loses connectivity during billing hours should not be billing over the internet. Offline runs without a connection.
- Cash flow or ownership? Subscription keeps the upfront cost near zero and the software current. One-time is a single payment you own outright.
Start free, decide later
