SMEPro Technologies sells consultatively. The IOS+ Middleware Engine deploys differently depending on your security posture, infrastructure team, and regulatory framework — and the right price is the one negotiated against the deployment that actually fits. Below are the four tiers and what each one includes. Call us, and we'll size the engagement that's right for your environment.
The same IOS+ Middleware Engine, deployed four different ways. The right tier depends on where your data lives, what your security team requires, and how your governance auditors evaluate evidence.
SMEPro's pricing is structured across three core commercial layers, allowing organizations to pay for the exact horizontal substrate scale and vertical solutions they require.
An annual platform license for the horizontal IOS+ Middleware Substrate. Grants access to the core zero-trust AI proxy, deterministic Layer 5 gating sidecars, and high-performance pgvector/Redis RAG caching layers.
Volume-based utility pricing scaled per 10k signed evidence packages committed to the append-only PostgreSQL WORM database. Provides immutable liability protection and continuous compliance audit trails.
Flat-fee premium add-ons for vertical-specific configurations. Includes pre-loaded regulatory frameworks (e.g. Upstream Oil & Gas UCO packs for Reporter), administrative user interfaces (e.g. React dashboard for Reporter IOS+), or educational crosswalk filters (EDU Reporter).
Scales based on your operational environment (On-Premise, Managed SaaS, VPC Hybrid, or Air-Gapped/Classified SCIF deployments) and service-level support requirements (such as 24/7 coverage or classified-cleared support teams).
Every tier ships the complete six-gate YBR pipeline, the Compliance OS, and the Universal Decoding Matrix. There is no "starter" Engine — the architecture is the architecture.
Gate 560 produces a sealed receipt for every cleared action. WORM evidence ledger. Notified-body-compatible technical documentation by construction. Every tier.
331 regulatory nodes, five jurisdictional authority layers. EU AI Act, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, GDPR, HIPAA, sector-specific directives — all first-class entities. Every tier.
The evidence ledger belongs to the customer. Whether deployed on-prem, hybrid, or in our SaaS, the customer retains ownership and export rights to the cryptographic receipts.
Every deployment inherits the full patent-pending architecture. Customers operate under the SMEPro license to use the patented inventions for their internal governance needs.
Founder-accessible support for architecture questions. Strategic customers and partners have a standing channel to the inventor. Every tier.
SMEPro Technologies is a consultative sales business. That's deliberate — but it also means there are things you won't find here that you might find at other vendors.
You can't swipe a credit card and provision IOS+ Middleware. Every deployment is sized, contracted, and supported. That's a feature of the GTM, not a bug.
The architecture is too operationally serious for a hobbyist tier. If you need to evaluate IOS+, we'll run a paid proof-of-concept against your real data — that's the right way to evaluate substrate-grade infrastructure.
Pricing is structured around governed actions and deployment tier — not against the documents being processed. The right pricing question is "how much governance, deployed where" not "how many PDFs."
