OpenRegulatory changed Formwork’s prices in March 2025.1 Two plans moved in opposite directions.
QMS + Techdoc: 799 € to 499 €
Before the change, QMS + Techdoc was listed at 799 € a month, and a startup discount brought it down to 499 €.1 In September 2024 the vendor described the condition: 499 € a month if it could show the customer’s logo on its website, otherwise 799 €.2 Since March 2025 the plan costs 499 € a month for everyone, with unlimited user seats.13
Starter: 49 € to 99 €
The old Starter plan cost 49 € a month. It included all features but was only open to startups with three or fewer employees, no funding and no revenue.2 The new Starter plan costs 99 € a month. It is open to every company, but it is limited to 5 user seats and can’t release product documentation.3 The vendor’s own note calls the new tier “more expensive”, but says “you can get this tier regardless of your company situation”.4
The April 2025 price list also shows the free Community Edition limited to 5 user seats.3 We found no statement on whether existing customers kept their old prices.
What it means for buyers
Both prices were unchanged in October 2026: 499 € and 99 € a month plus VAT.5 A team of more than 5 people needs QMS + Techdoc, because the other tiers stop at 5 users.5 Our Formwork review explains what each plan includes and notes that the terms put no cap on renewal increases.
