Pricing
Pricing you can actually see before you sign
Most utility bill management providers make you sit through a sales cycle before you learn what anything costs. We'd rather you know now.
Every portfolio is different, but here is where most of our customers land:
Utility bill management: $10 to $15 per meter, per month, on average.
Benchmarking compliance: $500 to $1,500 per property, as a one-time project fee.
Your exact number depends on your portfolio. We'll walk you through the quote line by line, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
How utility bill management pricing works
One number per meter. That's the whole model.
MeterID prices utility bill management per meter, per month, plus a one-time onboarding fee scoped to your portfolio. No per-component pricing that makes your invoice a puzzle — every line is quoted up front.
Where you land inside the $10 to $15 range depends on a few things:
Portfolio size
More meters generally means a lower per-meter rate.
How your bills arrive
Electronic bills from portals and email are simpler to run than paper mail across dozens of vendors.
Vendor complexity
A portfolio with 5 utility vendors is a different operation than one with 30.
Service level
Whether we're delivering validated data on your cadence, producing AP batch files, or running the full collection-to-output operation for your team.
When we quote you, we show you which of these applies to your portfolio and how it shapes the number. If your bills get simpler over time, your pricing conversation does too.
What's included
Everything in the operation. Not a menu of add-ons.
Every MeterID engagement includes:
Onboarding and implementation are scoped as a one-time fee and quoted alongside your subscription — you'll see exactly what it covers before you sign, and it's our job to get it right.
The math
What does managing bills the hard way cost you now?
Before comparing our pricing to another provider's, compare it to what you're spending today. For most multi-site teams, that includes:
Late fees
One missed due date on a commercial account often costs more than a month of MeterID for that meter.
Staff hours
Collecting bills from portals, chasing missing invoices, keying data into spreadsheets, and assembling reports adds up to real payroll every month.
Errors nobody catches
Rate misclassifications, duplicate charges, and billing anomalies slip through when no one has time to review every bill line by line.
Compliance fire drills
Scrambling to assemble 12 to 24 months of utility data when a benchmarking deadline or audit lands.
We don't promise a specific savings number, because your portfolio is yours. What we can tell you is that most customers find the subscription costs less than the late fees, staff time, and missed errors it replaces. See what that looked like in a real 42-location provider transition, or run your own numbers during the discovery call. We'll help.

Pricing questions, answered directly
How much does utility bill management cost with MeterID?
Most customers pay between $10 and $15 per meter, per month. The exact rate depends on portfolio size, how bills arrive, vendor count, and service level. Most engagements also include a one-time onboarding fee, scoped to your portfolio and quoted up front.
Are there setup or onboarding fees?
Most engagements include a one-time onboarding fee that covers account mapping, portal and credential setup, and historical data import. It's scoped to your portfolio and walked through line by line before you sign — no surprise line items later.
How does MeterID pricing compare to legacy providers?
Legacy utility bill management providers typically price per component and build their service around portfolios of hundreds of meters. MeterID prices per meter with the full operation included and every fee quoted up front, and is built for portfolios of roughly 5 to 150 locations.
What does benchmarking compliance cost?
Between $500 and $1,500 per property as a one-time project fee, depending on data availability, property complexity, and the filing requirements of the applicable ordinance. It is priced and delivered separately from utility bill management.
Does MeterID pay our utility bills?
No. MeterID collects, validates, and delivers your bill data so your team can pay on time. We make sure nothing is late, missing, or wrong before payment happens.
Is there a long-term contract?
Engagements are scoped to your portfolio. We'll cover terms in your quote, and we'll never bury anything in them that we didn't walk you through first.
Can I get a quote without a sales call?
Yes. Fill out the quote form at meterid.com/request-quote and we'll respond with a tailored quote within one business day. A call is available if you want one, and skippable if you don't.
