There's a pricing plan for you
Hosting an organisation, campaign or ministerial website on a budget? We provide a range of services and pricing plans to meet your needs.
One platform, two pricing options
GovCMS has two service offerings, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
-
Managed service
GovCMS SaaS
We do the hard work, so you don’t have to. We’ll take care of security and management of the platform. All you need to do is build your website, create its content and ensure it meets GovCMS migration requirements. -
Self-managed service
GovCMS PaaS
Do you have access to an in-house team of developers? Does the management of your website require higher levels of control, customisation or flexibility? This may be the plan for you. The catch is you’ll need to do your own security updates and patching.

GovCMS sandbox development environment
You can develop your website within the GovCMS platform or externally. If you choose to develop within the GovCMS platform, you will be using the sandbox development environment.
If you develop externally, things will look different to GovCMS and take time to change once you’ve migrated across. Have you considered using our sandbox development environment?
GovCMS sandbox pricing plans
Charges for access to the GovCMS sandbox are added to SaaS and PaaS* annual plans.
| Plan | Monthly page views | Monthly fee | Setup fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 months | 20,000 | $1,000 | $0 |
| 4+ months | 20,000 | $750 | $0 |
*PaaS sandbox plans are tailored to your proposal.
