Brilliance One Founders 400

Help build what comes next. Keep the Founder advantage.

The first 400 businesses to adopt the complete Brilliance One platform can secure special Founder renewal pricing that will not be offered to future customers.

Instead of relying entirely on outside investment to accelerate Brilliance One, we are giving the businesses that believe in the platform early an opportunity to help fund its growth through adoption. In return, Founders receive a long-term pricing advantage based on when they join.

Why We Are Doing This

Customers before capital. Grow the platform with the businesses using it.

Brilliance One is being built as a complete business operating system. Continued growth requires engineering, infrastructure, security, support, integrations, testing, and development. The Founders 400 program gives our earliest customers a meaningful financial advantage while helping Brilliance One continue building without depending entirely on outside investment.

Regular Pricing

$18,703.80 / year

Approximately $1,558.65 per month when the complete platform is assembled through current standard pricing.

Five years at today's regular pricing:

$93,519.00

The Founders 400 program changes that equation by providing the complete qualifying platform for a $10,000 initial purchase and a reduced Founder renewal rate thereafter.

The Founder Offer

The complete qualifying platform. $10,000 to become a Founder.

Qualifying Founders purchase the complete Brilliance One Founder platform for $10,000 in Year 1. Beginning in Year 2, the Founder renewal is calculated using the $10,000 Founder Platform Base Rate and the Founder percentage associated with the customer's position in the first 400.

1

$10,000 Initial Purchase

Join Brilliance One through the Founders 400 program and receive the qualifying complete-platform Founder package.

2

Secure Your Founder Level

Your position among the first 400 customers determines the percentage used for future qualifying annual platform renewals.

3

Keep the Founder Advantage

Continue using the evolving Brilliance One platform while maintaining the Founder pricing level associated with your qualifying agreement.

Founder Pricing

The earlier you join, the greater the Founder advantage.

Every Founder begins with the same $10,000 initial platform purchase. Beginning in Year 2, the annual Founder renewal is based on the $10,000 Founder Platform Base Rate.

Founder Pricing Ends at 400

Customer 401 returns to regular pricing.

Founder pricing is not an ongoing promotion. Only the first 400 qualifying Brilliance One customers can receive a Founder rate. Once those positions are filled, new customers purchase Brilliance One under the regular pricing structure available at that time.

At today's regular complete-platform pricing of approximately $18,703.80 per year, five years represents approximately $93,519.00 before applicable usage-based services, third-party services, implementation, or custom development.

Pricing Perspective

Three approaches to business software.

HighLevel, HubSpot, and Brilliance One are different products built for different use cases. The comparison below is intended to illustrate publicly available pricing structures and long-term software cost rather than claim identical feature-for-feature platforms.

HighLevel Agency Pro

$497 / month

HighLevel positions Agency Pro for agencies and SaaS-oriented businesses requiring SaaS Mode, automated sub-account creation, advanced API access, rebilling capabilities, and agency-level functionality.

$5,964/year when paid monthly

Current published annual option:
$4,970/year

Five years at today's annual price:
$24,850

HighLevel includes unlimited users on its agency plans, while selected add-ons, services, communications, hosting, or usage may carry additional charges.

HubSpot Customer Platform Professional

Starts at $1,300 / month

HubSpot positions Customer Platform Professional as a suite for marketing, sales, customer service, content, and data management.

Current published starting price:
$15,600/year

Five years at today's starting price:
$78,000

The current Professional package includes 6 seats. Additional Core seats currently start at $45 per month, and additional products, usage, credits, contacts, services, or configuration may increase total cost.

Brilliance One Founder 1–50

$10,000 Initial Purchase

Complete qualifying Brilliance One Founder platform with no per-user platform pricing.

Founder renewal beginning Year 2:
$2,000/year

Five-year Founder cost:
$18,000

Designed to extend beyond CRM into accounting, inventory, purchasing, projects, scheduling, POS, CMS, documents, reporting, automation, communications, and broader business operations.

 

Different Products. Different Philosophies.

Brilliance One is being built beyond traditional CRM.

HighLevel is strongly focused on agencies, marketing automation, lead management, communications, SaaS workflows, and customer acquisition. HubSpot combines marketing, sales, service, content, and data management around its CRM platform. Brilliance One is being built as a broader CRM + ERP business operating system designed to connect customer management with accounting, products, inventory, purchasing, projects, documents, scheduling, POS, CMS, security, reporting, automation, and operational workflows.

Five-Year Perspective

Software costs compound. Founder pricing is designed differently.

Using today's published or stated pricing and assuming those prices remain unchanged for five years provides a simple way to understand how the pricing models differ.

HighLevel Agency Pro

$24,850

Five years using today's published $4,970 annual Agency Pro price.

HubSpot Professional

$78,000

Five years using today's published $1,300/month starting price, before additional seats, usage, contacts, products, services, or other charges.

Brilliance Founder 1–50

$18,000

$10,000 initial purchase plus four annual renewals of $2,000 under the first Founder level.

What Founder Pricing Includes

One business platform. More than CRM.

Founder pricing applies to the qualifying Brilliance One full-platform offering and the connected foundation that allows customer, operational, financial, content, communication, and workflow data to work together.

CRM

Accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, activities, pipelines, customer history, tasks, and relationship management.

Marketing

Campaigns, audiences, forms, lead nurturing, communications, reputation workflows, and customer engagement.

Automation

Connect communication and operational actions through workflows instead of manually repeating the same processes.

Accounting

Quotes, invoices, payments, expenses, vendors, banking activity, financial workflows, and reporting.

Products & Inventory

Products, SKUs, locations, serialized assets, quantities, movement, pricing, and operational availability.

Projects

Projects, tasks, assignments, deadlines, customer work, related records, and internal operational activity.

Scheduling

Appointments, employees, resources, capacity, events, field service, customer scheduling, and calendar workflows.

Point of Sale

Connect transactions with products, inventory, customers, payments, receipts, and operational history.

CMS & Websites

Website content, landing pages, forms, portals, knowledge resources, SEO foundations, and digital experiences.

Documents

Store and organize files, knowledge, metadata, history, access, and business relationships.

Reporting

Bring customer, sales, marketing, financial, operational, and workflow information into a connected reporting environment.

API-First Platform

Integrate external applications and services without treating Brilliance One as a closed software environment.

Founder Advantages

Early belief should have a lasting benefit.

Founder Renewal Rate

Your Founder group establishes the percentage of the Founder Platform Base Rate used for qualifying future annual platform renewals.

No Per-User Pricing

Add the people your organization needs without automatically turning every additional employee into another platform license.

Continued Platform Development

Brilliance continues engineering, improving, securing, maintaining, and expanding the shared platform.

Managed Platform

Brilliance maintains the underlying software platform rather than handing customers a codebase they must independently maintain.

Connected Modules

Expand capability without repeatedly adding separate applications, logins, integrations, databases, and disconnected business records.

A Voice During Growth

Early customers provide real-world feedback that can help shape workflows, integrations, usability, and future platform priorities.

Transparent Usage

Founder pricing covers the platform. Usage still follows usage.

Some services rely on external providers or consumption-based infrastructure. Those services remain separate from the Founder platform rate so unusually high consumption by one organization does not increase platform pricing for everyone.

SMS & MMS Communication usage may carry provider or consumption charges.
Email Delivery High-volume or provider-specific email services may be usage based.
Artificial Intelligence AI consumption may vary according to models, providers, and usage.
Storage Additional storage beyond included capacity may carry additional cost.
Third-Party Services External providers, data services, payment services, or integrations may have separate charges.
Custom Development Organization-specific engineering or implementation outside the standard platform may be separately scoped.

Important Details

Simple pricing. Clear boundaries.

Founder Platform Base Rate

Founder renewal percentages shown on this page are calculated against the $10,000 Founder Platform Base Rate unless otherwise provided in the applicable customer agreement.

Usage Is Separate

Usage-based communications, AI, storage, third-party services, payment services, external data, and similar consumption are not unlimited simply because an organization holds Founder pricing.

Custom Work Is Separate

Custom implementation, organization-specific engineering, custom integrations, data conversion, or specialized development may be separately quoted.

Founder Questions

Understand the Founders 400.

Founder pricing is intentionally limited. These are the important details businesses should understand before joining.

What is the Brilliance One Founders 400 program?

The Founders 400 is an exclusive early-adopter opportunity reserved for the first 400 qualifying organizations that join the Brilliance One ecosystem. Founders secure a locked renewal structure that remains available while the account stays active and in good standing under the Founder Agreement.

What is the Founder Platform Base Rate?

The Founder Platform Base Rate is fixed at $10,000. This benchmark figure serves as the baseline to calculate your exact annual renewal costs for the lifetime of your active subscription under your Founder Agreement.

How is my Founder renewal rate determined?

Your annual renewal cost is determined strictly by your sequence number among the first 400 customers. Renewal percentages are structured in 50-customer tiers applied to the $10,000 Founder Platform Base Rate:

  • Founders 1–50: 20% renewal ($2,000 / year)
  • Founders 51–100: 30% renewal ($3,000 / year)
  • Founders 101–150: 40% renewal ($4,000 / year)
  • Founders 151–200: 50% renewal ($5,000 / year)
  • Founders 201–250: 60% renewal ($6,000 / year)
  • Founders 251–300: 70% renewal ($7,000 / year)
  • Founders 301–350: 80% renewal ($8,000 / year)
  • Founders 351–400: 90% renewal ($9,000 / year)
Does my assigned Founder renewal percentage ever change?

No. Your assigned Founder percentage and tier are permanently locked in for your account as long as your subscription remains active and in good standing pursuant to your Founder Agreement.

What happens after the first 400 customers?

Once Founder Position #400 is claimed, the program closes permanently. Customer #401 and all subsequent accounts will onboard under our standard public platform pricing and annual subscription tiers.

What do I get for the $10,000 initial purchase?

Your $10,000 initial purchase secures Founder status, covers your first year of platform access, and unlocks the complete core Brilliance One managed application suite (including CRM, multi-channel messaging, portal framework, forms, reporting, and sequence automation). It excludes usage-based pass-through charges, third-party API fees, custom software development, and non-standard data migration services.

Is this a lifetime license or source code purchase?

No. The Founders 400 program provides managed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform access under preferential pricing terms. It is not an open-source license, on-premises download, or transfer of underlying software IP. Brilliance retains full ownership of all source code, architecture, trademarks, and intellectual property.

Can I host Brilliance One on my own servers?

No. Brilliance One is provided exclusively as a fully managed, hosted, and maintained cloud platform. We handle infrastructure security, server management, automated database backups, database isolation, and application updates so you can focus entirely on growing your business.

Are there per-user or seat fees?

No. Brilliance One does not charge traditional per-user seat fees for standard team access. You can onboard your internal staff without per-seat penalties, though external third-party tools or specialized integrations may impose their own user-based pricing.

Are current and future platform modules included?

Yes. Your Founder package includes the Brilliance One modules and platform capabilities designated as included in the Founder package at the time your Founder Agreement is executed, along with standard updates, maintenance fixes, and enhancements to those included capabilities.

Are specialty products or new add-on modules included automatically?

While core feature updates and enhancements are automatically rolled into your managed platform access, future standalone products, specialized industry-specific modules, third-party integrations, or premium add-ons outside the core platform scope may be offered under separate pricing.

Does Founder pricing cover custom development, setup, or data migration?

The initial purchase covers standard platform provisioning, workspace configuration, and core onboarding guidance. Custom engineering, bespoke API development, legacy database migrations, or specialized white-glove consulting are quoted separately based on project scope.

Are SMS, email, AI execution, or telecom costs included without limit?

No. High-volume communications (such as SMS/MMS segments, carrier fees, email broadcasts, and AI tokens/voice compute) are pass-through usage expenses billed directly based on consumption or integrated third-party provider rates.

What happens if regular Brilliance One prices increase in the future?

Your annual renewal will always remain calculated against your locked Founder Platform Base Rate ($10,000) and assigned tier percentage. Price increases applied to public retail customers will not impact your locked Founder renewal equation.

Can my Founder position be transferred or assigned if my company is sold?

Yes. Your Founder status is tied to your legal contracting entity and may be transferred to a corporate successor or acquiring entity as part of an approved business sale or merger, provided the account remains in continuous good standing.

Can I sell or trade my Founder slot independently?

Founder positions cannot be broken out and resold on a standalone basis or transferred to unverified third parties outside of an authorized corporate assignment or account transfer under the agreement terms.

What happens if I cancel my subscription and return later?

If an account is voluntarily canceled or terminated, your locked Founder position and assigned tier percentage are forfeited permanently. Returning customers will re-subscribe under the public commercial rates available at that time.

What happens if a Founder position opens up due to cancellation?

Founder sequence numbers are strictly historical and chronological. Once a position number is assigned, it will never be recycled or re-issued to a new buyer, preserving the exact numerical integrity of the original 400 positions.

Is Founder pricing available under monthly installment plans?

The $10,000 Founder purchase is due upfront upon execution of the Founder Agreement to lock in your official tier and sequence position.

Can I hold or reserve a Founder position without purchasing?

No. Founder sequence numbers are assigned strictly on a first-completed basis upon receipt of both the signed agreement and initial payment. Positions cannot be held via verbal reservations or non-binding inquiries.

How do I officially claim my Founder position?

To secure your slot, schedule a platform walkthrough with our team, review and execute the Founder 400 Agreement, and complete your initial platform purchase. Once processed, your official Founder position number (e.g., #48 of 400) and locked renewal tier will be confirmed in writing.

Can Brilliance One support HIPAA-regulated organizations?

Yes. Brilliance One can be configured for organizations that need to operate under HIPAA requirements, including appropriate access controls, audit logging, customer data isolation, authentication, and security-focused workflows. A Business Associate Agreement may be available for qualifying deployments where required.

HIPAA compliance remains a shared responsibility and also depends on the customer’s configuration, policies, workforce practices, connected services, and use of the platform.
