How Much Does The Predictive Index™ Cost?
We explain how Predictive Index® licences work, what’s included, and why more organisations are choosing this approach to power their people strategy.
Making the wrong hiring decisions
When hiring decisions go wrong, leaders lose time, projects slow down, and teams lose momentum. The financial impact goes beyond replacing a person. It affects delivery, morale, and progress across the business.
Research shows that 46% of new hires leave within 18 months. Most do not fail because of skill. They fail because the role, team, and person were never properly aligned.
The Predictive Index® helps prevent this. It gives leaders a structured way to define what success looks like in a role and to measure fit before the offer is made. Decisions become faster, more accurate, and more consistent across the business.
The Predictive Index® pricing
The Predictive Index® is provided through an annual licence agreement. This gives your organisation full access to the software, assessments, and leadership tools used to hire, manage, and retain your people.
You do not pay per assessment. Instead, your licence is based on company headcount and includes unlimited access to all tools and reports within the platform. This allows you to assess more candidates earlier, compare results fairly, and apply the same structure to every hiring decision. The same licence also supports your managers and teams after recruitment. You can use it to develop leaders, strengthen team performance, and address engagement challenges using the same data and framework.
With a Predictive Index® licence, every role, candidate, and team can be assessed at any point. Leaders have full visibility from the start, enabling better hiring decisions, stronger onboarding, and more effective management long after recruitment.
In a pay-per-assessment model, the price often restricts how and when assessments are used. They are usually saved until the end of the process, once a hiring decision has already formed. This opens the door to confirmation bias and reduces the value of the data.
Our pricing philosophy
Our pricing reflects the scale of access, support, and responsibility involved in delivering lasting results. Each licence is structured to match your organisation’s size and the scope of how you plan to use The Predictive Index®.
Before a licence is agreed, we outline what is included, how implementation works, and what success will look like. You know exactly what you are investing in and how it will be applied across your business.
This approach ensures every partnership is built on accountability and transparency, with measurable outcomes that support both your hiring goals and long-term people strategy.
What your PI licence includes
Your Predictive Index® licence gives you access to the full suite of tools that connect people data to business performance. Each discipline focuses on a core area of your people strategy and includes the assessments, reports, and resources needed to apply insight across your organisation.

More leaders choose a licence agreement
A licence gives leaders the freedom to apply behavioural and cognitive data across every part of their business. It removes the limits that come with pay-per-assessment models and ensures decisions are guided by evidence, not instinct.
With unlimited access, leaders can define roles, assess candidates, and support teams without constraint. Managers use the same data to lead effectively, and HR teams gain visibility across the organisation. This creates a consistent approach to hiring, management, and performance that scales naturally as the business grows.
What you can expect with The Predictive Index®
Leaders who use The Predictive Index® align hiring to measurable business outcomes. Each decision supports growth, strengthens team performance, and protects the results that define leadership success.
Define what great looks like before the search begins. Aligned decision-makers move faster, interviews stay focused, and the right candidates progress without delay.
Leverage more data to select people who perform, stay, and advance. Every hire builds value instead of creating avoidable cost.
Identify misalignment before it happens. When people fit both the role and the team, performance improves, and retention strengthens across the organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try it before committing?
Yes. Many clients begin by using trying The Behavioural Assessment followed by a Demo. This gives you a feel for how the tool works in your context and what kind of insights it provides.
How is pricing calculated?
Your licence fee is based on your company’s headcount. This keeps pricing aligned with your hiring needs and team size. You can use the assessments and tools as often as you need, without extra cost per candidate.
Can I get a detailed quote before committing?
Yes. After a short discovery call, we will send a proposal that includes licence options based on your business needs.
Do I need to pay extra for reports or manager tools?
No. All reports, interview guides, coaching tools, and support are included in the licence. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Is there a long-term commitment?
Licences are available over 1-year and 3-year cycles, which ensures you have time to use the tools fully. We review your usage and goals with you each year to make sure the setup still fits.
Can we get ROI data to justify the licence internally?
Yes. We can provide cost-saving estimates based on your average mis-hire cost, hiring volume, and time saved in your process. Many clients use this to build a business case and show the financial impact of hiring more accurately.
What’s the difference between this and paying per assessment?
With per-assessment tools, costs can quickly add up and often delay when assessments are used. The licence model gives you freedom to assess every candidate early, saving time and reducing the risk of hiring mistakes.
What happens if we don’t use the full licence?
We check in regularly to make sure you are getting value. If usage is low, we work with you to understand why and help you get more from the tools. The goal is not just access, but results.
What if we only hire a few people each year?
The licence still provides value. Many clients use it to support internal moves, coaching, team alignment, or leadership development. We will help you explore whether the cost aligns with your goals.
