How much does a digital asset management system cost?

Pricing for TESSA DAM varies depending on the plan you choose: Team, Business, or Enterprise. Each plan offers different features, such as storage, users, web portals, and integrations. Prices start at 500 EUR per month and increase depending on the edition you select. For more information or a consultation, we’d be happy to walk you through the software in a guided demo.

How are digital asset management prices determined?

Prices are made up of several components: number of users, storage needs, feature set, and add-on modules. We explain in detail which factors influence the price of a DAM system in our article “What Does a DAM Cost?”.

Which DAM package is right for my organization?

Which TESSA edition is right for you depends primarily on your number of users and your feature needs: Team suits small teams with core functionality, Business offers more editors, portals and AI credits for growing teams, and Enterprise is designed for large organizations with custom requirements. Feel free to get in touch for personalized advice.

Who counts as an editor – and what do readers cost?

An editor is anyone who can change content: upload, edit, move, delete, or manage portals and share links. Anyone who only searches, views and downloads is a reader – and readers are unlimited and free on every paid plan.

What is an AI credit?

Credits pay for AI actions. A background removal, relight or AI shadow costs 4 credits, a generative image enhancement 20. Similarity and semantic search cost practically nothing. So 20,000 credits cover around 5,000 background removals a month.

What happens when I reach a limit?

At 80 % of your storage you see a notice. Above the included storage you get 20 % headroom and 30 days before new uploads pause. Viewing, downloading, portals and share links always keep working. Extra editors inside the headroom cost €39 per month.

Can I add credits, storage or editors?

Yes: 5,000 credits for €59, 25,000 credits for €249 (valid for 12 months), +500 GB storage for €49 per month, extra editors for €39 per month. An onboarding day costs €1,500.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

After your contract ends, your workspace stays readable for 30 days so you can export everything. It is then closed for 60 days and can be reactivated at any time before it is deleted.

Are there fair-use rules?

Yes, for traffic, compute and very large asset counts. They protect against abuse and are not hidden costs: if your usage is unusual, we contact you first before throttling anything. Data is never deleted.
