Quote Review Checklist

Use the same scope when comparing local appliance and subscription gate options.

Separate line items

Hardware, cameras, support, cloud features, installation, taxes, shipping, and renewal terms should be visible before payment.

Compare local scope

Core approved-plate checks should be compared against the same number of lanes and the same camera assumptions.

Compare Subscription Costs Before You Buy

ClavePoint packages are scoped to your site before payment. Optional support, warranty, cloud, and integration services are quoted separately when needed.
