HearthRC Defense · Pricing

Start with one client. Expand when the workflow earns its place.

Use the full HearthRC Defense workflow for one client at $449, or give the firm 10 annual engagements for $1,399. Start small if you want to prove the fit first: upgrade within 60 days and the full $449 applies toward Firm.

Two ways to start

Pay for one immediate need or give the firm annual RC capacity.

Both paths use the core HearthRC Defense engagement. Choose based on how much repeat work you expect—not because one client receives a lower-quality analysis.

At four engagements, Firm is $397 lower on plan price alone and still includes six additional engagements for the year.

Pricing questions, answered plainly

Know how the two starting points fit together before you buy.

Can I buy only one engagement?

Yes. One Client is $449 and does not require an annual subscription.

Is One Client a reduced version of the core engagement?

No. One Client uses the full HearthRC Defense client engagement workflow. Firm changes the annual volume and repeat-use workflow around the practice rather than the quality of the core client analysis.

What happens if I upgrade?

Upgrade within 60 days and the full $449 applies toward the $1,399 Firm plan. You pay $950 more.

Does the original client count toward the 10?

Yes. The original engagement becomes engagement 1 of the 10 included in the Firm year, leaving 9 remaining.

At what point does Firm cost less than individual purchases?

Four individual engagements cost $1,796. Firm is $1,399, so the annual plan is $397 lower at that point and still includes 6 additional engagements for the year.

What if the firm expects more than 10 engagements?

If your firm expects more than 10 annual engagements, talk with Hearth about higher-volume options. The public $1,399 Firm price should not be treated as the complete cost for volume above the 10 included engagements.
