How we charge for verification
Isometric charges buyers directly, rather than suppliers.
Buyers pay a flat fee for verification. The verification fee is based on the size of the buyer’s order and is paid independently of the number of credits issued. Isometric cannot charge more by overcrediting. This aligns our incentives with buyers and avoids any trade-offs between Isometric’s bottom line and scientific integrity.
Our costs depend on the complexity of verification. That’s why our verification fee varies by pathway, rather than being a percentage of the cost of a credit.
*This flat price is based on an assumption that reforestation projects currently have a higher average output than other CDR pathways. This means smaller projects may not be economical at this price. Please get in touch to discuss the details of your project.
Our pricing reflects our mission to help carbon removal scale, responsibly and fast.
As suppliers scale up, Isometric’s cost to verify each tonne goes down—so we pass on these savings.
Some pathways are more complex to verify, so the starting price is higher.
At scale these cost differentials diminish, so the price points converge.
The discounts to our verification fee are based on the total number of Isometric credits issued to a supplier.
The relevant pricing tier for a supplier is set at the start of each calendar year (January 1).
Isometric’s single verification fee covers everything—including VVB costs.
No annual account fees, secondary transaction fees, or retirement fees.
