How much does software for a small town hall cost?
Updated 2 September 2026
In brief
- €1 ex VAT per inhabitant per year: Viculus pricing for communes under 500 or 1,000 inhabitants.
- 200 people ≈ €200 per year; 400 people ≈ €400 — cost follows village size, not an opaque flat licence.
- Administrative mandate annual payment through the usual public-sector channel — no council credit card subscription.
Municipal software pricing should be understandable in one sentence at council. For a village, the question is not only “how much” but “how much per inhabitant” and “for what exactly”.
What do classic tools cost?
Suites for mid-size or large communes often exceed several thousand euros per year, with optional modules and setup fees.
A 250-person commune then pays disproportionately for unused features. A population-proportional model avoids that mismatch.
The Viculus model
Viculus charges €1 ex VAT per inhabitant per year. A 318-person commune pays €318; an 87-person commune pays €87. Scope covers the territory map (addresses, hamlets, cadastre) and the village register.
The rate is published on viculus.fr — no quote required to learn the base price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Viculus cost for 350 inhabitants?
€350 ex VAT per year (350 × €1). The amount follows municipal population; council sees a readable budget without mid-year surprises on the base rate.
Are there hidden fees or paid modules?
Viculus shows one price: €1 per inhabitant per year for the map and village register. No promise of unreleased modules. Product updates are included in the annual model.
How does the council pay?
Via annual administrative mandate, like other public services. No card payment from the home page: sign-up or demo request, then contracting with the commune.
Can a commune over 1,000 inhabitants sign up?
The home targets under 500 or 1,000 inhabitants: above that, the form shows a warning but the request remains possible. Viculus is still village-focused.
Does it replace other budget lines?
Viculus does not replace civil registry or accounting. It can reduce time spent rebuilding address or hamlet lists by hand — an organisational gain rather than an ERP replacement.
