Prices by size of application

One fixed price per report. Your price is the smallest size that covers both your document count and your page count. If a set is unusually heavy to read, for example mostly drawings, the app may place it in the next size up; you see this and the reason before you pay. VSCORE Ltd is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added.

How buying works

No waiting for a quote: you see the price as soon as you upload.

  1. Upload the documents

    Add the application as the council publishes it: PDFs, scans, photos, Word, Excel, or a ZIP of the lot. Tell us where the application is: not yet submitted, awaiting a decision, refused or at appeal.

  2. See your price

    Before you pay, the app only counts your documents and pages. Nothing is read by AI or a person until you pay.

  3. Pay, and every page is read

    Text, scanned reports and drawings are read and checked against each other and against the policy in force when the application was submitted.

  4. Get your report

    By email and in your account. Your report and documents are deleted on the date shown before you pay, with a deletion receipt.

Questions

Which files can I upload?

PDF (including scanned PDFs), JPG, PNG, TIFF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX) and CSV, or a ZIP containing any of these. CAD files (DWG and DXF) are not accepted; please upload drawings as PDF.

How big an application can I upload?

Up to 150 documents, 2,500 pages and 200 MB of files in one report. For anything larger, ask us for a price.

What if a file cannot be read?

Files that cannot be opened, such as password-protected or damaged files, are listed before you pay so you can replace them. Exact duplicates are read once.

How long does it take?

A Check is usually ready the same day, and always within 1 working day. You get an email when your report is ready.

What if my report cannot be completed?

We look into it the same working day. If it cannot be completed, we refund you in full to your original payment method and email you to say so.

What if I upload the wrong documents?

Check the file list before you pay. If you spot a mistake afterwards, email info@vscore.tech within 7 days of receiving your report and we will offer one re-run with the corrected documents at no extra charge, provided the new set falls in the same price band.

Can I delete my documents early?

Yes. Delete them from your account at any time and you receive a deletion receipt.

Can I use V-Score on an application that has already been refused?

Yes. Choose "Refused" when you upload and add the decision notice. The report links each point to the reasons for refusal and shows what would need to change for a new application.

Is this a substitute for a planning consultant?

No. It is a fast, thorough reading of the documents that helps you and your consultant see the problems early. Decisions on what to change remain yours.
