How much is your intranet really costing you?
Most teams pay for a stack of separate tools around the Microsoft 365 they already own. Add up what you spend, then see it next to Athena, priced per SharePoint tenant with unlimited users.
Figures are typical list-price estimates. Adjust them to your own contracts. Per-seat tools grow with every hire; Athena is priced per SharePoint tenant with unlimited users.
Three ways separate tools quietly cost more
Microsoft 365 already includes SharePoint. Every bolt-on tool is a second bill for something your tenant can do natively.
Most point tools charge per user, so the bill grows with every hire. Athena is per tenant, so headcount does not change the price.
Athena puts the org chart, knowledge base, policies, recognition and more inside SharePoint, on one subscription, with nothing new to log in to.
How much does an intranet cost?
There is no single number, because "an intranet" is bought four very different ways. Here is what each typically costs a mid-sized team, and why the gap between them is so wide.
| Approach | Typical cost | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Per-user intranet platform | £4-8 / user / month | ~£4,800-9,600 a year at 100 users, and the bill grows with every hire. |
| Custom-built intranet (agency) | £15,000-60,000+ to build | A one-off project cost, plus ongoing maintenance and change requests. |
| A stack of point tools | £1,500-3,000+ / month | Separate org chart, wiki, policy and recognition tools: several per-user bills, several logins. |
| SharePoint-native (Athena) | £290 / month per tenant | Flat, unlimited users, inside the Microsoft 365 you already pay for. |
Ranges are typical mid-market pricing at the time of writing; verify current vendor pricing before you buy. Price your own stack with the calculator above, or see how the bundled maths works on the everything-included page.
Intranet cost questions, answered.
It depends entirely on the approach. Per-user intranet platforms typically run £4-8 per user per month, so a 100-person team pays roughly £4,800-9,600 a year and more with every hire. A custom-built intranet from an agency is usually a £15,000-60,000+ one-off plus ongoing maintenance. A stack of separate point tools (org chart, wiki, policy, recognition) commonly totals £1,500-3,000+ a month. A SharePoint-native approach like Athena is a flat £290 per month per tenant with unlimited users, because it runs inside the Microsoft 365 you already own. Ranges are typical at the time of writing; use the calculator above to price your own stack.
