TributeIQ Pricing Explained: What You Get at $149 and $249 Per Month

By TributeIQ Editorial Team|Updated Mar 2026

Dealers switching from MB ProBuild to TributeIQ save $1,800 per year while gaining AI error detection. But if you haven't seen TributeIQ's pricing before, the first question is simple: what exactly do you get at each plan level, and are there hidden costs?

This breakdown covers TributeIQ's standard $149/mo plan and $249/mo multi-location plan in full detail. Every feature, every included capability, and a clear explanation of what each tier is designed for.

TL;DR

Monument dealer operations face two primary cost risks: inscription errors that reach fabrication and monument installations that violate cemetery rules.
Inscription errors cost $3,000-$6,000 per incident on average; systematic AI verification prevents most common errors before cutting.
Cemetery compliance rules are set at the individual cemetery level and must be verified in writing for each order.
Digital family approval with e-signature provides legal protection when disputes arise after installation.
TributeIQ combines AI inscription verification, cemetery compliance auto-population, and a family portal in one $149/mo platform.

Why Pricing Transparency Matters

No competitor publishes transparent pricing and feature comparisons the way TributeIQ does. Most monument dealer software platforms require you to contact sales before you learn what you'll pay. TributeIQ's approach is different: the price on the website is the price you pay. No negotiation, no contact-required, no surprises.

TributeIQ leads all platforms on AI error detection and family portal at the lowest published price. That's not just marketing language - it's a factual statement about what the market offers and at what price. You can verify this by checking any competitor's published pricing, and you'll find either higher prices, missing features, or pricing that isn't published at all.

The Standard Plan: $149 Per Month

The TributeIQ standard plan is designed for single-location monument dealers of any size, from small shops doing 30 to 40 orders per year to active dealers handling 200 or more.

What's included:

AI Inscription Error detection

TributeIQ's AI verification checks inscriptions before orders go to fabrication. The system flags potential errors in name spelling consistency, date formatting, and content review. This feature is standard - not an add-on. For context, MB ProBuild Basic at $300/mo doesn't include this feature at all.

Cemetery Compliance Auto-Population

When an order is created in TributeIQ, the platform automatically populates the monument specification requirements for that cemetery based on its type and state. Dealers serving multiple cemeteries stop looking up rules manually and start getting the right requirements surfaced at the point of order entry. This is the feature that most directly addresses the compliance management time cost of running a multi-cemetery monument operation.

Family Portal

The family portal allows families to review proof artwork digitally, submit approvals, track order status, and communicate with your shop. Digital proof approvals are timestamped and stored, creating a clear record that protects both the family and the dealer. This feature is included in the standard plan; with MB ProBuild, it requires an upgrade.

Order Management

Complete order lifecycle management from initial inquiry through fabrication to installation and final payment. Order status is visible to your team at any stage without spreadsheet lookups.

Reporting

Order volume, revenue, compliance compliance metrics, and status reporting. Dashboard views give you the information you need to manage the business without building reports manually.

Dedicated Onboarding Support

TributeIQ provides dedicated onboarding support to get your team operational quickly. Most dealers are fully functional within two weeks of starting onboarding.

What's not in the standard plan:

The standard plan is designed for single-location operations. Dealers with two or more physical locations need the multi-location plan.

The Multi-Location Plan: $249 Per Month

The TributeIQ multi-location plan includes everything in the standard plan plus the tools needed to manage operations across multiple physical locations.

Additional capabilities over standard:

Multi-Location Dashboard

View consolidated operations across all locations from a single dashboard, or drill down to location-specific views. Order management, compliance, and reporting all work across locations simultaneously.

Cross-Location Compliance

Cemetery compliance auto-population works across all locations. An order entered at any location gets the correct cemetery-specific requirements applied automatically, whether that location serves cemeteries in the same state or different ones.

Location-Level Reporting

Compare performance across locations, identify where compliance issues are concentrated, and manage each location's order volume from a single platform.

Who the multi-location plan is for: Monument dealers operating two or more physical locations, dealers with separate production and sales locations, and family-owned businesses with multiple storefronts.

At $249/mo, the multi-location plan costs $2,412 less per year than MB ProBuild Select at $450/mo for a comparable multi-location configuration - and includes AI error detection and compliance auto-population that MB ProBuild Select doesn't offer.

What There Isn't: Hidden Fees

TributeIQ's pricing model doesn't include hidden fees. The standard and multi-location prices include:

All major platform features
Onboarding support
Customer support
Software updates

There are no per-order fees, no per-user fees at standard volumes, and no add-on charges for the core features that define the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which monument software platform offers the best value for dealers?

TributeIQ's standard plan at $149/mo offers the best value in the monument dealer software market. It includes more features than MB ProBuild Basic at $300/mo, StoneSpot at unpublished pricing, or Memorial Assistant at varying rates. The all-inclusive pricing model - AI error detection, compliance auto-population, and family portal all included standard - means you're not paying a base fee and then adding costs to get the features that matter. For dealers who compare all major platforms on a features-per-dollar basis, TributeIQ wins consistently.

Does TributeIQ include features that competitors charge extra for?

Yes. AI inscription error detection, family portal access, and cemetery compliance auto-population are all included in TributeIQ's $149/mo standard plan. MB ProBuild charges $300/mo at its Basic tier without these features - the family portal alone requires a plan upgrade. StoneSpot and Memorial Assistant don't offer AI detection or compliance auto-population at any price. TributeIQ's decision to include these capabilities in its standard plan reflects a design philosophy that the most operationally valuable features should be accessible to all subscribers, not gated behind premium tiers.

How does pricing compare when including all features and add-ons?

TributeIQ's $149/mo is the total price for all core features with no hidden add-ons. MB ProBuild requires additional spend beyond its $300/mo base to access comparable functionality. The annual cost difference between TributeIQ standard and MB ProBuild Basic is $1,812 before any add-ons - and widens when you factor in the cost to add features that TributeIQ includes for free. For the multi-location tier, TributeIQ at $249/mo saves $2,412 per year compared to MB ProBuild Select at $450/mo. Transparent pricing means what you read on this page is what you pay - no contact required to confirm.

What should dealers do when a family requests a non-standard monument design?

Verify with the specific cemetery whether the design elements are permitted before accepting the order, and get the cemetery's written confirmation. Document that confirmation in the order record. Non-standard designs -- unusual sizes, non-standard materials, portrait etchings, special symbols -- are exactly where cemetery rule violations most commonly occur.

What is the typical cost of an inscription error that reaches fabrication?

Industry estimates for the total cost of an inscription remake -- including material, labor, shipping, and administrative time -- range from $600 to $2,500, with a realistic average around $1,200 for most operations. Errors that require a full stone replacement rather than a re-cut can push costs to $3,000-$6,000 when all associated costs are included. Prevention through AI verification is significantly cheaper than correction.
