What the product covers
The full Thought Machine feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Multi entity and multi currency
- Product versioning and testing
- Configurable posting rules
People bring Thought Machine in for a large bank launching a separate digital brand on a clean core rather than migrating the back book, a bank whose product launches are blocked by vendor change requests on a legacy core, an institution needing real time balances and postings for instant payment obligations, a group consolidating multiple country cores onto one multi entity platform. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Thought Machine are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Thought Machine
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Thought Machine against the tools that do have one before committing.
Thought Machine runs on web, api, cloud, and is published by Thought Machine of London, United Kingdom. The full record is on the Thought Machine review, and the rest of the category is under best technology tools.
