## From the vendor

Gradient is a billing reconciliation platform from Gradient MSP for managed service providers. It pulls billing and licence data from an MSP's vendors and distributors and reconciles it automatically against what each client is actually being charged, flagging seats or licences a client is paying for but not using, and gaps where usage has grown past what is currently billed. It suits MSPs running several vendor relationships and distributor accounts who currently reconcile billing by hand in spreadsheets each month, a process prone to under-billing as client environments change between invoices and administrative overhead that grows with each new vendor relationship. Pricing is published and starts at $299 per month USD for the Launch tier (covering 0 to 150 customers), $699 per month for the Grow tier (151 to 500 customers), and $999 per month for the Scale tier (500 or more customers), charged as a flat monthly rate, with optional add-ons for Microsoft billing import and ExpandIQ business intelligence (checked September 2026). Gradient integrates with major PSA platforms including Autotask, ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Pulseway and Syncro, with cloud distributors including Pax8, Ingram Micro and Sherweb, with over 100 third-party vendors across backup, security, monitoring and infrastructure categories, and with Microsoft partner billing data, supporting 80 or more integrations across these categories. The reporting features in Gradient are also used by some MSPs beyond simple reconciliation, to support licence utilisation conversations in quarterly business reviews with clients, providing a data-driven way to discuss software spending. MSPs evaluating Gradient should confirm which of their specific vendor and distributor relationships are actually supported in the integration library before assuming full coverage, since reconciliation is only as complete as the integrations that feed it. They should also weigh the published monthly subscription cost against the current staff time spent on manual billing reconciliation to determine if the tool pays for itself.

This adds value beyond the core reconciliation feature for conversation and retention.

### Does Gradient replace all manual billing reconciliation?

Gradient is designed to automate reconciliation that MSPs currently do by hand in spreadsheets, but its effectiveness depends entirely on which vendors and distributors are supported in its integration library. MSPs should weigh the monthly subscription cost against their current staff time spent on manual reconciliation, and confirm their specific vendors are integrated, before assuming Gradient removes all manual checking.
