SimaPro plans

Choose the suitable plan for your intended LCA use – from modern, collaborative cloud access to full scientific freedom for advanced LCA scientists.

Cloud

Business

Modern, collaborative LCA for daily business use. Best for organizations that want fast access, easy collaboration, and structured data management without installation or IT complexity.

  • Company library for consistent data use
  • Standard LCA methods for all sectors included
  • Portfolio coverage at SKU level
  • Transparent, science‑grade calculations
  • Visual, guided modelling of products and systems
  • Easy set‑up, no installation or local IT
  • Hide confidential data

Desktop

Expert

Full scientific freedom for LCA experts. Best for experienced practitioners who need complete transparency and control when adapting standard methods and modeling approaches to specific use cases.

  • Configurable, parameter‑based LCA models
  • Full transparency and control over modelling approaches
  • Unit and system libraries
  • Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis

Desktop

Power

The reference solution for LCA scientists and method developers. Best for advanced users working on complex, science-grade LCA models who need maximum freedom with higher productivity.

  • Configurable, parameter‑based LCA models
  • Full transparency and control over modelling approaches
  • Unit and system libraries
  • Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis
  • Link to Excel and SQL database
  • Hide confidential data

Discover SimaPro Enterprise

SimaPro Enterprise plan enables large organizations to embed science-based life cycle assessment into core systems and workflows, transforming sustainability strategy into automated, consistent, decision-ready action across products, portfolios, and regions.

Unit and system libraries

SimaPro cloud edition delivers detailed insights directly from unit libraries thanks to fast calculations, whereas the desktop edition relies on system libraries only for specialised scientific modelling workflows that require additional structure.

Inspect, copy, and adapt secondary database datasets (i.e. Ecoinvent, BAFU etc)

You can open datasets from secondary databases (such as ecoinvent or BAFU), inspect underlying data, copy them, and adapt them to reflect your specific product or production reality.

Ecoinvent data: Access the full Ecoinvent database

Available via market-place.

BAFU data: Access the full free BAFU database
Scientific modelling freedom
Parameterised models with formulas (engineering inputs)

Parameters can include formulas and engineering logic (e.g. dimensions, volumes, efficiencies), so the LCA model precisely reflects real products and production processes.

Create and modify processes and methods

Supports advanced customization of processes and impact methods. This functionality can be accessed in the cloud edition if required.

Advanced modelling approaches and experimentation

Supports advanced customization of processes and impact methods. This functionality can be accessed in the cloud edition if required.

Configurable, parameterised LCA models (powering portfolio coverage at SKU level)

Configurable models allow you to build one flexible LCA model that covers entire product lines.
Variations such as size, material, design parameters, or production characteristics can be configured instantly — without rebuilding the model each time.

Portfolio coverage at SKU level in Business is enabled through the same configurable, parameter‑based modelling approach used in Expert and Power.
