If your business makes outbound sales or marketing calls, understanding the true cost of TPS checking can be confusing.
Do you need to buy a full annual TPS licence? Do you also need CTPS access? How many checks will your team actually use? And are there additional royalty charges on top?
To make this much clearer, Selectabase has launched a new online TPS Checking Cost Calculator.
The calculator helps businesses estimate how many checks they are likely to need based on their actual calling activity, then compares that against the cost of purchasing TPS and CTPS licences directly.
How much does TPS checking cost?
A direct annual TPS and CTPS licence can cost up to £3,300 + VAT.
For some very high-volume organisations, buying licences directly may make sense.
But many businesses only need a fraction of that level of access.
With Selectabase EasyCheck, you can simply purchase the number of checks your business needs.
Current packages include:
- 2,000 checks – £29
- 5,000 checks – £49
- 10,000 checks – £79
- 25,000 checks – £149
- 50,000 checks – £199
- 100,000 checks – £249
- 250,000 checks – £499
- 500,000 checks – £649
- 1 million checks – £899
So, for example, a business needing around 10,000 checks could pay £79 rather than up to £3,300 + VAT for direct annual TPS and CTPS licences.
That is a potential difference of more than £3,200.
How does the new TPS cost calculator work?
The calculator asks three simple questions:
- How many people make outbound calls?
- How many calls does each person make per day?
- Are you calling consumers or businesses?
It then estimates your likely monthly checking requirement and recommends a suitable credit package.
This makes it much easier to understand your real TPS checking costs rather than paying for more access than you actually need.

How often should businesses check TPS and CTPS?
TPS and CTPS checking should not be treated as a one-off exercise.
Telephone numbers can be added to the registers at any time, so businesses running ongoing outbound marketing should regularly re-screen their calling data.
A 28-day screening cycle is important, particularly where businesses are continuing to use the same prospect or customer calling lists.
That makes the cost of regular TPS checking even more important.
If you are screening data every 28 days, using a low-cost TPS checking provider may be considerably more economical than purchasing full annual licences directly.
How do TPS royalty costs work?
Another area that can make TPS checking costs difficult to compare is royalty charges.
Depending on the provider, TPS or CTPS royalty fees may be charged separately from the advertised cost of the checking service.
Selectabase includes applicable royalty costs within the price we quote.
That means:
- No unexpected royalty charges
- No separate monthly royalty invoices
- No hidden additional screening fees
- One clear price for your checking package
So when comparing TPS checking providers, it is important to compare the total cost – not simply the advertised cost per check.
