Zevero alternative: prices and features side by side

Carbon Recycling and Zevero both measure Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for businesses. Zevero builds expert support into every plan, on a one-year minimum, with its main plans priced by quote and a Scope 1 and 2 Lite plan from £1,500 a year. Carbon Recycling is self-serve software, billed monthly at a published £59 or £149, or £399 for groups.

Updated 3 October 2026 by the Carbon Recycling team. Prices are as each company published them on that date; tell us if one has changed and we will correct it.

Zevero is a carbon accounting platform that pairs software with climate experts. Every plan includes full Scope 3, science-based target setting and unlimited users, and it sells product footprints, decarbonisation strategy and B Corp audits as separate services. Here is a fair comparison.
