Sami suits SMEs under CSRD seeking compliance; for very small voluntaries, a GHG Protocol spreadsheet suffices.
About
In practice. What you can do with Sami.
Sami (sami.eco) is a French all-in-one platform for carbon accounting and corporate decarbonisation. Pricing depends on company size and sector: roughly 900 euros a year at minimum, up to 10,000 euros a year for larger organisations, with one cited example around 7,900 euros a year for 100 people in food production.
There is no free trial. A sales call is required to obtain an accurate quote, since pricing is modular according to data volume and the features switched on.
As with the other carbon and ESG tools in the catalogue, relevance depends on a regulatory obligation (CSRD, mandatory greenhouse gas reporting) or a structured voluntary programme. A freelancer or a very small business is only concerned in rare, specific cases.
Practical uses
Produce carbon/ESG reports for CSRD audit.

When it makes sense. Keep Sami, or challenge it?
Keep if
You're a SME/mid-market with CSRD obligations (200–750 emp).
You want a French solution for ESG.
Sami becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($75) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You're very small (<50 emp) with no CSRD requirement.
You have a very limited budget.
Sami becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
