Pricing FAQ
Pricing model
We can accommodate custom pricing models which are determined based on the client’s business model because a hard fixed price may not work for number of widely used models. For example, these factors are taken into account:
- Number of paying end users
- Number of free end users
- Number of trials and time frame for trials
- Type of industry
Usually the price would be either a fixed monthly payment with user limits or payment per user.
