How Billing Works

  • PagerTree charges per user per interval (monthly or yearly) basis.

  • The account is charged based on the number of .

  • All billing is prorated, and you only pay for the time the user is in your account.

  • Billing administrators can manage billing via the .

  • are reset monthly (on renewal for monthly subscriptions and the 1st of every month for annual subscriptions).

Accepted Payment Methods

  • US Bank Transfer

  • All Major Credit Cards

  • Wire Transfer (including SWIFT)

Discounts

  • We only offer discounts for annual commitments.

  • The annual commitment discount is a flat 2 months free off list price.

  • We do not offer any other discounts (this includes non-profit).

User Limits

If you would like to set a cap on the number of users that can be added to your account (to protect from unexpected bills):

  1. Scroll to the section titled "General"

  2. In the user limit field, input the maximum amount of users you would like to allow in your account.

  3. Click Update

After setting a maximum number of users for your account, PagerTree will prevent new users being added or invited to this account if the user count would exceed the configured amount.

Notification Limits

You shouldn't have to worry about notification limits if your users are primarily in the US and Canada.

Hint: If your country has high costs of SMS, consider using WhatsApp messages as an alternative.

Auto Recharge

Auto Recharge is functionality to top up your notification credits in-case your account operates in a high notification cost country. By default the auto-recharge functionality is disabled. Auto recharge is an opt-in feature.

To enable auto recharge:

  1. Scroll to the Section titled "Auto Recharge"

  2. Check the checkbox on the left of Auto Recharge

    • Auto Recharge Threshold - We will charge your primary payment method on file when your credit amount drops below this amount. (Setting this to 0 could mean some notifications are not sent if there is a problem or delay charging your payment method. We recommend setting this at least $1.00)

    • Auto Recharge Amount - We will charge this amount to your primary payment method on file (minimum $10.00).

  3. Click Update.

Billing FAQ

Question
Answer

Yes, but you you must have already started a free trial with intent to purchase.

Billing Examples

Below you will find some very simplified billing examples. All proration is handled by Stripe. PagerTree does not calculate the proration, we only report to Stripe how many users you have in your account after you add or delete a user.

Billing Example #1 (Simple)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($15/user/month)

Grand Total = 10 users x $15 user/month = $150.00 / month

Billing Example #2 (Prorated, Scale Up)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($15/user/month)

  • You add 5 users in the middle of your billing cycle, bringing the total user count to 15 users.

Grand Total = (10 users x $15 user/month x 0.5) + (5 user x $15 user/month x 0.5) = $150/month + $37.50/month = $187.50 / month

Billing Example #3 (Prorated, Scale Down)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($15/user/month)

  • You remove 5 users in the middle of your billing cycle, bringing the total user count to 5 users.

Grand Total = (5 users x $15 user/month x 0.5) + (5 user x $15 user/month x 0.5) = $75/month + $37.50/month = $112.50 / month

Billing Example #4 (Prorated, Upgrade Plan)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($15/user/month)

  • You upgrade your plan in the middle of the month to a plan that costs ($20/user/month)

Grand Total = (10 users x $15 user/month x 0.5) + (10 user x $20 user/month x 0.5) = $75/month + $100/month = $175.00 / month

Billing Example #5 (Prorated, Downgrade Plan)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($15/user/month)

  • You downgrade your plan in the middle of the month to a plan that costs ($10/user/month)

Grand Total = (10 users x $15 user/month x 0.5) + (10 user x $10 user/month x 0.5) = $75/month + $50/month = $125.00 / month

Billing Example #6 (Annual)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($150/user/year)

Grand Total = (10 users x $150 user/year) = $1,500 / year

Billing Example #7 (Annual, Prorated, Scale Up)

  • You have 10 users in your account

  • You are subscribed to a plan that costs ($150/user/year)

  • You add 10 users in the middle of your annual billing cycle, bringing the total user count to 20 users.
