Subscription billing overview

Bonusly subscription cost is determined by:

  • Plan type (Bonusly Connect or Custom Plan)

  • Billing frequency

  • User count

  • Seats

Subscriptions

When you subscribe to our service, Bonusly bills you annually, starting from the first day of your service term. If you decide to increase the number of seats (users) during your subscription, Bonusly prorates the additional charges for these extra seats. This means you're only charged for the portion of the year these extra seats are active. These prorated charges are billed every three months, on the last day of the month, starting from the date you first subscribed.

True-Up Invoices:

If, at any point during your subscription, the number of users you have exceeds the seats you've paid for, you'll receive a "true-up" invoice. This invoice will include prorated charges for the additional users for the remainder of your subscription. Essentially, Bonusly will charge you for the extra users for the time left on your subscription.


For annual accounts, ā€œSubscription settingsā€ will show:

  1. Subscription tier and term

  2. User count - Number of users in your account

  3. Seats - Number of Bonusly licenses purchased for the current term

  4. Next true-up date- If additional seats are required to support an increase in user count, Bonusly will invoice you on this date.

  5. Subscription renewal date


Pro Tip: To see if Bonusly will charge you for additional seats on your next invoice, compare the user count and seats in the ā€œSubscription settingsā€ card on the Plans & billing page. You have until the next true-up date to remove additional users from your account; otherwise, charges will apply for additional seats.


Monthly subscription billing involves a per-user premium. Bonusly bases these charges on the user count or minimum quantity (whichever is greater) Ɨ monthly price per unit (seat).
