Pricing to suit you.

Our pricing plans are usage-based- you can choose between:‘Starter’- £0 license fee + commission* (up to 30 verifications per calendar month) or ‘Growth’ (up to 100 verifications per calendar month) £99 monthly license fee +commission*

‍

*Commission is dependant on whether you’re part of an approved affiliate network. 

‍

For brands part of an affiliate network, commission is tracked via your affiliate network (CPA). Brands on our Starter plan are charged 10% commission on all verified transactions and brands on our Growth plan are charged 8% on all verified transactions.

‍

Alternatively, for brands not part of an affiliate network, commission is based on number of verifications per monthly billing cycle (CPV). 

‍

Brands on our Starter plan are charged £1 per verification for the first 30 then charged £1.50 per extra verification. 

‍

Brands on our Growth plan are charged £0.50 per verification for the first 100 then charged £1 per extra verification.

At the end of  sign-up, you will need to add a payment card via Stripe. 

‍

For brands on our CPA pricing model, applicable license fees and any overages incurred will be paid directly to Pion via Stripe. Commission will be tracked and paid via your approved affiliate network.

‍
For brands on our CPV pricing model, applicable license fees, overages and commission will all be paid directly to Pion via Stripe.

‍

Payments are charged via Stripe once per monthly billing cycle for the previous month’s activity. 

A ‘verification’ occurs when a user verifies their status to redeem an offer. An individual can verify their status multiple times per monthly billing cycle to redeem an offer but will only count as one verification. 

If you’re on our Starter plan and exceed over 30 verifications within your monthly billing cycle, you will be charged £1.50 per extra verification.

‍

If you’re on our Growth plan and exceed over 100 verifications within your monthly billing cycle, you will be charged £1 per extra verification.

‍

Alternatively, you can upgrade to the next plan at any time by emailing support@wearepion.com to avoid incurring overages.

Currently, we do not have the functionality to place a cap on the number of verifications per month. However, you can choose to upgrade your plan at any time by emailing support@wearepion.com
