Pricing Examples
Let’s consider a few scenarios to understand how the pricing works:
Scenario 1: Your company has a total employee count of 28,000. This includes 23,000 full-time, part-time, and temporary employees, plus 5,000 agents, contractors, and consultants. Therefore, the price would be 28,000 X $USD 6.75/month X 12 months = $USD 2,268,000/year.
Scenario 2: If your company has 1,500 employees, the monthly subscription price would be $12.00 per employee. So, the annual cost would be 1,500 X $12.00/month X 12 months = $216,000/year.
Scenario 3: For a small company with 500 employees, the monthly subscription price would be $15.00 per employee. The annual cost would be 500 X $15.00/month X 12 months = $90,000/year.
