Understanding Volume Discounts

RatingFlow offers volume discounts when you purchase multiple business seats. The more seats you buy, the more you save. Here's how it works.

Volume Discount Tiers

RatingFlow has four discount tiers based on your total number of business seats:

Tier 1: 5 to 9 total seats - 10 percent discount on additional seats. Tier 2: 10 to 14 total seats - 15 percent discount on additional seats. Tier 3: 15 to 49 total seats - 20 percent discount on additional seats. Tier 4: 50 or more total seats - 25 percent discount on additional seats.

The discount applies to the per-seat price of $47 for additional seats. Your first seat is always $97, then each additional seat is $47 minus any applicable discount.

How Discounts are Calculated

The discount is based on your total number of seats, not just how many you're buying in a single transaction. This means:

If you already have seats and add more, your total count determines the discount tier. If you're buying multiple seats at once, the system looks at where you'll end up and applies the appropriate discount. Discounts are cumulative, you qualify for higher tiers as your total seat count increases.

The RatingFlow system automatically calculates which tier you qualify for and applies the discount at checkout. You don't need to do any math or request the discount manually.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Buying Your First 5 Seats. You purchase RatingFlow for the first time and buy 5 seats total. Your first seat costs $97. Seats 2 through 5 are $47 each, but you qualify for the 10 percent discount. With the 10 percent discount, seats 2 through 5 cost $42.30 each instead of $47. Total cost: $97 plus 4 times $42.30 equals $266.20 instead of $285 without the discount. You save $18.80.

Example 2: Growing from 8 to 12 Seats. You already have 8 seats. You decide to add 4 more seats, bringing your total to 12. Since 12 seats puts you in the 10 to 14 range, you qualify for the 15 percent discount. With the 15 percent discount, each of the 4 new seats costs $39.95 instead of $47. Total for 4 seats: $159.80 instead of $188. You save $28.20.

Example 3: Buying 20 Seats at Once. You're a franchise or agency starting with RatingFlow and buy 20 seats immediately. Your first seat is $97. Seats 2 through 20 are 19 seats at the 20 percent discount because your total of 20 puts you in the 15 to 49 tier. With the 20 percent discount, each additional seat costs $37.60 instead of $47. Total for 19 additional seats: $714.40. Total overall: $97 plus $714.40 equals $811.40 instead of $990 without discount. You save $178.60.

Calculating Your Savings

Here's a quick reference for the discounted per-seat price at each tier:

No discount for 1 to 4 seats: $47 per additional seat. 10 percent off for 5 to 9 seats: $42.30 per additional seat. 15 percent off for 10 to 14 seats: $39.95 per additional seat. 20 percent off for 15 to 49 seats: $37.60 per additional seat. 25 percent off for 50 plus seats: $35.25 per additional seat.

The more seats you need, the lower your effective cost per location.

When Discounts Apply

Volume discounts apply in these situations:

Bulk Purchase: When you buy multiple seats in a single transaction and your total qualifies for a discount tier.

Adding to Existing Seats: When you already have seats and purchase more, reaching a new discount tier.

Crossing Tier Thresholds: When your purchase pushes you from one tier into a higher discount tier.

The discount is automatically applied at checkout. You'll see the discounted price clearly displayed before you complete payment.

Retroactive Discounts

Important: Volume discounts are not retroactive. If you bought seats before qualifying for a discount, you don't get refunded the difference when you later reach a discount tier.

For example, if you bought 3 seats at full price, then later bought 2 more to reach 5 total, only those 2 new seats get the 10 percent discount. The first 3 seats were purchased before you qualified for any discount.

This is why it can be advantageous to estimate your total seat needs and purchase them together if possible, rather than buying one at a time.

Planning Your Purchase

To maximize your savings:

Count how many locations or businesses you need to manage now and in the near future. If you're close to a discount threshold, consider buying enough seats to reach it. For example, if you need 4 seats now and might need 2 more within six months, buying all 6 at once saves money. Compare the total cost with and without discounts to make an informed decision.

However, only buy what you actually need. Seats never expire, so there's no rush if you're not sure about future expansion.

Enterprise and Franchise Discounts

If you need 50 or more seats, you automatically qualify for the maximum 25 percent discount. For very large deployments of 100 plus seats or special enterprise requirements, contact our sales team. We can discuss:

Custom pricing beyond the standard discount tiers. Bulk invoicing and payment arrangements. White-label options for agencies. Dedicated support and onboarding assistance. Custom integrations or features for large organizations.

Enterprise customers often have unique needs, and we're happy to work with you to create a solution that fits.

Viewing Your Discount

When you're in the checkout process for additional seats, the system shows:

The number of seats you're purchasing. The standard price per seat. The discount percentage you qualify for. The discounted price per seat. The total cost with discount applied. The amount you're saving.

Review this carefully before completing your purchase to ensure the discount is applied correctly.
