Current official pricing

How does the per-seat model scale?

The Business plan is a per-person commitment. At $250 per seat, your total cost scales linearly with your team size. This makes it straightforward to forecast spend based on headcount growth, provided you account for the annual billing cycle.

What are the tax and billing implications?

The advertised prices assume a yearly commitment. While this saves 16% over the standard rate, it requires the full $180 or $250 per-seat payment upfront. Finance departments should also budget for additional costs above these base rates, as taxes are calculated separately.

To determine if this investment is yielding a return, compare the time spent on design tasks before and after adoption. Use NetLift to measure hours saved per seat against the $250 annual cost. If the speed of content production reduces labor hours by more than the subscription cost, you have a clear evidence-based case for renewal.
