Premium Plan Pricing
If you are still not sure about the premium plan pricing, then this support article will help you with it. Eqvista lets you know about the details right on the platform. Below are the instructions to explain the pricing of the premium plan.
Step 1: Log into your Eqvista account and select your company account.
On the dashboard, you will have to click on the “Subscription” option from the left-side list of options. Once you do this, you will reach the following page as shown below.
From the above, you will be able to see that Eqvista has two kinds of subscription plans as shared below:
As you know, Eqvista is FREE to use the application until you reach 20 shareholders. The moment the number of shareholders increases and goes above 20, you will need to switch to the premium plan. Eqvista will notify you when you are trying to add more shareholders to your company profile, in which you will reach the subscription page and subscribe to a premium plan.
Note: You will have to pay $2 for each shareholder per month that your company has (when the shareholder number is above 20). This pricing is on a pro-rata basis. This means that if you have 21 shareholders in your company for the full month, you will be paying $42 per month.
Step 2: Let us take an example to increase the number of shareholders to 40 in the company and see how it changed the amount of the price.
You will be able to see that by changing the number of shareholders to 40, the price per month changes to $80/month or $2 per shareholder.
This means that your premium plan will be based entirely on the number of shareholders you have in your company.
Note: The billing process on Eqvista is very secure and is powered by Stripe. This means that your details are secure.
PRO-RATA PRICING
The pricing for companies above 20 shareholders is on a pro-rata basis of $2 per shareholder per month. This means that if the company changes the number of shareholders, the total amount charged will be changed as well, per the number of total days with the new shareholder amount.
| Date | Shareholders | Change | Days Left | Rate | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 1st, 2020 | 25 | 25 | 30 | $2 | $50.00 |
| January 10th, 2020 | 35 | 10 | 20 | $2 | $13.33 |
| January 15th, 2020 | 40 | 5 | 15 | $2 | $5.00 |
| January 20th, 2020 | 30 | -10 | 10 | $2 | -$6.67 |
| January 25th, 2020 | 45 | 10 | 5 | $2 | $3.33 |
| Total | $65.00 |
This pro-rata pricing is best shown in an example:
Here are the movements of the number of shareholders in January 2020 for a sample company:
As you can see the company had an initial number of 25 shareholders on January 1st, 2020, in which they were charged $50 for the billing period. However, throughout the month they added and removed shareholders, causing additional charges for more shareholders, and credits for shareholders removed.
As the changes in the number of shareholders resulted in an increase of $15, this amount will be added on in the next billing period, as the payment is made once at the beginning of each billing period.
Thus, the next billing invoice would look as such:
| Next Billing Period (February 1st, 2020) | Price |
|---|---|
| Total charges for January 2020 | $65.00 |
| Paid on January 1st, 2020 | -$50 |
| Total Amount to add February 2020 | $15.00 |
| 45 Shareholders (@ $2 per shareholder) on February 1st, 2020 | $90.00 |
| Total | $105.00 |
This is an example of how the pro-rata pricing works with the number of shareholders and the billing system when adding and removing shareholders.
