Partner Tiers
| Tier | Licenses | Discount | Pro Price | Max Price | White-Label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 10 – 99 | 30% | $62.30/yr | $118.30/yr | No |
| Silver | 100 – 249 | 40% | $53.40/yr | $101.40/yr | No |
| Gold | 250 – 499 | 50% | $44.50/yr | $84.50/yr | No |
| Enterprise | 500+ | 60% | $35.60/yr | $67.60/yr | Yes |
Your tier is determined by your total license pool across all plans (including assigned and available licenses). Pro and Max licenses are combined when calculating your tier. For example, 80 Pro + 30 Max = 110 total → Silver tier (40% off on all future purchases). Purchasing additional licenses may upgrade your tier automatically.
