## Plans and prices
|
||
|
||
Prices are in Australian dollars before tax, from `PRICES` and `PLANS` in `lib/plan.ts`.
|
||
|
||
| Plan | Price | Staff records | Backups kept |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Hosted Small | Free | 60 | 14 days |
|
||
| Hosted Facility | $129 a month or $1,290 a year | No ceiling | 35 days |
|
||
| Health Service | $4,990 a year for 5 facilities, $890 each extra | No ceiling | 35 days |
|
||
|
||
On Hosted Small the 60 counts every staff record, deactivated ones included. Past it, adding a person is refused with `The register is full for this plan — 60 staff records.`
|
||
|
||
A facility inside a health service takes that plan, shows a `Health service` row, and is invoiced yearly against the health service's purchase order.
|
||
|
||
A facility created before plans went live is grandfathered. Its status reads `Free · everything included, for good`, and there is nothing to buy.
|
||
|
||
`Plan` is the last item in the `Settings` side list. It is listed for admins only, and not in the demo. The Community edition has no plans.
|
||
|
||
## The trial
|
||
|
||
When you create a facility, choose Hosted Small, or a 30-day Hosted Facility trial. Neither takes a card. During the trial the status reads `Trial` with the days left.
|
||
|
||
## Pay by invoice or card
|
||
|
||
`Request an invoice` sends ThreadCount a notice naming your facility and the plan chosen: `Hosted Facility · annual` or `Health Service · annual`. ThreadCount raises the invoice to the `Billing contact` and records the payment. You can ask up to 3 times a day. A renewal is requested the same way.
|
||
|
||
`Subscribe by card` appears only when card payments are set up on the server, and not while the plan is paid. It opens `Subscribe`, a page in four steps for Hosted Facility:
|
||
|
||
1. **Plan.** Monthly $129 or yearly $1,290.
|
||
2. **Business.** Legal name, address, city and country are required, and so is the postcode, except in Ireland, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates and Macao. Tax ID is optional. `Billing email` is your billing contact and cannot be edited here.
|
||
3. **Agreements.** Tick the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Service Level Agreement. The time of the ticks is recorded.
|
||
4. **Card.** Press `Continue to card`, type the card into Stripe's fields on the page, then `Pay`. The total includes tax, which Stripe works out from the country and address. Card numbers never pass through ThreadCount.
|
||
|
||
Paying during a trial charges that day, and the paid period starts then. The Plan screen shows the plan as paid once Stripe confirms the payment.
|
||
|
||
## The Plan screen
|
||
|
||
The `Plan` table shows `Status`, `Staff records` (such as `42 of 60`), `Backups`, the end date (`Trial ends`, `Paid until` or `Writable until`), `Paid by`, `Invoiced to` and `Billing contact`. `Save contact` changes the billing contact.
|
||
|
||
A facility that pays by card also gets `Billing`, with `Card on file`, `Next charge` and `Cadence`, and `Invoices`, each with a PDF link.
|
||
|
||
- **`Update card`** takes a new card on the same page. It is used for every later charge, and any unpaid invoice is charged straight away.
|
||
- **`Stop at period end`**, then **`Yes, stop it`**, stops the renewal at the end of the paid period. Nothing more is charged, and nothing is refunded. `Keep my plan` undoes it before that date.
|
||
|
||
| Record | Change | Undo |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Facility | Billing contact | `Save contact` again |
|
||
| Facility | Business details and agreement times | Subscribe again |
|
||
| Card plan | Card replaced | `Update card` |
|
||
| Card plan | Set to stop at period end | `Keep my plan` |
|
||
|
||
## Grace, then read-only
|
||
|
||
When a trial or a paid period ends unpaid, 14 days of grace follow. The status reads `Ended · still writable`, with `Writable until`.
|
||
|
||
After grace the facility is read-only. Changes are refused with `Read-only: this facility's plan has lapsed.` Nothing is deleted. A failed card payment changes nothing until 14 days after `Paid until`.
|
||
|
||
Still working when read-only:
|
||
|
||
- signing in, reports, CSV exports, printing and the backup download;
|
||
- the billing contact and `Request an invoice`;
|
||
- your own name and password, and deleting your account.
|
||
|
||
Restoring a backup is refused. Writing starts again when a payment is recorded.
|
||
|
||
## Billing emails
|
||
|
||
These go to the billing contact, or to every active admin if none is set.
|
||
|
||
| Email | Sent |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Trial started | When the facility is created on a trial |
|
||
| Five trial notes | On days 1, 3, 7, 21 and 28 of the trial |
|
||
| Days left on your trial | Once in the last 7 days, then the day before |
|
||
| Trial ended | The day the trial ends |
|
||
| Now read-only | The day grace runs out |
|
||
| Receipt | Each card payment above zero |
|
||
| Payment did not go through | A card payment fails, once a day at most |
|
||
| Card updated | A new card is saved |
|
||
| Plan will end, or has ended | A card plan is set to stop, and when it ends |
|
||
|
||
These trial and read-only emails are checked daily and sent once each. Facilities paying by card, grandfathered ones and health-service members do not get them.
