As a Pro user, you pay a base subscription fee of $30 per month, which covers access to Visualist’s core features and tools. In addition, there is a monthly fee of $12 per hub you create.
Key differences
- Base subscription fee: Provides access to Visualist’s main features and functionality.
- Hub usage fee: An extra cost for each dedicated client portal (or hub) you set up. These hubs allow you to invite clients and collaborators to work together in personalized spaces.
Advantages of Visualist’s usage-based billing
- For interior designers: Create and pay for hubs based on your active projects. This ensures you’re only paying for what you use, helping manage your budget more effectively.
- For event and wedding planners: Manage multiple client portals for various events without a high fixed monthly cost. You pay only for the hubs you have open, offering flexibility as your project list changes.
- For personal stylists: Set up hubs for different clients or sessions and incur costs only for the hubs in use. This pay-as-you-need model ensures you’re not paying extra for unused features.
How this compares to other companies
Many other companies adopt a less flexible model where customers pay a high fixed fee for a set number of hubs. This means that whether you have just one project or 15, you pay the same substantial fee. This can be uneconomical, as customers with fewer projects end up paying as much as those with more, regardless of their actual usage.
Why Visualist’s approach is advantageous
- Pay-as-you-need: We align costs with actual usage, so you only pay for the hubs you actively use.
- Scalability: You can add more hubs as your business grows without facing a substantial increase in your base subscription fee, making it cost-effective and adaptable to your needs.
- Flexibility in scaling up and down: Easily adjust the number of hubs based on your seasonal needs or project fluctuations. This flexibility helps you manage costs effectively throughout the year.
Visualist’s usage-based billing provides a fair, flexible pricing structure that adapts to your needs, ensuring you only pay for what you use while allowing for easy adjustments based on seasonal changes or project demands.
