Changes to Board Management’s Pricing Plans

Jul 31

A lot has changed in the past year. This year, we’ve made some major updates, from a complete redesigned of the user interface to faster page load and added security. We will continue to add more updates coming later this year. Early next year, we plan to release the new survey/voting and reporting modules to make it easier to get members’ feedback and gauge their engagement. These changes are exciting, but we still have a long way to go to deliver the Board Management we envision.

We don’t take any change to our pricing model lightly, and we don’t take our customers for granted. But we do want to continue improving Board Management, investing in the product to make it more powerful and deliver a better experience to you.

As a result, we are introducing a tiered pricing structure that more accurately reflects the value users get from the product. The tiered pricing is modest and designed to reflect the business value of our product relative to your success.

Here’s how the Board Management pricing model will look going forward:

All new accounts will continue to have 30 days free trial. No contract. No credit required.
