Pricing Changes FAQ

Why Is My Subscription Changing?

There have been several important changes that will impact your subscription. Here is a detailed breakdown so you know how it will impact you. 

  • Legacy pricing is expiring: As plans and feature bundles have changed over the years, some customers have grandfathered pricing. This legacy pricing has exceeded its grace period and will be expiring.
  • There are two available platform tiers of Aplos – Aplos Core for $99/month and Aplos Lite for $79/month: These new tiers launched in 2022 with pricing soon going into effect for our existing customers.
  • New pricing for additional users and contacts: 
    • 2 users are included in every account and additional users are now $20 per user
    • 500 contacts are included in every account and additional contacts are $20 per 1,000 contacts

What Are Aplos Lite And Aplos Core?

Tips For Managing Your Subscription

Can I edit my subscription before I am charged the new pricing?

Yes, you can edit your subscription to upgrade, downgrade, or change features at any time. You will be billed based on the features that are enabled at the time your billing cycle renews.

How can I change my subscription?

Go to your Subscription page and select “Change Subscription” to select the tier and features that work best for your organization. If you remove a feature or downgrade prior to your new pricing effective date, these changes will be reflected on the first billing cycle after this date. For more information, see the Support Center article on managing your subscription.

If you are in contract, your subscription will not automatically change. Contact your customer support manager for questions about your subscription.

How can I lower my subscription cost?

You are still able to save 10% by paying annually rather than monthly.  You can update your subscription in the software and switch to an annual billing period.

You may be able to get a discounted subscription rate if your organization is small and makes $50,000 or less in annual revenue, or if it was founded in the past year. If your organization fits the criteria, you can request a review to see if you are eligible for a discount.

We understand many people have been significantly impacted by the economy and COVID-19, so you can contact our team if you have concerns about financial hardship based on these changes. We want to hear from you and can help review and adjust your subscription to fit your needs and budget.
