Using pay you as go

Real estate is not always predictable. Shoots spike, seasons shift, clients call last minute. Fotello’s pricing is built to flex with you. Commit to what you know, keep saving. Pay as you go only when you go beyond your plan.

Why creators love pay as you go

  • Flexible Cashflow

    • Keep your cashflow stress-free, pay as you go for assets created by you or your customer beyond your plan

  • Control your savings

    • Pay as you go at the following prices for anything that you create beyond your plan, or upgrade anytime to save.

  • Never pause

    • Keep working and delivering, even when your plan runs out.

  • Freedom to grow

    • Give more to your customers without waiting for renewal.

How it works

  1. Enable Pay as you go
    Click the Remaining listings banner in your dashboard. Review the details and select Enable Pay as you go.

  2. Shoot without worry
    When your plan's committed assets such as listings, photos, twilights etc. reach their limit Fotello will automatically ask for your consent if you haven't enabled Pay as you go. Once you confirm, you can use Pay as you go so you can keep delivering.
    You can see your current balance at Settings → Billing → Current Plan.

  3. Understand the rate
    Each Pay as you go asset is charged at the following prices . If you expect higher pay as you go usage, upgrade your commitment to reduce your cost on future usage.

When you are charged

  • On your next invoice
    Your Pay as you go usage is added to your next billing cycle and appears on that invoice. You can see your billing date at Settings → Billing → Current Plan.

  • If you upgrade mid-cycle
    Your billing cycle resets to the upgrade date, and any accrued Pay as you go listings are charged at that time at the Pay as you go rate.

  • If you cancel
    We will first settle any balance from your current billing cycle, including any Pay as you go usage, and then complete the cancellation.

See your usage at any time

Go to Settings → Billing → Pay as you go Usage to view a clear, running total of Pay as you go listings used in the current cycle.

Smart ways to save

  • Upgrade before a busy stretch
    If you know a spike is coming, move to a higher commitment to lower your per-listing cost on future shoots.

  • Annual plans for upfront flexibility
    Annual gives you your full year of listings on day one, which often eliminates the need for Pay as you go entirely.

  • Use Pay as you go as your safety net
    Keep it on so you never miss a deadline, then review your usage at month end to decide if a plan change makes sense.
