Billing & subscription

Billing during the beta: it's free

Pishik is in a private, invite-only beta, and the whole beta is free. Every workspace runs on the free beta plan from the moment it's created — there's no card to enter at signup, no card kept on file, and no way for anything you do to run up a charge.

What “billing is off” looks like

• No payment screen and no card field anywhere in signup or Settings.
• No invoices and no renewal — there's nothing to pay and nothing to auto-renew.
• If an admin opens Settings → Plan & billing, it shows your free beta workspace, your seat meter (adjustable up to 10), and a greyed preview of the tiers coming at launch — prices say “TBA” and nothing is purchasable. (You need an admin or owner role to see that screen.)

Every beta workspace gets 10 seats

Each workspace comes with 10 seats during the beta — room for ten people who sign in to build and manage contracts. Seats are free, and the email reviewers who approve contracts don't use them at all. How seats and reviewers work is covered next in Seats and reviewers.

When paid plans arrive

When billing eventually launches, you'll choose a plan then — with plenty of notice — and, as the app puts it, your workspace, team, and contracts carry over unchanged. Nothing about your data depends on picking a plan. For what pricing might look like, see What will Pishik cost after the beta?

Seats and reviewers: what a plan counts (and what's always free)

Pishik's pricing model has one simple rule: you pay for people who sign in, never for people who only review by email.

A seat is for someone who signs in

A seat belongs to a member of your workspace — the owner, admins, and users who log in to build review flows, route contracts, and manage the team. During the beta every workspace has 10 seats, free. When billing launches, tiers will differ only by how many seats they include — and the beta-exclusive Founding rate keeps every seat your workspace already has.

Email reviewers are always free and unlimited

The reviewers who approve or reject a contract never sign in. They get a personal email link, open the document in your own storage, and confirm their decision on a hosted page — no account, ever. Because they never sign in, reviewers never consume a seat. As the app says plainly, email reviewers are always free & unlimited — send a contract to as many reviewers as you like, on any plan, now and after billing arrives.

The day-to-day seat mechanics live with your team

For the operational details — exactly who counts against your seats, how a pending invite holds a seat until it's accepted, and how offboarding a former teammate frees one up — see Seats explained and Offboard a teammate in User & team management.

What will Pishik cost after the beta?

We haven't set tier prices yet — Team, Business, and Enterprise are “TBA.” While Pishik is in the private beta it's free (see Billing during the beta), and we haven't published tier prices because the plans aren't final. The one number we've committed to is the beta-exclusive Founding rate.

What we can tell you today

• The beta stays free while it lasts. You won't be charged during the beta, and no card is ever on file.
• Paid plans are planned for at or after the end of the beta. The planned lineup is three tiers — Team, Business, and Enterprise — every tier getting every feature, with only the number of seats differing. See the pricing overview for the current outline.
• Reviewers stay free and unlimited on every plan. Only seats — people who sign in — are ever priced. See Seats and reviewers.

The honest caveats

Beta access is not a promise of permanent free service. As set out in the Beta Program Agreement and the Terms of Service, pricing can change, and we may introduce paid plans at or after the end of the beta. If we do, we'll give notice — and continuing to use Pishik after a pricing change means accepting it.

We do intend to treat early users well when that day comes; the specifics of that intention are in The founding-member promise.

The founding-member promise, in plain terms

You'll see us call beta participants founding members. Here's exactly what that does — and doesn't — mean, so there are no surprises later.

What founding members get

When Pishik launches, every beta workspace gets a decision window of at least 30 days — announced in-app and by email to your admins — and, during that window, first pick of a beta-exclusive Founding rate: a flat $75/month that keeps every seat your workspace already has, with every feature and unlimited free reviewers. You can also choose Team, Business, or Enterprise instead if one of those fits better.

What happens if you don't choose

If the window closes with no plan selected, the workspace is paused (suspended) — never deleted. Everything stays intact, your data remains exportable for at least 60 days after a pause, and picking a plan (or just writing to us) restores access. We will never delete a paused workspace's data without reasonable prior notice to its admins.

The honest fine print

The Founding rate is offered only during the decision window and only to workspaces that took part in the beta. Published prices — including the Founding rate — can change up to launch; the prices in effect when your window opens are the ones offered. The binding wording lives in Section 7 (Fees; transition to paid plans) of the Beta Program Agreement, and the Terms of Service (§5) govern pricing generally.
