Return on investment

What Tideway Billing pays back

The fastest way to evaluate usage-based billing platform pricing is to compare it to what it replaces, not to its list price. Customers consolidating multiple overlapping usage-based billing platform tools usually find Tideway Billing pays for itself in the first quarter — before any productivity gains.

Beyond consolidation, the second-order effects compound: faster onboarding for new hires, fewer hand-offs between teams, cleaner data flowing into the rest of your stack, and audit trails ready before security review asks. We document each of these in customer ROI reviews and would be happy to share the template before you decide.

We don't do per-seat lock-in

We don't charge for SSO

SAML and OIDC SSO are available on every paid plan, not gated behind an Enterprise upgrade.

We don't sell your data

Tideway Billing is funded by customer revenue. There is no ad model, no aggregated-data resale, no data brokers.

We don't ship dark patterns

Cancellation is one click in the dashboard. Annual contracts can be cancelled and prorated, no email loops.

More pricing questions

How does Tideway Billing billing work?

Tideway Billing charges a percentage of revenue processed, starting at 0.5%, with no per-seat fees so the whole company can use it. Higher volumes move to lower percentage tiers, and Enterprise offers a fixed annual platform fee instead of a percentage, quoted by sales.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a no-credit-card trial so finance and engineering teams at usage-priced software companies can evaluate Tideway Billing before committing.

Can I change plans later?

Absolutely — upgrade, downgrade, or move to an annual contract at any time, and changes are prorated automatically.

Do you offer discounts?

We offer annual-commit discounts, a startup program, and discounted education / nonprofit pricing. Volume pricing for larger teams is quoted individually.

What happens if I exceed plan limits?

Tideway Billing never cuts off your service. Overages are billed at published per-unit rates and you can set a hard spend cap.

Do you have an enterprise plan?

Yes. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, dedicated infrastructure, custom limits, and a 99.99% SLA. Pricing is quoted per company.
