Subscription Plans

Monthly plans with included allowances.


As You Go (PAYGO)

No monthly fee. Pay only for what you use.

How it works:

  1. Buy coins in increments (min 20 coins = $10)

  2. Use coins for any product

  3. Top up as needed

Pricing:

  • Reveal profile: 1 coin ($0.50)

  • Post job: 80 coins ($40)

  • Run interview: 24 coins ($12)

Best for:

  • Testing before committing

  • Sporadic hiring needs

  • Low-volume recruiting

  • Supplementing subscription overages

Coins never expire.

When to Use Subscription vs PAYGO

Use Subscription if:

  • You hire consistently

  • You have multiple recruiters

  • You need team collaboration

  • You want predictable costs

  • You need ATS integration

Use PAYGO if:

  • You hire occasionally

  • You're a solo recruiter

  • You want flexibility

  • You're testing MeetAI first


Cost Comparison Example

Scenario: Hiring 10 candidates/month

PAYGO costs:

  • 50 profile reveals: 50 coins = $25

  • 10 interviews: 240 coins = $120

  • 2 job posts: 160 coins = $80

  • Total: 450 coins = $225/month

Starter Plan:

  • Includes: 100 profiles, 5 jobs, 30 interviews

  • Cost: $390/month

  • Need to add 1 job (80 coins = $40)

  • Total: $430/month

  • But you get: Email templates, better support, team features

Pro Plan:

  • Includes: 300 profiles, 10 jobs, 100 interviews

  • Cost: $890/month

Usage Tracking

Real-time dashboard shows:

  • Projected usage based on trends

Email alerts at:

  • 50% usage

  • 75% usage

  • 100% usage (auto-charges overage or prompts upgrade)


Overage Handling

What happens when you hit your limit:

Subscription plans:

  • Auto-charges extra usage at per-unit rate

  • Example: Pro plan hits 300 profiles → next profile costs $0.50

PAYGO:

  • Transaction declines if insufficient coins

  • Prompt to top up

Upgrade option: System suggests upgrading if overage costs exceed next plan tier.
