Feature comparison

Every difference between the tiers

Governance is not a premium tier. The margin floor, approval thresholds, append-only audit lineage, and Canadian residency are on Standard, because a control that only the largest customer can afford is not a control.

The parts a procurement team asks about

  • All figures are in Canadian dollars and exclude applicable taxes. Ontario customers are billed 13% HST.
  • Implementation is mandatory and one-time: $3,500 CAD on Standard, $7,500 CAD on Business, quoted on scope for Enterprise. It is a fee, not a percentage of licence value.
  • Seats and vehicles beyond a plan's allowance bill at $45 CAD and $25 CAD per month respectively, in arrears, on what was actually provisioned. The rate is the same on Standard and Business, so scale alone never makes the larger plan cheaper.
  • Annual billing is invoiced once, twelve months up front, at 20% below the monthly rate — including on seat and vehicle overage, not just the base fee.
  • Overage on Standard's quote allowance is $600 CAD per additional 500 quotes, billed rather than forcing a mid-term tier change.
  • Contracts are twelve months minimum on Standard and Business. Enterprise terms are negotiated.

Business is not the cheaper plan. It is the larger one.

On seats and vehicles there is no crossover, and we would rather write that down than imply one. Both plans bill overage at the same published rate, so the gap between them closes to $1,250 a month at Business’s own allowance and then stops closing — past that point each plan is charging the identical rate on the identical excess. Standard plus overage stays cheaper at every scale the calculator covers.

So the question is not when Business gets cheaper. It is whether unlimited quotes, the higher API ceiling, bidirectional ERP sync, and a four-hour P0 response are worth a known premium. Quote volume is the one axis that does cross: above 3,500 quotes a month, the next overage block costs more than the whole Business tier.

Invoices are issued by Novel Blinds Inc. under GST/HST No. 8XXXXXXXXRT0001. Annual commitments are billed at 20% below the monthly rate, and that discount applies to overage as well as the base fee.

What counts as a configured quote?

One quote document, regardless of how many revisions it goes through or how many lines it carries. Revising a quote eleven times during a negotiation counts once, because charging per revision would penalise exactly the behaviour that produces an accurate document.

What's the difference between a seat and a vehicle?

A CPQ seat is a named person who can build or approve a quote — an estimator, a branch manager, whoever signs off on a discount. A field vehicle is a van on the dispatch board. We price the field side per vehicle rather than per technician because a two-person crew in one van consumes one route, one set of van stock, and one slot in the day plan, so charging twice for it would be charging for nothing.

Is the mobile app an add-on?

No. Every field vehicle includes the offline-first technician app on iOS and Android, on as many devices as that crew carries. Splitting it out would mean pricing the part of the product that works without a network as a premium, which is the wrong incentive.

When does adding seats stop being cheaper than moving up a tier?

On seats and vehicles, it doesn't. Both plans bill overage at the same published rate, so Standard plus overage stays cheaper than Business at every scale this calculator covers — the gap narrows to $1,250 CAD per month at Business's own allowance and then stops narrowing, because from there both plans are charging the identical rate on the identical excess. We know because the figure is searched for with the same function that prices the cards, and it comes back empty. Move to Business for unlimited quotes, the higher API ceiling, the four-hour P0 response, and bidirectional ERP sync — not to save money on seats. Anyone who tells you the larger plan pays for itself on headcount is describing a different price list.

What happens if we exceed the Standard quote limit?

Overage is $600 CAD per additional 500 quotes, billed in arrears rather than triggering an automatic tier change mid-term. This is the one axis where moving up genuinely gets cheaper: Business is unlimited, so above 3,500 quotes a month the next block of overage costs more than the entire Business tier. If you sit above that line for three consecutive months we will tell you, because billing you for a worse deal we can see on our own dashboard is not a business we want.

Can we move between monthly and annual mid-term?

You can switch to annual at any point and the remaining monthly term is credited against the annual invoice. Moving from annual back to monthly happens at renewal.

Is implementation optional?

No, and we would rather say that on the pricing page than in week three. It is a mandatory one-time fee — $3,500 CAD on Standard, $7,500 CAD on Business, quoted on scope for Enterprise — covering catalogue modelling, deduction tables, ERP entity mapping, and go-live. It is a flat fee rather than a percentage of licence value, because a bigger licence does not make the same catalogue harder to model. Enterprise is quoted because a dedicated cluster and a residency review are real additional work, not a bigger number for the same work.

Model the payback before you pick a tier

The ROI calculator runs your own quote volume, margin leakage, and drive time against the engine. If the arithmetic does not clear the licence cost, we would rather you found that out on this page.
