Partner Tiers & Bulk Pricing
How Partner Tiers Work
Partner Tiers are volume discounts for studios that purchase multiple course seats. Your discount increases as your studio’s training rollout grows.
| Tier # | Seats | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 3–9 | 10% |
| Tier 2 | 10–19 | 15% |
| Tier 3 | 20–29 | 20% |
| Tier 4 | 30–39 | 25% |
| Tier 5 | 40–49 | 30% |
| Tier 6 | 50+ | 35% |
Partner Tiers are designed to reward larger and consistent studio rollouts while keeping pricing predictable and easy to understand.
Maintaining Your Partner Tier
Your Partner Tier is based on the total number of seats your studio purchases. Your tier remains active for 12 months after your most recent purchase.
- Future purchases receive the same discount
- Higher seat totals automatically move your studio into the next tier
- Previous invoices are not recalculated (the only exception is during a 30-Day Pilot)
If your studio makes no additional purchases for 12 months, your Partner Tier resets and future purchases are assessed from the standard pricing.
Expansion Examples
Scenario 1 - Growing an Existing Rollout
| Purchase | Result |
|---|---|
| Initial rollout: 10 seats | 15% discount |
| Later expansion: +10 seats | Expansion invoice receives the 25% Partner Tier discount |
Scenario 2 - Crossing a Tier Threshold
| Purchase | Result |
|---|---|
| Initial rollout: 2 seats | No discount |
| Later expansion: +3 seats | Expansion invoice qualifies for the 10% Partner Tier discount |
The original two seats remain at their original price, but they count toward your studio’s Partner Tier.
Scenario 3 - No Expansion Within 12 Months
If no additional seats are purchased within 12 months:
- Your Partner Tier resets
- Future purchases begin again from the standard pricing
- New Partner Tier discounts are established as additional seats are purchased
Individual Purchases & Education Budgets
Individual developers may purchase courses using personal learning or education budgets.
For these purchases:
- Receipts are provided
- Credit card payment is available
- Purchases are invoiced separately
- Partner Tier discounts do not apply
If those developers later become part of a studio rollout, we’re happy to discuss the most appropriate commercial approach.
Finance & Procurement
For studios requiring procurement or finance information:
- Invoices are issued in USD ($) or EURO (€)
- Vendor registration can be completed if required
- Standard payment is by invoice and bank transfer (Credit card payment is available if desired)
Simple, predictable licensing
You purchase seats once. Developers keep lifetime access. There are no subscriptions or annual renewals.
Questions or Special Cases
Every studio operates a little differently. If your organization has requirements such as:
- Complex procurement workflows
- Multi-entity invoicing
- Non-standard rollout timelines
we’re happy to discuss them during an introductory call or by email.
