How C2C
License Fee
Pricing Works

THERE ARE 2
DECISIONS TO MAKE TO
DETERMINE YOUR PRICING:

• First, your pricing model: Standard or Early Commitment.

• Then, your contract term: 3-year or 5-year.

Both decisions stack to determine your rate. Your C2C account team will share the live pricing model with your specific dollar figures. You are locking in your rate for 3 or 5 years with no annual CPI escalation during that contract term.

BEFORE YOUR CHOOSE:

Both pricing models share these basics:

• Your per-user rate is locked for the full contract term — no CPI escalators, no annual surprises.

• Both are anchored to the same ten-tier rate card — Early Commitment uses it as the basis for calculating custom between-tier pricing.

• The minimum annual fee is $30,000, regardless of user count, contract term, or pricing model. Tier 1 covers up to 5,000 users at that rate.

STANDARD

With Standard pricing, you commit to using the C2C platform for the contract term — but you don't commit to a specific user count. Your annual bill follows the tier your actual usage occupies, at the locked rate card.

Between tier ceilings, Standard rounds up to the next tier's full fee. During the year, if your usage grows into a higher tier, we bill prorated catch-up to that tier's fee for the remaining quarters. Year to year, each contract year is sized to actual usage — you can move down a tier or up without amendment to the contract.

The trade-off: Standard is the rate card's full price. The right to flex without renegotiation is what you're buying.

EARLY COMMITMENT

With Early Commitment, you get a 15% discount off the rate card in exchange for a firm minimum user count. You commit to a specific number at signing, and that becomes your floor for the entire contract. Between tier ceilings, Early Commitment lets you define your own tier — instead of rounding up to the next tier's flat rate, your committed user count is priced at the lower tier's per-user rate, so you pay for your actual volume.

If your actual usage exceeds your commitment, your annual fee recalculates at the same favorable rate × your new user count, and the new level becomes your floor for the rest of the contract. If your actual usage drops below your commitment, you still pay the floor — there's no downward adjustment during the term.

Early Commitment requires commitment to your user number by June 30 of the preceding school year. Each year you can raise the floor to a higher level to lock in savings if you know growth is coming.

QUESTION TO CONSIDER:

HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU IN YOUR USER COUNT OVER THE CONTRACT TERM?

Choose Early Commitment if your roster is stable and you can name your number with confidence. If you're mostly confident with some upside, commit at the conservative end of your range — the ratchet handles growth at favorable rates, so you don't need to commit high to protect yourself.

Choose Standard if you're genuinely uncertain — new contracts in flux, possible loss of an account, a category that's still finding its footing. If you might shrink, definitely choose Standard. Early Commitment would lock you into a floor you might not need.
