Pay As You Go for BoldSign

BoldSign’s Pay As You Go (PAYG) model lets you pay only for what you use—across all plans. Whether through the web app or API, you can scale usage without fixed limits or forced upgrades. Start with a base subscription and pay extra only when you exceed included limits or use add-on features.

How Pay As You Go works in the BoldSign’s Enterprise API plan

BoldSign’s API plan includes a base subscription with a fixed number of documents and features. When your usage exceeds these limits or includes add-on features such as SMS delivery, WhatsApp notifications, bulk sending, identity verification, and more, Pay As You Go (PAYG) charges apply.

Pay As You Go charges for BoldSign features

BoldSign offers the following Pay As You Go (PAYG) features, each billed per request based on actual usage:

These charges apply only when you use these features beyond your plan’s included limits. All usage is tracked and billed at the end of your billing cycle.

Example: How Pay As You Go charges are calculated

Let’s say you’re on the Enterprise API Plan, which costs $30/ month and includes 40 API documents.
Scenario 1: Standard API Usage
For instance, during the billing cycle, 50 documents were sent through the API.

• The first 40 documents are covered under your subscription
• The remaining 10 documents exceed your plan limit
• Each extra document is billed at $0.75 under PAYG
• So, 10 × $0.75 = $7.50 in additional charges

Your total monthly API cost would be: $30 (base plan) + $7.50 (PAYG charges) = $37.50

Scenario 2: Bulk Document Sending
In the same billing cycle, you also sent 100 bulk documents via the Webapp. Your plan includes 50 bulk credits.

• The first 50 bulk documents are covered by your plan
• The remaining 50 bulk documents exceed your bulk quota
• Each extra bulk document is billed at $0.25 under PAYG
• So, 50 × $0.25 = $12.50 in additional charges

Your updated monthly API cost now becomes: $30 (base plan) + $7.50 (Additional API documents sent beyond included limit) + $12.50 (Additional bulk usage beyond included credits) = $50.00
