url: https://engagedly.com/pricing

cost_model:
  type: per-user-per-month
  billing_cycle: annually
  minimum_annual_spend: 7500
  currency: USD
  notes:
    - Pricing scales with active user count
    - Each functional module is priced separately per user
    - Full platform bundle discounts may be available via negotiation

cost_optimization:
  - strategy: Module selection
    description: Only license the specific modules (Performance, Learn, Recognize, Engage, Talent) required for your workforce program rather than the full platform.

  - strategy: User count management
    description: Regularly audit active vs. inactive users; deactivate departed employees promptly to avoid paying for unused licenses.

  - strategy: Annual commitment negotiation
    description: All pricing requires annual billing. Negotiate multi-year contracts or larger user counts for volume discounts.

  - strategy: Bundle discount
    description: Purchasing multiple modules together or as the full platform may unlock lower per-module pricing versus buying modules individually.

  - strategy: API usage monitoring
    description: Monitor API call volumes to identify integrations driving unnecessary load. Use pagination (max 50 records/page) efficiently to minimize total request counts.

  - strategy: Integration consolidation
    description: Evaluate integration touchpoints (HRIS sync, SSO, Slack, Teams) to avoid redundant data fetches and reduce API call overhead.

budget_planning:
  minimum_scenario:
    description: Single module (e.g., Recognize & Reward only) for small team
    estimate_per_user_month: 2
    minimum_annual: 7500

  mid_tier_scenario:
    description: Performance + Learn modules for mid-size organization
    estimate_per_user_month: 8
    notes: Combined Manage Performance ($5-8) and Learn & Grow ($3-5) per user/month

  full_platform_scenario:
    description: All core modules (Performance + Learn + Recognize + Engage + Talent)
    estimate_per_user_month: 14
    notes: Sum of all five core module prices at lower bound; actual bundle pricing may vary

  enterprise_scenario:
    description: Full platform with Mentoring and Compensation add-ons
    estimate_per_user_month: 32
    notes: Includes all modules plus Mentoring ($8) and Compensation ($10); enterprise custom pricing recommended

api_cost_notes:
  - API access is included with the platform subscription; no separate API usage fees are documented
  - No per-call or per-request charges are documented for the Engagedly API
  - Integration development costs (engineering time) should be factored into total cost of ownership
  - Third-party integration platforms (e.g., Unified.to) may add additional per-request costs
