costDrivers:
  - name: Units Under Management
    description: All Propertyware pricing is calculated per unit per month. Costs scale linearly with the number of units managed on the platform.
    notes:
      - Units are billed in 50-unit increments.
      - Monthly minimums apply regardless of actual unit count.

  - name: Plan Tier
    description: Core plan selection determines the base per-unit rate.
    tiers:
      - plan: Basic
        ratePerUnit: 1.00
        minimumMonthly: 250.00
      - plan: Plus
        ratePerUnit: 1.50
        minimumMonthly: 350.00
      - plan: Premium
        ratePerUnit: 2.00
        minimumMonthly: 450.00

  - name: API Add-On
    description: API access incurs an additional $1.00 per unit per month on top of the base plan rate. This cost is borne by the Propertyware customer, not the integrating developer.
    additionalRatePerUnit: 1.00
    notes:
      - Developer integration is free (no integration fees charged to developers).
      - The customer activates and pays for API access.

  - name: Implementation Fee
    description: One-time implementation fee equivalent to 2x the first monthly subscription cost applies to all new customers.
    type: one-time

  - name: Transaction Fees
    description: Additional per-transaction fees apply to screening and payment processing services.
    type: variable

budgetingGuidelines:
  - Calculate baseline cost as (units × plan rate) + (units × $1.00 API add-on), subject to monthly minimums.
  - Add implementation fee (2x monthly) as a one-time upfront cost.
  - Budget for unit growth in 50-unit increments to avoid mid-period adjustments.
  - Monitor screening and payment volumes for variable transaction cost forecasting.
