06Terms
How billing works.
Annual contracts
Annual subscriptions are payable at contract start. Implementation is billed half at signing and half before production launch. Payment terms are net 15.
Month to month
Month-to-month billing is available at a premium: Launch $500, Professional $1,000 and Scale $1,875 a month; Enterprise month-to-month terms are custom. An annual contract saves $1,200 on Launch, $2,400 on Professional and $4,500 on Scale.
Multi-year agreements
Two-year agreements take 5% off the subscription; three-year agreements take 10%. Professional on a three-year agreement is $8,640 a year.
Renewal
Subscriptions renew annually with 30 to 60 days' notice to cancel. Pricing is fixed for the initial term; renewal pricing may rise by 3–5% a year, communicated in advance.
A paid pilot
A paid pilot — $2,500 for 60 to 90 days, one program, limited candidates and attempts — is credited toward the annual subscription when you sign.
Exam attempts
An exam attempt is counted when a candidate launches a scored production examination. Practice and internal QA examinations are not counted.
07Questions
Pricing, answered.
What certifying bodies ask before they ask for a quote.
Are there per-application fees?+
No. Applications are included within your subscription.
Do you charge every time a credential is issued?+
No. Native certificate and credential issuance is included.
Do you charge for renewals?+
No. Recertification workflows and native renewals are included.
Are vouchers extra?+
No. Voucher creation and management are included.
Does Qualeron take a percentage of exam or certification fees?+
No. Your payment processor's fees apply, as they would anywhere; Qualeron adds no percentage of your program revenue.
Is proctoring included?+
The integration is included on qualifying plans. Third-party proctoring sessions are billed separately because they create external delivery costs. The first provider adapter is in development.
Can we use our existing proctoring provider?+
Yes, where supported.
Is custom development included?+
No. Custom engineering outside the standard product is separately scoped and billed at $225 an hour with a written scope, a deposit and acceptance criteria.
What counts as an exam attempt?+
An exam attempt is counted when a candidate launches a scored production examination. Practice and internal QA examinations are not counted.
Is there a free trial?+
There is no permanent free tier. Qualified organizations can run a paid pilot ($2,500, credited toward the subscription) or a guided proof of concept; enterprise prospects get a controlled proof-of-concept environment.
