How is Canvas priced?

Posted in App Store, My Apps, My Account

Canvas is incredibly affordable and we offer pricing plans that provide flexibility based on your own specific needs or use of the service.  In most cases you will find that Canvas is less than the cost of just purchasing multi-part paper forms alone.

With Canvas you will need to choose a pricing plan for each Canvas user.  For our frequent users who are actively utilizing Canvas several times in a day, our Unlimited Monthly or Unlimited Annual plans are a good fit.  With these plans, our subscribers get an unlimited number of application submissions allowing them to use the service as often as they would like.   

For those lower use or infrequent use subscribers within your organization we offer an affordable Pay as you Go plan.  With this plan you only pay for what you submit back from those users’ devices - think of it like a text message charge.  You only pay when you use it.

Note that with all of our plans, you can download, customize, or create as many apps as you would like and make them available to your users. Many of our customers start out using Canvas with one specific app to replace a process previously executed using paper. They often realize that they can exponentially increase the benefits of replacing many of their paper forms with Canvas mobile apps.Do I have to pay for my users who are only creating Canvas apps, accessing the data or administrating my users? No!  Put those users on a Pay as you Go plan and they are always free to access the website at no charge.

When you consider the cost of paper, postage, and administrative labor to process and store documents, Canvas really is less than the cost of the paper it replaces. Check out and download our ROI Calculator to see what you could save in using our service, and then consider the added value of the new connections and efficiencies you gain with Canvas.

Plan Name Description Cost
Pay As You Go No charges in advance, no minimum fees - Just pay for what you use. Each "app" submission sent from a mobile device costs just $0.50. $0.50per app submission
Unlimited Monthly If you are actively collecting information throughout the day, you will find significant savings with the Unlimited Monthly plan. Pay just $20/mobile user/month for unlimited use of Canvas – as many apps and as many submissions as you want.

Unlimited Annual Our annual plan gives you unlimited use of the Canvas service at a further reduced price. For an annual rate of $210/mobile user/year you have the benefits of unlimited use of the Canvas solution at a price point less expensive than the paper you are replacing. $210.00per year*

what is the payment system? how it is charged and paid?

Tan,

  The large majority of Canvas customers pay with Credit Card (all normal credit cards are supported).  In situations where there are a large number of users within an account, we do support invoicing for those types of clients.

Thanks

Can a user be tied to multiple ipads or iphones? I.e. I have a receptionist that has visitors fill out agreements, only have the 1 receptionist but she has 4 ipads to facilitate rushes. Does that require 4 users, or can she be logged in simultaneously to all 4 ipads that are being used and having submissions within the same time period. Thanks!

Nick,

The way Canvas is licensed is “per mobile user”, which for most of Canvas customers is a mobile worker.  Since you are having multiple people using iPads, you would license it per mobile device and then assign a different log in per device.  So, in this case you would license 4 users.

Let us know if you need anything else,
thanks

confused on pricing. what does each submission mean, for instance if i collect time sheets each day what do i pay, the app i am making is just for 1 person at this time.

Lets say I have 5 mobiles that are shared between 20 people, and these 20 people would each need a log in. Would I need to license 5 copies, or 20?

Thanks for reaching out to Canvas.  With regards to your licensing question, we are licensed “per mobile user” - which is equivalent to a log in.  So, if you need to have 20 people submitting data uniquely, then that is 20 licenses.

Let us know if you need anything else,
Thanks

David,

  With regards to pricing, think of a submission as a paper form.  Every time you fill out a submission and click “finish”, that qualifies as a submission.  If you fill out a large number of submissions, its recommended you go to the unlimited submission plans.

Let us know if you need anything else,
Thanks,

I am trying to figure out what is the best payment option for us? We are a small Wellness clinic and I will be the only one filling out forms (and them being emailed back to me) for when I do corporate/home visits. 

I typically will email myself around 20-25 forms per month. So should I just stay with the unlimited monthly plan?

Good Question Brandon, At 20-25 forms per month you would pay about $10.00-$12.50 a month but if you go over a monthly plan would be a great way to go thus reducing your chance of going over.  You can always change plans from monthly to Pay as you Go.
