You can choose to be billed on a monthly pay-as-you-go basis or pre-pay for a year in advance to benefit from our discounted Annual pricing.

Please refer to our Billing terms before signing up for a monthly or annually billed subscription. For both monthly and annual plans, you can make your payments by following the instructions here: Payment Methods & Instructions

Monthly Billing

All Monthly billed plans require a 30 day minimum commitment. In other words, after subscribing to a plan, you can only downgrade after 30 days. If you try to downgrade during the 30 day window, your plan will be scheduled to auto-downgrade at the end of the 30 day window.

  • Pre-pay for the number of months of your choice and for any SMS or user credits by logging into CommCare → Settings → Current Subscription, and follow the steps outlined at https://dimagi.atlassian.net/wiki/x/Gy7Kfw. Please note that credits don’t expire even if you suspend your subscription.

  • Post-pay on a monthly basis, after you receive your monthly invoice and follow payment instructions on the invoice and follow the steps outlined at https://dimagi.atlassian.net/wiki/x/Gy7Kfw.

Annual Billing

All Annually billed plans require a 12 month minimum advance payment towards the subscription plan fee (prepayment) commitment within 30 days of sign-up.

Note:

  • The prepayment is applicable only towards the total base subscription plan fee of your commitment period. Any excess user fees, should you go over the user limit included in your software plan, and sms charges per actuals, will be billed separately following the month in which you incurred these charges.

  • That said, if you anticipate exceeding your user limit and using sms during the course of your subscription period, you may also prepay any amount of your choice towards user and sms credits separately to automate the payment process and avoid having to pay for excess user or sms invoices separately each month. Please reach out to accounts@dimagi.com if you would like to purchase user or sms credits.

  • If you cancel or downgrade within 90 days, starting from the start date of your Subscription Term, you will be charged on a prorated basis for the service provided, and rest will be fully refunded. After 90 days, the advance payment is non-refundable and the service will continue until the end of the Subscription Term.

Confirm Your Payment Permissions & Notifications

To ensure you can make payments for your CommCare subscription, please follow the steps below.

Verify Your Subscription

  1. Ensure you are an Admin of your Project Space. Contact a current Admin user for an invitation if necessary.

  2. Log into CommCare and go to Settings → Current Subscription.

  3. Confirm your project is subscribed to a paid subscription (Standard, Pro, Advanced, or Enterprise).

    1.  If you have an Enterprise or a Grouped Subscription, you can access your Billing Statements via the Enterprise Console. You need to be an Enterprise Admin to be able to access the Billing Statements via the Enterprise Console.

  4. Note: Onboarding invoices are not listed on CommCareHQ and are payable only by wire transfer/ACH as instructed in the invoices.

Sign Up for Payment Notifications

To ensure receipt of invoices, subscription reminders, and billing updates, sign up as a "Billing Contact" in CommCare. To update Billing Contacts, log into CommCare and go to Project Settings > Billing Information and update the details.

If no billing contacts are entered, invoices will default to web admin users for the project space. To check registered web admin users, go to Users → Web Users & Roles.

Monthly Invoicing Process

Unless prepaid with no additional SMS or user charges, the billing contact will receive a monthly invoice by email on the 1st for charges from the previous month. This includes the base software subscription fee and any SMS or excess user charges.

  • Due Date: Payment is due on the 30th of the month after service, unless the amount is below $100 and the total balance is under $100, in which case it is postponed until the balance reaches $100. The monthly invoice will show the total balance. For example, for September fees, the invoice is issued on October 1 and due on October 30, if the balance is at least $100.

  • Late Payments: If unpaid, a reminder email is sent. After 60 days overdue, a warning email precedes a subscription pause, losing project space access. Pending invoices' total balance can be seen on the latest invoice or generated anew in project settings.
