Billing FAQ
Do you offer annual pricing?
Yes, starting in April 2024, you are able to subscribe to an annual plan, which offers a 20% discount over the monthly subscription.
The organization owner can switch anytime in Settings > Billing.
Visit our pricing page to learn more.
Do I need to pay for multiple organizations?
Pricing is per organization, but you may not need multiple organizations.
Organizations are siloed: conversations can only be shared with members of a single organization. This is useful for owners of multiple companies who don't need to share information across them. A user can still be part of multiple organizations.
Teams exist within an organization and map to departments or business units (Sales, HR, Support, etc.). Teams let you share inboxes, canned responses, and conversations across "business units" where information sharing is expected.
If you need multiple organizations with different employees and want all of them on a paid plan, each organization requires its own subscription.
Can I prepay for users?
Yes, you can prepay for additional users if you plan to add more members to your organization within the next month. This is to avoid being billed separately for them.
This option is only available for users signing up for a yearly paid plan for the first time. You will see a screen like this one:
Can I pay with PayPal?
We do not accept PayPal payments. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB cards at the moment.
Can I use Missive for free?
Yes, you can. The free plan is limited to:
3 users
15-day history
5 shared accounts per user
For new accounts, a 30-day trial of Rules and Integrations will be offered.
How does the history limitation work?
All plans, except the free plan, currently include full access to your history. If you are on the free plan or a legacy plan, you may encounter limitations on your history.
Messages and chat comments that exceed your plan's history limit will be hidden from the interface and replaced with a prompt to upgrade. Rest assured, nothing is deleted from Missive; your complete email history remains accessible through Gmail, Office 365, or IMAP. This policy also applies to Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger conversations, SMS, and other communication channels.
Can my invoice include a VAT number or Tax ID?
Yes. Go to Settings > Billing, click Change billing info, and use the Tax ID field to enter your VAT number.
Do you charge in C$ for Canadian customers? 🇨🇦
No, although we are a Canadian company all our prices are in US$.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Try Missive risk-free for 30 days with no credit card required.
If you subscribe to a paid plan and aren't satisfied, contact us within 30 days, and we will refund your first payment, no questions asked.
Upgrading must be done on a computer; it is not available on mobile.
Do you offer student pricing or discounts?
We don't offer discounts at this time. As a small, bootstrapped company, we keep pricing simple and consistent for everyone, including students, nonprofits, schools, and businesses.
How can I cancel my subscription?
Go to Settings > Billing and click Cancel subscription. Your account remains active until the end of your current billing period.
To completely delete your Missive account, go to Settings > Login & Security and click Delete account at the bottom.
If you own an organization, you must delete it first in Settings > Organizations.
How can I update my billing information?
Updating billing details must be done by the organization owner on a desktop computer (it's not available on mobile).
Go to Settings > Billing and click Change billing info.
How many personal accounts can I import?
All paid plans include 10 personal accounts (email, SMS, Messenger, etc). The Free plan allows 2 personal accounts.
Can I add more than 10?
You can still add more than 10 accounts, but they must be added as shared accounts and will be billed according to our pricing.
Workaround: create a team with only yourself, then connect accounts as team inboxes. Go to Settings > Teams, create a solo team, then when adding an account, select Team Inbox and pick that team.
How to upgrade to a paid plan?
You must be the organization owner. Go to Settings > Billing and choose your subscription plan.
Upgrading must be done on a computer; it is not available on mobile.
Is there a commitment or yearly contract?
If you've subscribed to a monthly subscription, you can cancel it at any time without any commitment. Since it's a month-to-month subscription, you have the flexibility to opt out whenever you choose.
However, please note that if you opt for the yearly subscription, cancellations and refunds are not available.
Will existing customers be exempted from price raises?
For the most part, yes. We may raise prices from time to time and generally do not increase the price of existing seats in paid organizations.
However, we do reserve the right to increase prices for existing seats on rare occasions, generally in line with or under global inflation numbers.
We will always give you at least 30 days notice before any price increase.
How does the end-of-month Stripe charge breakdown work?
Missive's subscription system is designed to charge you on the same day each month based on your original subscription date. However, if a month doesn't have that specific date (for example, the 31st), the charge will occur on the last day of that month instead. So if your billing date is set for the 31st, you'll be charged on the 30th in months with only 30 days, or on the 28th/29th in February.
How are user additions and removals billed on an annual plan?
If you subscribe to the annual plan and:
Add a User: You will be charged immediately for the prorated cost of the new user for the remaining months of your subscription. For example, if you have 11 months left on your yearly subscription and are on the Productive plan at $30/user/month, the charge will be calculated as follows: 30 x 11 - 20% = $264.
Remove a User: You will not receive a refund for the removed user. If you decrease from 10 users to 9 users, you will still be considered as paying for 10 users for the entire 12 months. If you later add a user back within the same billing cycle, you will not be charged extra since you initially subscribed for 10 users.
Why can't I upgrade my account without upgrading my entire organization?
Billing is per organization, so you cannot upgrade your account without upgrading the rest of your organization.
