Pro Tip

Start with a conservative estimate and upgrade your plan if you reach your limits quickly.

Step-by-Step Cost Calculation Process

1

Select the Appropriate Plan

Review your collected data on products, prompts, and workflow needs. Match your needs to the closest Frevana plan:

  • Starter: 1 product, 20 prompts, up to 250 credits.
  • Professional: 3 products, 50 prompts, up to 500 credits.
  • Enterprise: Custom specs.

2

Calculate Base Monthly Cost

Record the monthly fee for the selected plan:

  • Starter: $50/month
  • Professional: $299/month (discounted from $499/mo)
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing (contact sales)
Example:
Professional Plan = $299/month

3

Account for Overages and Adjustments

Check if your needs exceed any plan limits (e.g., more prompts than allotted). If so, review if add-ons or an upgrade to a higher plan is required.

4

Apply Any Discounts or Special Offers

Look for any available promotions (e.g., introductory rates or limited-time discounts). Adjust your base cost accordingly.

Pro Tip

All plans include a 7-day free trial and can be canceled anytime before renewal for no charge.

Warning

Exceeding plan limits without upgrading may result in restricted service access until the next billing period.

5

Confirm Total Monthly Cost

Add any customizations, overage charges, or add-on features to your calculated base cost to determine your final price.

Special Scenarios and Adjustments

Handling Exceptions or Discounts

  1. Discounts
    • If you received a promotional code or are eligible for bulk discounts, enter the code during checkout to see your new price reflected.
  2. Custom Integrations or Large Volumes
    • For requirements outside standard plans (e.g., tracking more products or prompts, custom integration), contact Frevana sales for a custom quote.
  3. Upgrading or Downgrading
    • If your needs change, upgrade or downgrade your plan from your account settings. Changes typically take effect on the next billing cycle.
Pro Tip

Enterprise plans are fully customizable—if you’re running a large-scale operation, always check if a tailored solution provides better value.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Common Challenges and Solutions

  • Incorrect Data Entry – Double-check all input fields before finalizing your plan selection.
  • Misunderstanding Plan Limits – Pay close attention to product limits, prompt caps, and available credits for your chosen plan.
  • Forgotten Discounts – Always verify that any applicable discount or promo code appears in your pricing summary before confirming payment.
  • Unanticipated Usage Spikes – If your credits or prompt monitoring demands spike, consider switching to a higher plan to avoid service interruptions.

Use the AI visibility dashboard to actively monitor your resource consumption throughout each billing cycle.
