Billing rules, discounts, and fair use
- What counts as an active worker?
- Active workers are employees and contractors who had time or labor cost processed in Allocent during the billing month — counted once, not everyone on your roster.
- Do verified nonprofits receive a discount?
- Verified nonprofits receive 20% off Core, Intelligence, and Scale subscriptions. During Allocent’s launch period, that nonprofit discount may be combined with annual billing. Custom nonprofit pricing is case-by-case.
- How do seasonal spikes affect my plan?
- Each plan includes a 10% seasonal buffer for a single month above the published allowance. Two consecutive billing months above the published allowance require an upgrade to the appropriate tier (or Custom).
- What happens if we exceed the allowance by more than 10%?
- A month more than 10% above your published allowance starts a customer conversation — not a surprise automatic charge.
- Are Ask Allocent or MCP usage billed per question?
- Intelligence and above include generous Ask Allocent and MCP fair use. Allocent does not apply automatic per-question AI overage charges. If usage materially exceeds fair-use safeguards, our team will contact you to discuss options — not apply surprise automatic charges.
- Which timezone is used for billing months?
- Billing months are calculated in UTC until organization-specific billing timezones are available.
- Is there a separate onboarding fee?
- Allocent does not charge a separate onboarding fee. Getting-started resources do not guarantee founder access, live sessions, custom implementation, or professional services.
- Can AI publish journals automatically?
- No. Assistants may prepare or request actions within authorized boundaries, but publishing and other financial commitments remain human Confirm & Publish steps inside Allocent.
- How do we get started?
- Customers may begin with a monthly Core, Intelligence, or Scale subscription. Contact sales for Custom. Allocent does not charge a separate onboarding fee. Getting-started resources do not guarantee founder access, live sessions, custom implementation, or professional services. Allocent does not currently offer a generic free trial or separate paid pilot program.
