Upgrading Pricing Tiers
Upgrading Pricing Tiers
Challenge uses metered usage with graduated pricing tiers. This guide explains how to upgrade your pricing tier when you need more challenge capacity.
Overview
Challenge pricing is based on metered usage with the following tiers:
- Starter: $49/month for 0-100 challenges, $0.80/challenge overage
- Growth: $149/month for 0-400 challenges, $0.55/challenge overage
- Scale: $499/month for 0-2000 challenges, $0.35/challenge overage
- Unlimited: $999/month with fair use policy of 20,000 challenges/month
Why Manual Process?
Stripe’s customer portal does not support subscription changes for metered usage products with graduated tiers. This is a limitation of how Stripe handles metered billing, which requires manual processing for tier upgrades.
