Please view the latest pricing on our pricing page.
Note: You'll always be charged for 1 staff member. You'll only be charged for additional staff members if they're considered active.
When will I receive an invoice?
Scout bills are in arrear. Monthly plans are billed on the second day of every month for the previous month's usage.
Example: On December 2nd, your payment method on file would be charged for November 1st–30th.
What is an active staff member?
An active staff member is any staff member who has an appointment assigned to them within Scout during the month.
Can I save any money by pre-paying for a staff member?
Yes. If you pre-pay for an annual plan, you'll save 17% per year, per staff member compared to paying monthly. This can really add up as your company grows!
Annual plans renew one year from the date on which they were purchased.
Can I pre-pay for annual plans for some staff and pay monthly for others?
Absolutely! We understand that you may want to take advantage of the annual savings, but you may also have staff that isn't full-time or may be seasonal. For this reason, you can purchase annual plans for the number of staff you know you will have for the year and pay monthly for the rest.
What if I've signed up for an annual plan for a staff member and they leave?
While we don't offer refunds for annual plans, your annual plan can be used for another staff member.
Can I get a refund if I've purchased an annual plan and cancel my Scout subscription?
Unfortunately, we don't offer refunds on annual plans.
Are there any contracts?
No contracts. Cancel anytime!
