Licenses are ideal for those who want to easily sell our product to their client base. When a license is created, it generates a unique number that customers can redeem. Currently, they are valid for a year and are fixed.
Plans, however, are more configurable. You can set yearly or monthly plans. As a partner, you’re limited to our pre-defined packages, but as a Branded Partner, you have the flexibility to set your own pricing, customize packages, as well as control the plans with a set of APIs.
Unlike a licence, which must be created for each individual user, Branded Partners can assign one plan to thousands of users.
The table below will give you a better understand of the difference between the two models.
| Plans | Licences |
|---|---|
| Creating plans is available only for BigMIND Partners and White Labeled Partners | Creating licences is available for the Resellers, Partners and White Labeled Partners. |
| Payment is due when the plan is assigned to a user. If the plan is not assigned yet, no funds will be deducted from the credit. | Payment is due upfront (Once the licence is created), regardless it has been used or not yet. |
| Payment can be monthly or yearly. The Partner is the one who specifies this when creating the plan. | Payment is only yearly. |
