Subscription plans

If I choose to upgrade to a paid plan, is there a time commitment or is it month to month? Can I subscribe monthly?

We offer monthly and yearly billing options for our subscription plans. Please use the monthly <> annual toggle button at the top of the pricing page to get relevant pricing information. We offer 20% discount on annual plans.

With monthly plan, the default historical date range used to generate Live Persona is 1 month, while with annual plans, it is 12 months of historical data.

How do I choose an appropriate paid subscription plan for my needs?

If you are looking to generate personas for a single website, business plans are the right plans for you. An appropriate business plan is automatically determined by our platform based on the monthly visitor traffic on your website.

When managing multiple businesses/websites, agency plans are more appropriate. Please pick an appropriate agency plan based on the number of websites for which personas need to be generated each month and the cumulative monthly visitor traffic across those websites.

In summary, business pricing plans allow you to pay for one business/website at a time, while the agency plans allow you to purchase for multiple websites together.

All plans (business and agency plans) include Competitor Persona for few competitor domains. If you need more than what's provided as default in the plan that you chose, you can purchase them as add-ons.

How are agency plans different from business plans?

Agency plans are suited for generating and managing personas for multiple businesses/websites. Apart from better pricing on a per-website basis (compared to single business plans), agency plans offer flexibility in choosing the set of websites for persona generation each month. Using the ON/OFF Upgrade toggle switch for each website/competitor, you can choose for one-time generation for a set of websites/competitors while the remaining can be kept in auto-update mode for several months or longer. You also have the option to get white-labeled reports from our platform when using agency plans.

Do you offer discounts for non-profit organizations and educational institutions?

We offer 40% discounts on paid business plans to non-profit organizations and educational institutions. If you are an eligible organization, please contact sales@delve.ai with your organization details to avail this discount.

To help choose a lower pricing tier, can Live Persona use only sample/limited traffic from my Google Analytics view?

Our platform cannot pull the necessary dimensions and metrics from Google Analytics for a sample of the traffic on your website. Hence, the appropriate paid plans are always based on your website's monthly traffic and cannot be restricted to a lower tier.

Billing

How will you bill me?

We offer monthly and yearly billing for our products. Subscription will be renewed at the end of each subscription period (month/year).

What types of payment do you accept?

We only accept payments online. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express cards. We do not accept PayPal.

Where do I insert my company's VAT number under billing?

To add your VAT number, please go to Billing (using the drop down under your name on the top right of the screen) > Billing Details and enter the VAT number under Tax ID section.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan at any time?

Yes, Delve AI offers pay-as-you-go services and you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription plan anytime from the Settings (at the bottom of the left navigation bar) > Subscription page of your business.

If you upgrade anytime, we will apply a pro-rated credit for your existing subscription to the purchase of the new plan. Your new plan will become active instantaneously.

You can also downgrade at any time, but your changes will not take effect until the start of your next billing cycle.

Do you have any cancellation fees?

No. Delve AI offers pay-as-you-go services. We do not have any cancellation fees. You can cancel whenever you want. You will not be billed again after the current billing cycle.

If you cancel, you will lose access to all paid features at the end of your billing cycle for that plan.

How does the free Lite Plan work for Live Persona by Delve AI?

After you sign up for Live Persona for your business, segments and personas will be generated using historical data of 3+ days. You can access all the features for the largest (first) segment generated, including persona details, user distribution, enriched analytics, industry specific insights, upto three sample user journeys and more. No credit card is required. We want to make sure that you experience one of the segments generated before you buy it.

An upgrade to a paid plan is required to generate more accurate personas (based on longer historical period) and to access features for all segments generated, including your best performing segment.

If a business stays in free Lite Plan beyond initial 30 days, we may use demographics, interests and other dimensions/metrics (in aggregated and anonymized form) gathered from the Google Analytics account associated with your business, to refine our platform's internal data models and benchmarks.

We may apply a term limit of two years for a business under the Lite plan.

Can we have more than one month of historical data processed when generating personas on the monthly plan?

When upgrading to a paid monthly plan, you can choose 3/6/12 months of historical data to be processed (apart from the default of one month of historical data) at an additional cost to generate more accurate/robust personas. A one-time fee for processing historical data will be charged as part of the first invoice, apart from the subscription fee. You can find the pricing details at https://www.delve.ai/pricing. All subsequent invoices will only include applicable subscription fee.

Can I generate personas for multiple websites?

Yes, you can use the + button at the top (next to the business name) to add multiple businesses/websites.

What happens if the number of visitors in a month exceeds the limit set by my current Live Persona subscription plan?

All of our Live Persona pricing plans have a limit on the number of visitors that will be processed every month.

When the number of visitors for your business significantly exceeds your plan limit in any month, access to the paid features will be restricted. To restore access, you will need to upgrade to the appropriate plan matching the increased average monthly visitor count.

We never throttle customers or stop processing your data for getting traffic spikes.
