Good to know

Does the pricing vary with the exchange/conversion rate?

The pricing that appears on the page is fixed. We do not change the pricing for exchange/conversion rates regularly. When there is a pricing change in the future, you will get notified through mail communication well before the new pricing implementation.

Pro tip - Choosing the currency

When you choose a different currency other than your default credit card currency, as it is cheaper or more convenient for you, your bank might impose a currency conversion charge on your credit card during the transaction.

For example, say you own a UK-based credit card and want to pay in USD instead of GBP because it's cheaper based on the currency conversion rate. You can choose USD as your currency, but the bank might impose an additional transaction fee for currency conversion on your credit card.

Document360 has introduced this multicurrency payment option to help you avoid additional charges on international transaction fees and currency conversion charges.


What is the difference between monthly and annual plans?

A monthly subscription for Document360 allows you to pay every month, while an annual subscription allows you to pay on an annual basis (once per year). The annual subscription typically offers around a 20% discounted rate compared to paying every month.

For example, if you subscribe to the monthly plan on 01 January 2023, your next billing cycle would be 01 February 2023. If you subscribe to the annual plan on 01 January 2023, your next billing cycle would be 01 January 2024.
