Pricing tiers & upgrading a launched election

What each tier costs, and how to raise the voter limit after your election has launched.

The tiers

Roster size Price
Up to 25 voters Free
Up to 25 voters Starter — $5
Up to 300 voters $19
Up to 1,000 voters $49
Up to 5,000 voters $99

You're charged once, at launch, based on your saved voter count at that moment. Every tier includes the same ballot and voting features — the price only reflects roster size. Email invitations, reminders, bounce handling, and the results-announcement email are included from the $5 starter tier up; the free tier sends none of these, and you distribute voting links yourself.

Adding voters while voting is open

You can add voters to a running election at any time from the election page. On an email-delivery election (any paid tier), new voters are invited by email immediately; on the free tier, they appear in the voter table with a link for you to share. If an addition would push the roster past your current tier's limit, you'll be prompted to upgrade: you pay only the difference between what you've already paid and the higher tier's price (a $19 small-tier election moving to the $49 medium tier pays $30). After the payment completes, the voters you pasted are added and invited automatically.

You can also upgrade ahead of time: on a running election, use Upgrade tier next to your plan to raise the limit before you need it.

The $5 starter option is chosen at launch time only — it shares the free tier's 25-voter cap, so it never appears as a post-launch upgrade. An election launched free stays manual-share for its lifetime, even if you later upgrade its voter cap.

Elections scheduled for a future start can be upgraded and have their roster edited freely (add, remove, import) right up until 2 minutes before the scheduled start, when the roster briefly locks so invitations go out against a settled list. Added voters are invited at the scheduled start, not immediately.

If you add voters before launching

If you're still in draft and add enough voters to cross into a higher tier before you launch, the launch dialog reflects the new tier and price automatically — and if you'd already made a payment on this election (for example, after an earlier cancelled/retried checkout), you're only charged the difference between what you already paid and the new tier's price, never the full new-tier amount again.

5,000-voter maximum

5,000 voters is the maximum roster size for a single election, regardless of tier. Larger organizations should split voting across multiple elections, or contact us to discuss your setup.
