Guide to CubiCasa’s Pricing & Billing

CubiCasa operates on a transparent, pay-as-you-go model. We believe in flexibility, which means you only pay for what you use. There are no hidden subscription fees or recurring costs.

Here is everything you need to know about how our billing works.

1. How Pricing Works

Our pricing is based strictly on activity.

  • Per-Order Charges: Fees are calculated for each individual scan or floor plan you submit.

  • No Subscriptions: You are never charged a monthly or annual fee just for having an account.

  • Zero Activity = Zero Cost: If you do not place an order during a billing cycle, you will not receive an invoice.

You can use our interactive pricing page to see how much your choices would total:

2. The Billing Cycle

Rather than charging your card every time you click "place order," we aggregate your orders to keep your accounting simple.

  • Invoicing: All orders placed during the month are grouped into a single invoice.

  • Closing Date: Invoices close on the 1st of each month.

  • Charge Date: Your card on file is billed on the 3rd of each month.

Example: If you order two Plus floor plans in January, you will receive one invoice on February 1st totaling the cost of both plans. Your card will be charged for that total on February 3rd.

Please note: Invoice closing and billing dates may vary slightly depending on weekends, holidays, or business needs, but they will generally occur around the dates listed above.

3. Payment Methods & Card Verification

When you add a credit or debit card to your account for the first time, you may notice a transaction on your statement.

  • The Pre-Authorization: We perform a temporary pre-authorization of $1 USD.

  • Why we do this: This is a security measure to verify that the card is valid and active.

  • It is NOT a charge: This is a temporary hold, not an actual charge. We will cancel/void this transaction within a few minutes.

4. High-Volume Usage Milestone

To support accounts experiencing rapid growth, we utilize a standard high-volume account validation safety step.

  • The Trigger: The very first time your total pending orders cross $500.00 within a single billing cycle, our system will email you a notification.

  • The Milestone Payment: Three days after that notification, our system will automatically process an interim payment of $500.00 from your card on file.

  • How it affects your bill: This is not an extra fee. The $500.00 is immediately added as a credit to your account balance. On the 3rd of the following month, this credit is deducted from your final total. You will only be billed for the remaining balance.

Example: If your total month-end usage is $750.00, you already paid $500.00 mid-month. On the 3rd of the next month, your card will only be charged the remaining $250.00.

  • Is this recurring? No. This is a one-time validation milestone. Once your account passes this initial verification, it will never be triggered again. Your account will permanently remain on the standard monthly billing cycle, no matter how high your usage volume grows in the future.

  • Important Note: Please ensure your payment method on file is accurate. Our system will attempt to capture this milestone payment up to 3 times. If all 3 attempts fail, your account may be temporarily deactivated to protect against unbilled usage.
