Funnel pricing is determined by functionality and flexpoints. Flexpoints measure your usage of Funnel. Each plan offers a certain level of functionality and an initial number of flexpoints suitable for that plan. Need more flexpoints? You can add more to any plan. Visit our pricing page for details about our price plans.

What are flexpoints?

  • Flexpoints measure your usage of Funnel and represent your capacity. Different features, like connectors, use these flexpoints.

  • You can adjust your allocation of flexpoints as often as you'd like. Your total flexpoints represent the maximum available, and any you don't use won't roll over to the next month.

Does my price plan contain flexpoints?

  • If your Funnel subscription is on a price plan from before June 2021, it doesn't use flexpoints.

  • All current plans like Marketers (Free, Starter, Business, Enterprise) include flexpoints.

If you are unsure, you can check your Funnel subscription overview section.

How many flexpoints do I have available?

Each plan comes with a set starting level of flexpoints and additional flexpoints can be added in increments of 100.

Subscription owners can view their current flexpoint count and usage in the "Usage" tab.

Do unused flexpoints carry over to the following months?

No, a subscription has a certain number of flexpoints allowed to be used, and unused flexpoints cannot be saved for future months. As a concrete example, you can think about flexpoints as the available storage you have on your phone.

How do I add more flexpoints?

Additional flexpoints can be purchased in increments of 100. Contact our support team or your contact person at Funnel to add flexpoints.

Can I see my flexpoint usage?

Subscription owners can view flexpoint usage in the "Usage" tab, seeing both remaining flexpoints and what's using them.

Flexpoints by Workspace

If you have more than one workspace you will be able to see a breakdown of the usage by workspace at the bottom of the page.

The first section shows the setup usage, i.e. usage that could not be tied to a specific Workspace but to your Subscription, for example, flexpoint-usage for Workspaces, Connectors, and Data Share types. The first workspace is included and does not require any flexpoints, therefore, we have included the (potential) additional Workspaces in the Subscription setup section.
