Funnel's price model is defined by two main variables: required functionality and capacity (flexpoints). Functionality is differentiated by the different plans. In terms of capacity, each plan comes with a starting level of flexpoints that covers the typical requirements in each plan. However, you are able to easily add additional flexpoints in all plans to cover your capacity needs. Learn more about the different price plans on our pricing page.

Does my price plan contain flexpoints?

If you are on a Funnel price plan pre-dating June 2021, your subscription does not utilize the flexpoint-system. If you are unsure, you can check your Funnel subscription overview section.

If the current plan is Marketing & Ecommerce - Essentials/Plus/Enterprise or Agency -Small/Plus/Large, your plan contains flexpoints. If you are the Subscription owner you'll also see a Usage-tab where you can track your flexpoint consumption.

What are flexpoints?

Flexpoints is a capacity measure that is associated with your Funnel subscription. Different features in Funnel consume different levels of flexpoints, and you are free to distribute and redistribute your flexpoints as you wish at any point in time. The number of flexpoints you have refers to the maximum number of flexpoints you can distribute, unused flexpoints are not reimbursed or saved for future months.

How many flexpoints do I have available?

Each plan comes with a set starting level of flexpoints and you can easily add additional flexpoints in 100 increaments at any point.

If you would like to check how many flexpoints you currently have and/or are currently utilizing, you can check the Usage-tab in your Funnel subscription (only available for Subscription owners).

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 100 increments. To get a detailed quote, please reach out to our support team or your contact person at Funnel.

Can I see my flexpoint consumption?

If you are the Subscription owner you are able to track your flexpoint consumption in the Usage-tab in the Subscription section of Funnel. You will be able to see how many flexpoints you have left and what it consuming 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 consumption, i.e. consumption 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 consume any flexpoints, therefore, we have included the (potential) additional Workspaces in the Subscription setup section.
