How cost records work

Every vendor has a cost record. Where your own site publishes prices, the record works out your monthly cost and cost per invoice at 1,000, 5,000 and 25,000 invoices a month, using the pricing methodology. Where it does not, the record says quote only and shows your pricing model, any published payment fees, your ERP integrations and your segment.

Send us your real numbers

If your record says quote only, or misses a plan, send your current price list to hello@payablesbrief.com. Include:

We only carry figures we can publish. Your cost is computed with the same assumptions as every other vendor, and the change log records the date the figures were added.

The integrity rules

Payment pays for the work of checking and carrying your numbers. It never changes a cost figure, a rank, a “Best for” line or a verdict, and it never removes a fee or a catch. Rank inside a list comes from fit and cost at the stated volume. There is no way to pay for a higher position.

Records and list entries with a paid relationship carry a “Paid listing” label. Paid mentions in guides and research are labelled “Sponsored”. Vendor links are nofollow, and a paid mention adds sponsored.

Corrections

If anything on your record is wrong (a price, a fee, an integration), email the record URL, the correct information and the page on your site that shows it. We fix the record if the page confirms it and log the change with its date.
