ROI
Most customers save the cost of a Pro subscription in the first month, and many save thousands of hours a year. Here's the rough math.
PER MARKETER, PER MONTH
Average time marketers spend searching for brand files. That's a person-week back, every quarter, per marketer.
PER FILE REQUEST
Average time spent finding, sharing, and re-explaining a file when someone asks for "the logo" or "that campaign image."
ON ASSET CREATION
Average reduction in duplicated asset creation when teams can't find what already exists. Less reinventing, more reusing.
THE BOTTOM LINE
A Pro subscription typically pays for itself in the first month for a 2-person marketing team.
Figures based on independent research and customer surveys. Individual results vary by team size and asset volume.
No surprises
Two paths, your choice. Pay $1/GB for overages when you go over your plan's Usage— straightforward, no trapdoors. Or pick up an Expansion Pack and save up to 67%.
PAY-AS-YOU-GO
Use what you need. We invoice the difference at the end of the month (or year on annual plans).
OR EXPAND
Add capacity at discounted volume rates. 100GB, 500GB and 1TB packs available.

A: Our buying process is hands on and requires a face to face meeting with one of our team - usually by video call.
A: Yes you can get a free trial. You can contact us to request a free trial. Once we qualify you, we'll set you up with a free trial. This free trial runs for up to 1 month, but can be extended as long as you need to make a decision. Just contact us to ask for an extension.
A: Absolutely. You can change your Plan, add expand your Usage capacity, Or do more design customization, at any time. If you make a change, well adjust the your invoice to account for the change from the next invoice date for monthly subscriptions, or we'll send an adjustment invoice for annual subscriptions at out next invoicing cycle (typically at the end of each calendar month). To make a change, contact us
A: Usage is a combination of the storage space for your files, and the traffic used for Uploads, Downloads, Shares, Transfers and CDN (measured in GB) in any given month. Storage is the maximum amount of disk space occupied by your Assets during the month. For example - let's say that an Asset in storage of 20MB (a common size for a high res image) is downloaded 6 times in a month (we count that as 140MB or 0.14GB of Usage). Your Usage is shown in the Reports module in your Brandkit account.
A: The number of files (e.g. logos, photos, videos, pdfs, etc) that you can store per plan will vary considerably based on the file format, file size, resolution, number of pages in a PDF, lenth of a video or audio, etc.
In Brandkit you typically store the high res version of Photos and our Conversions feature will offer smaller downloable files for users to choose from - saving you space. You can also use the Link asset feature to find Asset/Files stored elsewhere. This includes linking to YouTube videos (which normally consume a lot of space and traffic if uploadwed as a file) which consumes very little storage space or traffic in Brandkit.
Rule of thumb:
A: If you exceed your plans included Usage in any month — we'll charge you the overage charge for each GB over your current plan's included Usage, unless you upgrade your plan by purchasing an Expansion pack. You can upgrade at anytime, by contacting us. For example, if you are on a plan with 100GB Usage, and you use 120GB, we'll invoice you $20 for the overage (20GB x $1).
Note than if you are on an annual plan, we'll invoice overage at the end of the year. and we'll take into account the whole year - so that if you are over in some months, and under in others, it might balance out so that overages don't apply.
A: Annual Plans are billed at the start of each annual period for 12 months in advance. In contrast Monthly Plans are billed at the start of each monthly period in advance. In both cases, the invoice is dated on whichever day the paid plan starts, and repeats every 12 months (annual) or every calendar month (monthly) until canceled. Overages are billed monthly or annually in arrears depending on whether your plan is a monthly or annual subscription. Depending on the plan selected, a discount may be available for an Annual Plan.
A: Yes - you can cancel your account at anytime whether an Annual or Monthly subscription.
Note the following, when you cancel.
A: Yes indeed. We realize many of our Customers, have a lot users who only visit once or twice, at best occasionally - making per-user pricing an expensive option. Instead of charging for users, we charge based on Usage (Assets stored and Assets Uploaded, Downloaded, Shared, etc) irrespective of the number of users.
A: Usage has two components - file storage and traffic. It's easy to work out how much file storage you need, by looking at your the files you want to manage in the DAM (high res versions only) and how much space those files occupy on your computer or on your network storage devices, and in online storage services like Dropbox, etc, and adding up the storage space those files are using.
The traffic component is a little harder to predict, as traffic tends to fluctuate month to month. Most customers can get by with a 1:1 ratio of storage to traffic. However your traffic may be a higher in some circumstances. Such as when you have a lot of users, or have a lot of video content combined with a lot of users, etc. And if you have a lot of files archived but limited traffic (common with customers on the Team Edition with fewer users) you might find a 1:1 ratio of storage to traffic works for you.
Traffic is driven by a few factors:
- Number of Users
- Average file size
- Popularity of your Brand/Content
- How many Videos you have
- Whether you are using the Embed feature (where every view counts towards CDN traffic). This is particularly important to consider if you are embedding videos on highly trafficked websites.
If you have have a lot of users, or your content is popular, or you have many videos (which are relatively large), or are using the Embed feature, then it's likely your Traffic will be higher (greater than a 1:1 ratio).
In this case you should consider a larger Usage plan (even if you don't need the Storage), because you'll need the Traffic. This will save you approx 50% of any overage costs should they occur.
One strategy is to start small, pay the overage costs, and see how it goes, and then upgrade later.
A: Any user belonging to a User Role with access to the Admin area of your account is regarded as an "Admin" for access, reporting and billing purposes. Including the default out-of-the-box User Roles - "Admin" and "Owner".
A: Owner is an explicit role in Brandkit and is explicitly appointed. The Owner role has all the rights of an Admin and few more. Each account can have multiple owners.
A: Yes, ask us about discounted rates for higher committed Usage (storage, traffic and tokens).
A: Yes we do, ask us about discounted rates for registered charities.
A: Setup is the overall term we use to cover both account configuration, onboarding and custom design services.
A: The Setup Fee covers: account setup and configuration, branding your Portal, a custom domain name, custom design, orientation and training for account admins, and in some cases migration of content assets from legacy systems. Fees vary from $500 to $5000 or more, depending on each customers product edition and requirements which vary widely. We will discuss costs in a demo call, and will quote once we have detailed requirements. You can also see an overview of onboarding costs here.
A: It means our team sets everything up for you. When you come on board, we configure your account, set up your data structure and permissions, and tailor everything to how your team actually works — so you start with a fully working system, not a blank platform you have to build yourself.
A: The Custom Design fee covers setting up a design project based on a design brief from the customer. The custom design process includes gathering of your requirements and design assets (e.g. logos, images, fonts, icons, etc), coding a custom design theme, coding custom pages and navigation, reviewing with the customer, making edits and changes, and finally deploying the custom design to your Brandkit Brand Portal. Custom design costs vary widely, but range from as low as $1k to $tens of thousands, dependent on customer requirements and the design brief provided.
A: Most customers will save hundreds, if not thousands of hours over a year. Learn more about Brandkit's Return On Investment here.
A: Enterprise Backup is an optional additional safety measure for larger organisations that require it. It is automated backup to a separate AWS S3 Storage Account/Bucket that the client owns and controls. Once setup we send a copy of your uploaded files (including all versions) to a nominated AWS S3 storage account. Uploaded files only, does not include Posts, Links or Metadata. More on this here.
A: We use Large Language Models (OpenAI and Gemini) to programmatically request image and video analysis for automated tagging and describing images and video. You can turn auto tagging on or off and you can edit the standard prompt used in your account settings (Admin > Settings > Automation). LLMs charge us a fee for Token use which we pass on to customers in the form of Usage (where 1M tokens = 1gb of Usage).
Token use varies based on the size of the prompt used and the resulting response from OpenAI's api.
For example auto-tagging and auto-describing an image takes around 3000 tokens per image depending on the prompt used and the response given. So as a rough guide 300,000 tokens will be needed to auto-tag and describe 100 images. 3 million Tokens will be needed to auto-tag and describe 1000 images. This usage rate may vary as LLM's develop their systems and update prices.
A: Yes, you can upgrade each Edition (Team, Pro and Enterprise with additional Usage at a discounted price by adding an Expansion pack to your plan. Expansion Packs are available at the following sizes: 100GB, 500GB, and 1TB. Prices for these Expansion Packs, are shown in the pricing section above. For more than 1TB we'll need to quote you.
