FusionAuth has introduced a new billing option that allows users to purchase an annual subscription online, simplifying the process of acquiring their customer identity platform. This change, which has been live for a few weeks, offers users the flexibility of selecting either monthly payments or a one-time annual payment with a discount ranging from 4 to 10 percent. Customers can choose between self-hosting FusionAuth or utilizing the managed FusionAuth Cloud service, and select from different product tiers such as Community, Starter, Essentials, or Enterprise based on their needs and projected monthly active users. For those currently on a monthly credit card plan, FusionAuth provides assistance for transitioning to the annual plan, and offers support for invoiced billing, multi-year discounts, and large MAU volume plans through consultations with their sales and technical experts.
