# Growth is listed as "from $100/month billed annually", what does that actually work out to?

Asked by tomas.b on 2026-08-25. Tags: pricing, growth-plan, billing.

I am building a budget line for this and the "from $100/month billed annually"
wording is throwing me off. Is $100 a monthly charge I get billed each month, or
is it a yearly commitment quoted as a monthly figure?

And what does the annual option actually save versus paying month to month. I
want the number spelled out before I put it in the sheet not a vague "you save by
committing".

It is a yearly commitment quoted per month. "From $100/month billed annually"
means you commit to a year and it works out to $100/month at the entry point,
so roughly $1,200 for the year paid up front rather than $100 charged twelve
separate times.

On the saving: annual billing saves up to 2 months compared with paying
monthly. So versus the month-to-month rate you are effectively paying for about
10 months and getting 12. That is where the "billed annually" discount comes
from.

One thing to keep straight for the sheet: $100 is the entry point, not a flat
price. Your actual figure depends on where your volume lands within the Growth
tier limits (MAU, slots, experiments). If you want to see what sits inside that
tier before you size it, [what Growth includes over free](/answers/growth-plan-whats-included)
lays it out.

Adding the bit that mattered for us: overage beyond the plan is pay-as-you-go
on Growth. So the annual commitment is the base, and if you run past the
included volume in a given month you are not forced into a bigger plan, you
just pay for the extra. Made the yearly number much easier to defend since a
busy month does not blow up the commitment. There is also a bit of
[room to negotiate on annual deals](/answers/annual-billing-negotiation-room)
worth knowing about if your spend is on the larger side.

Perfect, that is exactly what I needed. Booking it as an annual commitment
with the 2-month saving and a pay-as-you-go line for overage. Thanks both.
