Number of Seats/Users: Qmarkets offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Qmarkets that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Qmarkets. Qmarkets reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Qmarkets offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Qmarkets. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Qmarkets often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Main pain points and risks
Our internal data also shows several recurring friction areas:
– Admin complexity: configuration menus and settings can feel dense; documentation and training sometimes feel heavy for new campaign managers.
– Reporting: clients want more self‑service, more flexible dashboards, and better user‑level statistics out of the box.
– UX gaps:
– Mobile experience and older UI versions called out as weaker than desktop
– Idea history and evaluation flows can be hard to follow when many people are involved
– Collaboration depth: some clients want stronger tools for real co‑creation (team formation, whiteboarding) beyond comments and voting.
– Translations: French and Dutch language quality and auto‑translation accuracy are raised multiple times.

Value and pricing perception
– Qmarkets is frequently described as “good value for money” and “competitive” given its capabilities.
– Several Spendbase clients were initially worried it might be “too much platform”, but found that starting small and scaling features over time worked well and protected budget.
