Number of Seats/Users: VAST 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 VAST 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 VAST. VAST reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: VAST 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 VAST. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

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

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that VAST is perceived as a “must‑have” rather than a “nice‑to‑have” for most teams, especially those working remotely.

From aggregated Spendbase client feedback, a few clear themes stand out:

1) Business impact and value
– Clients call out VAST as a “game changer” for:
– All‑virtual and hybrid teams
– Executive support and admin teams
– Organizations with heavy travel, conferences, and external meetings
– The biggest value driver is the ability to communicate “small but critical details” right inside the calendar, reducing:
– Back‑and‑forth emails
– Missed context for meetings
– Last‑minute confusion for execs

2) Product strengths
Our internal data shows that clients consistently highlight:
– Easy adoption:
– Simple extension on top of Google/Outlook
– Familiar calendar view with richer detail
– Context‑rich events:
– Templates tailored to different event types (conferences, charity events, internal meetings, etc.)
– Information always presented in a way that “matches the event”
– Seamless syncing:
– Events created outside of VAST still flow back into the app
– Low risk of duplicate work or data silos

3) Gaps and requested improvements
Spendbase clients are very positive but also clear about what they want next:
– More advanced functionality for:
– Email management tied to calendar events
– Deeper workflow automation around exec schedules
– Continued evolution rather than a static tool – expectations are high because the core product already solves a real pain.

4) What this means for budgeting and discounts
Given the strong perceived ROI and “can’t live without it” sentiment, most clients:
– Are comfortable with multi-seat and annual commitments when they see:
– A short rollout period
– Clear time savings for ops/admin staff
– Respond best to:
– Volume discounts for larger teams
– Incentives for longer contract terms, not heavy one-off discounts

In short, our data suggests VAST delivers strong operational value today, with clients eager to grow usage as new features (especially around email) are added.
