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

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

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Keating 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 Keating is perceived as a strong, feature‑rich platform for managing online and in‑person teaching, with a few adoption hurdles you’ll want to plan for.

Main friction points
Our internal data shows that the biggest issues are not about bugs, but about onboarding effort:
– Learning curve:
– First contact feels more complex than it actually is.
– Users need to “get into the logic” of the platform before becoming efficient.
– Time to value:
– You should plan some training time for staff; otherwise, the richness of features can feel overwhelming.

Who gets the most value
– Training companies migrating existing video courses from other platforms.
– Schools and academies that need to blend classroom and digital sessions.
– Teams that care a lot about content protection and controlled access.

Spendbase discount & cost‑optimization angle
– Because the product is feature‑dense, unused modules can creep into your license mix over time.
– Our internal data shows that clients save the most when they:
– Align license tiers with actual course volume and number of instructors.
– Negotiate around expected roadmap features if those are critical.
– Budget for onboarding/training up front to shorten the payback period.
