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

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

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Checkeeper 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 Checkeeper is generally a strong fit for teams that want to modernize check payments fast, but there are a few cost and feature gaps to watch closely.

Key positives our Spendbase clients highlight:

• Very easy onboarding
• Simple, intuitive interface
• Fast to deploy in urgent situations
• Strong time savings for AP and payroll
• Professional-looking checks and more secure workflows
• Helpful support team

From what clients tell us, Checkeeper works especially well in these scenarios:

• Small businesses moving from manual checks to an online workflow
• Teams that need remote approval and e-signing instead of wet signatures
• Companies that want checks printed and mailed for them, not in-house
• Businesses that need solid, but not overly complex, AP tooling

Main friction points our internal data surfaces:

1) Pricing and credits
– Credits-based pricing feels confusing and “cost prohibitive” to some clients
– Pre-buying credit bundles is a turnoff for cost-conscious finance teams
– Monthly cost feels high for very low check volumes (e.g., one check per week)
– For early-stage companies, every extra SaaS dollar hurts

2) Features and customization
– Limited “bells and whistles” for:
– Advanced search
– Filtering
– Reporting and analytics
– Lack of deeper personalization of check images and layouts
– Some features are not as straightforward to use as the core flows

3) Mobility and flexibility
– Field-heavy teams (e.g., contractors) want stronger mobile support
– On-the-go use cases are not fully covered by the current experience

Overall sentiment from Spendbase clients:

• Product satisfaction: High (many 5-star experiences and “critical to operations” comments)
• Perceived value: Mixed, depending heavily on:
• Check volume
• Stage of the business
• Need for advanced reporting and customization

Our Spendbase takeaway:

• For companies that send a steady to high volume of checks and want to get out of paper-and-pen processes, Checkeeper can be cost-effective and a major time saver.
• For very small or early-stage teams with low volume, we’d negotiate hard on pricing and carefully forecast usage, as the credit model and subscription level are the main levers to optimize.
