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

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

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

Key friction points
Our internal data shows some consistent issues, which also become useful levers in pricing talks:

• Workflow gaps
• Limited flexibility in candidate statuses and interview round tracking (or not obvious).
• Restrictions like only job owners being able to submit candidates.

• Difficulty moving resumes between JDs; inability to delete some records.

• Performance & UX annoyances

• Occasional slowness or system hangups, especially on large manual uploads.

• Need to “go back again and again” from the pipeline; can’t always return to the same page.

• Data handling

• Bulk actions not always intuitive; some clients think bulk upload is missing.

• Duplicate CV handling used to be weaker, now improved but still a noted concern.

• Side modules still maturing

• Reporting tools could be richer.
• Payment/invoicing and offer letter generation seen as complex or basic.

How we use this at Spendbase
– Strong adoption around core ATS and engagement features means Klimb has value, but:
– Performance concerns and weaker reporting/billing modules justify pushing for discounts, service credits, or roadmap commitments.
– You can often negotiate better terms by tying spend to improvements in bulk actions, reporting, and offer management.
