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

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

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Lumanu 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 to consider in negotiations
– Reliability & login
– A minority of Spendbase clients report serious login/reset issues and occasional glitches or timeouts.
– Feature gaps
– Some functionality removed over time (e.g., invoicing for some use cases).
– International payments not fully mature for all regions yet.
– Limited platform coverage (e.g., TikTok, some newer IG formats).
– Limited advanced ad controls (frequency caps, custom audience saving, some campaign controls).
– Visibility & self‑service
– Hard for brands to see the creator-side experience.
– Troubleshooting half‑completed onboarding often requires support.
– Some clients wish for better organization of creator payments by campaign.

How this should guide your Spendbase discount strategy
– Emphasize ROI on time saved for finance and marketing teams.
– Push for:
– Volume-based discounts given heavy creator payment throughput
– Clauses around uptime/support SLAs due to reported glitches
– Flexibility on contract length until international and missing ad features catch up
– For teams replacing internal AP workflows, it’s usually worth more aggressive price negotiations, as the platform becomes “critical infrastructure” once adopted.
