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

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

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