Plans & Pricing - Comparing Essentials vs Premium

Showcase has two plans to choose from: the Essentials plan and the Premium plan. 

When evaluating your needs, you may wish to consider a few things to help you determine which plan is right for you: do you want your listings on top of every search? Do you plan on integrating with a 3rd party CRM (like Follow Up Boss or LionDesk)?  Are you looking for more modern map styles?  Is lead routing important to you?  If so, then the Premium plan may be best suited for you!

The Premium plan also boasts more content displayed on each listing detail page, so what your leads can see will differ but both plans have access to the same search subscriptions and listing recommendations for your leads.  All of our features can be found here!

If you are trialing our product, you are trialing the Premium plan.  When you're ready to activate your own account, you will need to choose between the Essentials and Premium plans.

Plan Pricing & Billing

Now, let's talk about some pricing considerations!  We offer two different billing frequencies for your subscription: monthly or yearly.

There is a discount if you sign up for a yearly plan: two months free!  Essentially, you are paying for 10 months instead of 12 months. All of your add-ons (additional websites, additional users, pass-thru fees) will be charged along with your yearly plan.

*Plus any MLS Pass-thru fees would apply per website license

Please be sure to review our cancellation and refund policy prior to choosing a billing frequency.

Plan Changes/Add-ons for Billing

Should you choose to change your plan in the midst of a billing cycle, your next invoice will reflect the change and automatically adjust itself to reflect any prorated amount from the bill paid the previous month.

If you're on yearly billing and change your plan, add a website, more users, or another MLS with a pass-thru fee at any time after your yearly payment has been processed, the amount of time you used that add-on for the prepaid year will be added to your bill the following year, plus the charge for that product for the upcoming year.

Is this a Long-Term Contract?

There is no set-term contract when you use Showcase IDX, other than agreeing to our Terms of Service.  It is important to note that we are a subscription-based product.  You are opting into recurring payments that will continue to renew and authorize us to regularly draw your subscription price until you cancel your account. Please be sure to review our cancellation and refund policy as we do not offer refunds.

Which MLS's Get Premium Listing Content?

We receive the Premium Content for almost all of our MLS's, which the exception of the feed we have in Canada, CREA.  We do not receive school information (name of school or district) or our premium listing data content.  Our CREA customers can however still use our other great Premium features- such as the left-side map display, registration settings, etc.

Still not sure?  We recommend signing up for our free trial, which has all of the awesome Premium content unlocked for you to try!  You can also view our IDX Product demo online!
