Pricing Explained: How to Choose the Right Plan for Multi-Branch Businesses

Why Pricing Confuses Multi-Branch Businesses

SaaS pricing is usually based on a single business. But multi-branch operations have different needs: more users, more locations, and more complex workflows. Here is how to think about pricing for your specific situation.

The Three Pricing Variables

1. Number of Users

Most SaaS plans charge per user. For multi-branch businesses, count all staff who need access across all locations.

• Solo Module: Up to 5 staff users (good for a single branch with 2-3 staff)
• Business Plan: Up to 15 staff users (covers 2-3 branches with 4-5 staff each)
• Complete Plan: Up to 50 staff users (for 5+ branches with full teams)

2. Number of Locations

Each branch needs its own configuration, staff assignments, and reporting. More locations mean more data and more complexity.

3. Feature Requirements

Different businesses need different features:
• Basic: Lead management, customer database, basic reporting
• Advanced: Multi-branch support, role management, approval workflows
• Premium: AI insights, revenue forecasting, workflow automation

Decision Matrix

| Scenario | Recommended Plan | Monthly Cost | |----------|-----------------|-------------| | 1 branch, 3-5 staff | Solo Module | Rs 999 | | 2 branches, 8-12 staff | Business Plan | Rs 1,899 | | 3 branches, 15-25 staff | Complete Plan | Rs 2,499 | | 5+ branches, 25+ staff | Complete Plan | Rs 2,499 | | 10+ branches, 50+ staff | Contact Sales | Custom |

Example Calculations

Scenario A: Two-Branch Training Academy

• 2 locations with 4 staff each = 8 total users
• Needs: fee tracking, attendance, lead management
• Recommended: Business Plan at Rs 1,899/month
• Per user cost: Rs 237/month

Scenario B: Multi-Location Rental Business

• 3 locations with 5 staff each = 15 total users
• Needs: inventory sync, booking calendar, dispatch tracking
• Recommended: Complete Plan at Rs 2,499/month
• Per user cost: Rs 167/month

Scenario C: Enterprise Event Company

• 10 locations with 10 staff each = 100 total users
• Needs: full ERP with custom workflows
• Recommended: Contact sales for enterprise pricing

Cost Comparison: vs Manual Systems

When comparing SaaS costs, factor in the hidden costs of manual systems:

| Cost Item | Manual System | 1Grow | |-----------|--------------|-------| | Admin staff time | 20 hours/week | 5 hours/week | | Missed fee collections | 5-10% of revenue | < 1% | | Staff overtime | Frequent | Minimal | | Error correction | 2-3 hours/week | Near zero |
