Your accountant’s seat is free: the Accountant role is $0/mo, capped at $20/mo of usage, and doesn’t count against your seat limit. Add-on fees, storage tiers, taxes, and payment processing fees may vary, and all prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD). The promise is simple: included usage is used first, the caps are hard, and partial months are prorated.
What counts as usage
Priced the way you’d price a job.
A base price, an allowance, posted unit rates, and a cap on the seat. Everyday work draws on the usage included with your seat, a few cents at a time.
Scheduling, tasks, projects, and time tracking are not metered.
The starting price follows the files you keep
- Up to 500 MB
- $20/mo
- 500 MB to 2 GB
- $30/mo
- 2 to 5 GB
- $50/mo
- 5 to 10 GB
- $75/mo
- Over 10 GB
- $100/mo
Measured at the most you stored during the month. The $100 cap on the owner seat doesn’t move.

What a month looks like
What a month adds up to.
Three example months, worked from the rate sheet: one owner, no add-ons, under 500 MB stored, AI off.
A quiet month
$20
8 six-line quotes ($3.84), 8 invoices ($2.40), 30 emails ($1.50), 5 new clients ($0.25), and 25 four-megabyte photos ($1.00) come to $8.99 of usage. It's covered by the $20 included.
A busy month
$22
15 ten-line quotes ($12.00), 15 invoices ($4.50), 60 emails ($3.00), 10 new clients ($0.50), and 50 four-megabyte photos ($2.00) come to $22.00 of usage. $20 is included, so the bill is $22.
A flat-out month
$100
However much you quote, invoice, and send, the owner seat stops at $100. The rest of the month is on us.
How the bill is worked out
Every charge is logged as it happens.
Your bill is built from that log, in the order the work was done, so the first work of the month gets the first of your included usage.
1
Included usage
Each person's work first draws on the usage included with their seat.
2
What the team has left
Next it draws on usage teammates haven't used, and on the usage your add-ons bring.
3
Extra usage
Only after that are you billed for extra, a few cents at a time.
4
The cap
The owner seat stops at $100 and each extra person at $30. Past that you keep working and we stop charging. Add-on fees are separate.
Does Stairkey have a free trial?
Yes — your first month is free, with every feature and add-on unlocked, and no credit card is required. Paid usage starts only after the trial, as the workspace becomes active.
What counts as usage?
The everyday ones are creating a quote (40¢, plus 8¢ a line after the fifth), creating an invoice (30¢), sending an email (5¢ per recipient), adding a contact (5¢), and uploading files (1¢ per MB). A few less common actions are on the rate sheet above. Scheduling, tasks, projects, and time tracking are not metered. AI features are off until you switch them on and are priced per use, from about 5¢ to read a receipt.
Can a heavy month create a runaway bill?
No. The owner seat is capped at $100 a month and each extra person at $30. Usage past a cap is logged, never billed, and you keep working. Add-ons are flat fees on top: the books $20 and a website $10.
What is the most I can be billed in a month?
One owner: $100. One owner with the books: $120. One owner with the books and a website: $130. Each extra person adds between $10 and $30. All in Canadian dollars, before tax.
What happens when seats or add-ons change mid-month?
They prorate from the active date, including the usage that comes with them.
Does my accountant need a paid seat?
No. Invite your accountant or bookkeeper with the Accountant role and their seat is free: $0/mo, and it doesn't count against your team's seat limit. It carries the same $20 of usage room as a member seat, so it bills only for usage beyond what the team has included and can never exceed $20/mo.
Why does storage affect the owner's price?
Keeping files costs money to host, so the owner's starting price follows the most storage held during the month: $20 up to 500 MB, $30 up to 2 GB, $50 up to 5 GB, $75 up to 10 GB, and $100 beyond that. The $100 cap on the owner seat does not move.
