Owner seat
from $20/mo
capped at $100/mo
- Starts at $20 — rises only with the storage plan you keep.
- Usage worth your base price is included every month.
- Every core feature included — estimates, scheduling, invoicing, portals, CRM.
From $20 a month.
Never more than $100.
Every seat comes with usage included. Busy months can only climb to the cap — past it, the extra is on us. One workspace, every feature, no surprise bills.
Free for your first month — every feature unlocked, no credit card required.
Member seat
$10/mo floor
capped at $30/mo
- $10 of usage included every month.
- Costs more only after its included usage — and the team pool — is used up.
- Same features as the owner seat, for admins, estimators, and crew leads.
Shared add-ons
adds allowance
fees prorate when active
- Accounting (+$20/mo): real double-entry books, and $20 of shared usage for the team.
- Website (+$10/mo): your public site, and $10 of shared usage for the team.
- The shared pool soaks up busy-team activity before anyone pays overage.
A solo owner with every add-on active (Accounting + Website) tops out at $130/mo before tax. 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, caps are hard, and partial months are prorated.
What a month looks like
See the bill before you read the meter.
Three real months, from quiet to flat-out — and what each one actually costs.
Light solo month
$20
An owner on the base plan whose month stayed inside the included usage.
Busy owner month
max $100
A flat-out month. Billing stops at the $100 cap — everything past it is free.
Member month
$10-$30
Members start at $10 with usage included and can never exceed $30.
How billing works
The meter is designed to be auditable.
Every bill can be rebuilt from the event log. Activity is allocated in chronological order so the first work that happens gets the first available allowance.
1
Seat allowance
Seat activity first uses that person's included monthly allowance.
2
Shared pool
If add-ons are active, their shared allowance is used next.
3
Monthly cap
Overage is billed only until the seat reaches its cap.
4
Beyond cap
Anything beyond the cap is not billed to the customer.
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.
Can a heavy month create a runaway bill?
No. Owner seats and member seats both have monthly caps. Beyond-cap usage is recorded for audit, but not billed.
What happens when seats or add-ons change mid-month?
They prorate from the active date, including the allowance that comes with them.
Why does storage affect owner pricing?
Storage drives platform cost, so the owner floor follows the peak storage tier for the month — so you only pay for the storage you actually keep, and billing stays predictable.
