Licence, infrastructure and transparent settlements.
SaaS Drive charges licence and infrastructure fees. Subscription revenue is kept in a separate account and transferred to the partner every four months in full. Under a standard licence we do not take a commission on subscription revenue; where SaaS Sales Drive is added, a commission applies — 50% of subscription revenue up to 100 accounts, renegotiated at the 101+, 501+, 1,000+ and 1,000-plus levels with CloudStrom. Which components apply, and at what level, is defined in the applicable agreement and Order Form.
How a partnership is priced
Licence fee
A recurring fee for the right to operate and commercialize the software. Billed monthly, quarterly, annually or multi-year.
Initial setup fee
A one-time implementation fee covering platform configuration, white-label setup, branding, domain configuration, payment configuration, commercial configuration and initial onboarding.
Infrastructure fee
A fee covering the technology, hosting, security, maintenance, updates and operational infrastructure that powers the platform. Under a standard licence, SaaS Drive does not take a commission on subscription revenue.
Managed marketing fee
Where SaaS Drive manages customer acquisition: a fixed monthly management fee, a percentage of advertising expenditure, a cost per acquired customer, a commission on generated revenue, or a combination. Advertising budgets may be billed separately.
Exclusive territory fee
An additional fee may apply where a partner receives exclusive rights, depending on population, market size, product, industry, territory, commercial potential and duration of exclusivity.
Two separate accounts
Subscription revenue and SaaS Drive fees are kept in separate accounts. The partner receives all subscription revenue every four months, regardless of the licence and infrastructure fees owed to SaaS Drive. Under a standard licence, no commission or revenue share is taken from subscriptions. This example excludes SaaS Sales Drive, which is paid as a commission on subscription revenue.
A fixed, negotiated fee for the right to use the software and the infrastructure that runs it. Invoiced and settled under its own terms.
If customers pay €100,000 in subscriptions under a standard licence, the partner receives the full €100,000 every four months. Fees do not reduce this amount. Where SaaS Sales Drive is added, the agreed Sales Drive commission is deducted first.
Subscription payouts every 4 months
Subscription revenue collected from customers is transferred to the partner every four months. This is independent of the licence and infrastructure fees, which are invoiced and settled under their own terms.
