Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing

Any questions you might have about our pricing and subscriptions.

What does “Try Free” mean?

You can draft, create and test your opportunity absolutely for free. You’ll even be able to take up to 6 submissions before we ask you to upgrade to a paid subscription.

Are there any setup costs

No, you can register right away and have your opportunity opened within minutes.

What does this pricing include?

Everything above, unlike some of our competitors we don’t charge for any “extras”. No setup costs, training fees, hidden fees, storage fees…

You package has:

  • Unlimited opportunities (programs, awards, competitions…)
  • Unlimited categories
  • Unlimited fields on your application form
  • Unlimited uploads (no limits on file upload sizes, but we wouldn’t advise loading 1Gb for judges!)
  • Unlimited judges
  • Unlimited rounds (in our pro plan)
Why should I pay per year?

If the massive discount isn’t enough, there’s also less administration involved. One invoice once a year, instead of 12.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time.

To protect candidates, we will require you to manually close all on-going opportunities to cancel your subscription.

How many submissions should I buy?

If you don’t know how many submissions you will be receiving, select the amount you are expecting. We’ll let you know when you start running out of submissions so you can upgrade.

Do I need to pay for each call out / programme ?

No, you can create as many competitions as you would like with one subscription.

What counts as a submission?

A submission is counted once a candidate completes an entry for one of your opportunities.

Draft submissions and submissions removed by candidates are not counted.

Is VAT included in these prices?

Yes, you can see VAT breakdown on all of your invoices.

When do submissions reset?

Submission reset a year after your subscription began.

Your subscription is created when your account was created.

Do you provide invoices?

Absolutely, you can download your invoices at any time from your invoices page.

Do you offer discounts?

Our pricing structure was created to allow our services to be affordable to individuals, charities and for-profit organisations alike. For that reason we do not offer discounts.

What happens when I stop paying?

Zealous will automatically freeze any ongoing submissions and judging, and stop recommending your opportunity to our network as soon as the period you have paid for runs out (e.g. at the end of the paid year/month).

You won’t be able to take any actions on any entries you have taken, but you will still have access to your dashboard and be able to download the data for your programmes collected to date.

You can unfreeze your account at any point.
