Proof Business Pro | Pricing and Platform FAQs
Proof Business Pro offers a free account with no setup or monthly fees, charging only per transaction with costs varying by transaction type, and allows businesses to choose whether they or the transaction recipients pay these fees, with detailed pricing, payment settings, and incident priority information available through their website and help center.
How much does Business Pro cost?
It’s free to create a Business Pro account, with no setup costs, platform fees, or monthly minimums. You only pay per transaction, making it a flexible, usage-based model perfect for most businesses.
The cost of each transaction on the Business Pro plan varies based on transaction type and what is required to complete the transaction.
Pricing and account details can be found by visiting the Proof Pricing Page. For additional information about notarization costs, see this Help Center article.
Who is responsible for paying transaction fees on the Business Pro plan?
Companies have the choice to pay for each transaction or require recipients to pay as part of the transaction process.
- If the recipient pays: The recipient is prompted to pay after completing the transaction. Neither the recipient nor the business can access the completed transaction until payment is made.
- If the business pays: The recipient completes the transaction without seeing any payment prompt. The transaction cost is charged to the business via the payment method listed under Billing Settings.
Note: This payer setting applies to all transactions within the Business Pro account. Account Owners and Admins can update this setting at any time under Payer Settings.
