Common pricing models
- Free plan: ongoing use with visit, feature, user, or location limits.
- Monthly or annual subscription: predictable access, often with an annual discount.
- Usage based: price or access changes with visits, messages, or transactions.
- Per location or staff user: cost grows with the operation.
- Feature tiers: reporting, exports, roles, integrations, and support unlock by plan.
- Enterprise quote: negotiated software, implementation, security, and support scope.
Costs beyond the headline fee
Ask about kiosks, ticket printers, displays, tablets, SMS or WhatsApp charges, onboarding, data migration, API access, integrations, training, premium support, taxes, and cancellation terms. A browser-based queue can avoid dedicated hardware, but still requires suitable devices and internet access.

When a free plan is enough
A free plan can suit a pilot or a modest single-location queue. It is not automatically a temporary trial; verify whether it is ongoing and what happens at its limit. In BuildMint Queue, reaching the visit limit blocks new entry creation but leaves existing queues, tracking, actions, and plan-available reporting operational.
When custom development changes the budget
Custom software adds discovery, design, engineering, testing, infrastructure, security, monitoring, support, and continued improvement. It can be justified when specialized workflows or integrations create enough value, but it should not be compared with SaaS using only the subscription line item. Read the broader custom software versus SaaS framework.
