Benevolus is free to start with. You only pay when your events grow, and always for the tool: the volunteer never pays. Three modes are available, depending on your volume.
An assignment is one filled volunteer spot. Three volunteers on the same time slot count as 3 assignments. All prices are in Swiss francs (CHF) and net: Benevolus is not subject to VAT, so the amounts shown are the final prices.

​
The three modes at a glance

Pay-as-you-go

You pay event by event. The first 25 assignments of each event are free. Ideal for a few events a year.

Annual bundle

A yearly pool of assignments at a reduced rate, usable across all your events. Ideal from 3 events a year.

Unlimited

999 CHF per year, everything unlimited and all modules included. Ideal for high volumes and festivals.

Compare the three modes

​
Pay-as-you-go

Without a subscription, your organisation is automatically on pay-as-you-go. Each published event is billed by its number of assignments, and the first 25 assignments of each event are free. The price follows a degressive curve: the larger the event, the less each spot costs. In-between sizes are calculated between these benchmarks. Beyond 500 assignments, the price keeps rising, capped at 999 CHF per event. Amounts are rounded to the nearest 5 centimes.
An event stays free as long as it does not exceed 25 assignments. You only pay when you publish the event, and only if it is billable.

​
Annual bundle

The bundle gives you a pool of assignments valid for one year, to spread across as many events as you like. Three tiers: Any unused pool is carried over to the next year on renewal. If you use up your pool, each extra assignment is billed at the reduced rate shown.
Example: with the Bundle 200 (349 CHF/year), a festival of 250 assignments draws 200 spots from the pool; the remaining 50 are billed at 2 CHF, i.e. 100 CHF.

​
Unlimited

999 CHF per year. Unlimited events, posts and assignments, no billing on publish, and all add-on modules included. This is the mode for high-volume organisations and recurring festivals.

​
Add-on modules

Some advanced features are modules unlocked once for your whole organisation (one-time purchase, valid for life). They are included in the Unlimited mode.

​
How payment works

Benevolus issues an invoice when you publish a billable event, or when you subscribe to a bundle. Payment is by bank transfer, via a Swiss QR-bill, due within 30 days. There is no credit card and no automatic debit. See Invoices and payment for details.

​
Choosing or changing your mode

From your organisation, open the Licences tab: it shows your current plan and your modules, and the Change plan button lets you subscribe to a bundle or switch to Unlimited at any time.
