Pay as you go

Real estate is not predictable. Shoots spike. Seasons shift. Clients call last minute. Pay as you go is your safety net when you go beyond your plan. You keep working. You only pay for the extra usage.

Why creators use pay as you go

  • Flexible cashflow. Pay only when you exceed your plan.

  • No downtime. Keep delivering even after you hit your limit.

  • Control. Review usage, then decide to upgrade or stay put.

  • Freedom to grow. Say yes to extra work without waiting for renewal.

How it works

1) Enable pay as you go

  1. In the dashboard, click the Remaining listings banner on the top right.

  2. Review the details.

  3. Click Enable pay as you go.

2) Keep creating when you hit your plan limit

When your included usage runs out (for example listings, photos, twilights, staging, etc.), Fotello will:

  • Prompt you for consent (if pay as you go isn’t enabled), then

  • Continue creating using pay as you go once you confirm

3) Understand the rate

Pay as you go pricing depends on which plan you're on.

If you expect regular pay as you go usage, upgrading is usually cheaper. Use Change Plan to increase your commitment.


When you’re charged

Charged on your next invoice

Pay as you go usage is added to your next invoice. Invoices are triggered automatically by our system. Timing depends on your plan and your credit history with Fotello.

To view invoices:

  1. Go to Settings → Plan & Billing → Invoices.

If you upgrade mid-cycle

If you upgrade mid-cycle:

  • Any accrued pay as you go usage is settled at that point.

If you cancel

If you cancel, we first settle any outstanding balance for the current cycle. That includes any pay as you go usage.


See your usage anytime

Go to Settings → Plan & Billing → Pay as you go Usage to see a running total for the current cycle. You’ll also see a detailed breakdown for every dollar (and cent) charged. This includes extra listings, photo edits, twilights, staging and more.

Smart ways to save

  • Upgrade before a busy stretch. Higher commitment usually lowers your unit cost.

  • Consider annual if you’re seasonal. Annual gives you a full year of listings upfront.

  • Use pay as you go as your buffer. Keep it on, then review monthly.
