Questions about pricing
Who can buy BitHive?
Businesses only. At checkout you confirm that you are buying as a business and give your company name and address. All prices are net, plus VAT where applicable. For businesses only (entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code); not available to consumers.
Is there a free plan?
No. Each company can try the service once, free of charge, for 14 days. When you order online, you add a payment method at the start; nothing is charged during the trial. Unless you cancel online before the trial ends, the plan you chose starts afterwards. We send you an e-mail reminder at least seven days before the first charge (Section 2.4 of the Terms).
How can I pay?
BitHive UG (haftungsbeschränkt) sells directly. You order online and pay with one of the payment methods offered at checkout, for example by card; your payment method is charged in advance for each billing period. On request, we also invoice annual plans and Enterprise contracts; you then pay by bank transfer within 14 days of receiving the invoice. For businesses only. All prices plus VAT. Customers in other EU countries with a valid VAT ID are invoiced without German VAT (reverse charge); customers outside the EU are invoiced without German VAT.
Do I need a VAT ID?
For a company in Germany, no: German VAT applies either way. For a company in another EU country, yes, at present: we confirm the VAT ID through the EU's VIES service and invoice without German VAT (reverse charge).
How much does yearly billing save?
Two months: you pay for 10 and get 12. The crossed-out price next to a yearly price, labelled “12 × monthly price”, is what 12 monthly payments would cost. Switching from monthly to yearly takes effect at once, with credit for the unused month; switching from yearly to monthly takes effect at the end of the year.
What counts as a product, a legal entity or a controller?
A product is any model, edition or app you sell separately; all its releases count as one product, with up to 25 monitored releases per product. For NIS2, each legal entity you report for counts as one unit; for GDPR, each controller entity. If you need more, move up a plan.
Who needs a user seat?
Everyone who signs in, whatever their role. Your largest plan sets the number of included users for the whole account; each additional login costs €10 a month. An open invitation counts as a seat until it is accepted or withdrawn, or expires. Alerts to Slack, Teams or a webhook need no seat.
Can we combine several modules?
Yes, in one account with one pool of users. Two modules save 5 %, three save 10 % on the module prices; seats and add-ons are not discounted.
How long do you keep our records, and can we take them with us?
Case records, reports and the audit trail are kept for 24 months, or 120 months with the retention add-on (included in Enterprise), as long as your subscription runs. You can download everything as one archive at any time, and for 30 days after your contract ends.
What happens if a payment fails?
We write to you on day 7. From day 15, or at once if the first charge after your trial fails, the account is read-only – monitoring, alerts for new matches and the deadline clocks keep running – and the subscription is cancelled on day 30.
Can we change plan or cancel?
Moving up takes effect at once and is charged pro rata; moving down takes effect at the end of the billing period. Monthly plans renew every month and can be cancelled effective at the end of the current contract month. Yearly plans renew for a further twelve months unless cancelled with one month’s notice before the end of the term. A plan change deletes no evidence, unless you shorten the retention period (Terms 7.6 (c)); open deadlines keep running until they are closed.
