Best value: the Community Program. It gives the briefing to every resident on their own devices and adds the whole Library, and it is the only community level with Listen, the 50% Sales credit, the 15% annual discount and the founding price hold.
The Sales Plan is its own product. It works on its own, or alongside Tier 1, Tier 2 or the Community Program. No email-delivery charges on any plan. Group discounts for several communities apply to the Community Program and the Sales Plan. Discounts are counted separately for each product: Sales Plans count toward the Sales Plan discount, and community plans count toward the community discount.

Its own product. A sales office can buy it on its own, or alongside Tier 1, Tier 2 or the Community Program. The 50% Sales credit applies only with the Community Program: then half of what the sales office pays comes off the Program bill. Each prospect gets the daily briefing free for 365 days, as your community's gift.
| Sales Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Setup | $200 one time, waived for founding communities |
| Up to 150 people on your list | $100 a month |

- Free trial first. Pricing starts after the free trial: 30 days for the Sales Plan. In the Founding Sales Partner campaign the trial is 60 days, with 4 trials for each community type (life-plan, rental or 55+), 12 in total, through February 28, 2027.
- After the free trial, the Sales Plan has a 3-month minimum, then month to month. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
- Listen is included at no charge once the plan is paid, not during the trial.
- A Community Program community's sales office can add a referral message when it sends the briefing to residents, at no extra charge.
- When the sales office includes residents, the free trial applies (30 days, or 60 days in the Founding Sales Partner campaign), and Listen is included as it is for the Sales Plan. The 50% Sales credit applies under its usual rule: it lowers a Community Program community's bill when that community's sales office joins, and it stays with the Community Program.
- A sales office that signs up for the Sales Plan during the founding period and includes residents gets founding rates on its whole total, residents included: the $200 setup fee waived and its price held for 24 months from its start date. Founding ends February 28, 2027, or sooner when the places fill.
- Founding communities keep their price for 24 months.
- Several communities get the same group discount as the Community Program, on top of the 15% yearly discount. Discounts are counted separately for each product: Sales Plans count toward the Sales Plan discount, and community plans count toward the community discount. See the discounts.
Discounts for several communities
Operators with more than one community get a lower price on every community, based on how many they enroll. It applies to the Community Program and to the Sales Plan, and it is added on top of the 15% yearly discount. Tier 1 and Tier 2 have no quantity discount.
Discounts are counted separately for each product: Sales Plans count toward the Sales Plan discount, and community plans count toward the community discount.

| 2–5 communities | 5% off |
| 6–10 communities | 10% off |
| 11–25 communities | 15% off |

| 51 or more communities | 25% off |
Founding communities
Founding pricing goes to communities that sign up by February 28, 2027 and are among the first 10 of each community type (life-plan, rental or 55+), or 25 in total, whichever comes first. Community Program and Sales Plan prices are held for 24 months from each community's start date. Tier 1 and Tier 2 have no founding pricing.
