The figures
| Monthly price shown, CEE applicants, 2026 (to date) | Bottom quarter up to | Median | Top quarter from |

| Consumer (B2C) | €12 |
In BADideas application data, the first price shown is usually the cheapest plan, so this is where a customer starts, not what the average customer pays.

What it means for you
- Most early prices are low. A price under €211 a month is the norm; test higher prices early, especially for businesses.
- Show more than one plan. Investors look at the gap between the entry plan and what larger customers pay.
- Price per seat or per use where value grows with use. A flat price caps what your best customers pay.
