Pricing FAQ.

Quick answers on billing, cancellation, and what's actually in Pro.

Is C$499 really all-in?
Yes. C$499 flat for a six-month term, which works out to about C$83 a month. That is the whole price, with no tax added at checkout. No setup fees, no per-seat charges. One subscription, one inbox.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. The Stripe customer portal link is in every Pro email. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current six-month term; you keep access through what you've paid for. No retention calls, no friction.
How much do I actually get per month?
One monthly newsletter (5 pages) plus two bi-weekly Market Trends briefs (2 pages each). About 9 pages of procurement intelligence per month, designed to be read in 10 minutes each. Total reading time across the month: roughly 30 minutes.
Can I expense this through my employer?
Yes — Pro is typically expensed as professional development, market research, or procurement intelligence. Stripe receipts include your company billing address. Email hello@steelpulsecanada.com if AP needs a custom invoice format.
Is there a team plan?
Not yet. Pro is currently a single-seat subscription. If you need to share with a team, email us — we'll work out a multi-seat arrangement.
Do you offer a free trial?
The free monthly brief is itself the trial — it shows you our writing, methodology, and judgement. If after reading a free issue you don't see the value of Pro, that's useful information for both of us. Subscribe free first.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Invoicing available on request — email us if your AP team needs one.

Cancel any time. No retention games.

Pro is billed as a six-month term. If a Pro issue isn't useful to you, the cancel link is one click away in every email. We'd rather you stay because the brief is good than because cancellation is a chore.
