Intersink bills after use. Each app on each channel has a monthly price, and at the end of the month you get one invoice for what you actually ran. It is how we think software should be paid for, by a corner shop and by a group with many brands alike.
A lot of business software asks for money before it has done anything. We would rather send the bill once the work is done, and let the invoice speak for itself.
An invoice after the month describes what you actually used. An invoice in advance describes what someone hoped you would use.
If an app does not earn its place, you remove it and stop paying. We have to keep earning your money every month, which is how it should be.
The start of a business, a branch or a brand is when money is tightest. Paying after use keeps it in your account while you find your feet.
A one-person shop and a group with twenty brands pay the same price for the same app. Size changes how much you use, not what each thing costs.
49 apps, each priced per channel per month, free to install today.
Each of the 49 apps has its own monthly price, free to install today. You install only the ones you need.
A channel is one brand or line of business. Two channels using the same app pay for it twice, because each gets its own data and settings.
Prices are monthly. An app installed or removed mid-month is billed only for the days it was there.
At the end of each month, every business gets one invoice covering all its channels. Nothing is charged up front.
Free and promotional credits are used before your card is charged, and the invoice shows both.
Prices are shown before tax. UK VAT, or US sales tax where it applies, is added on the invoice, with your VAT number if you add one.
Instead of a trial that runs out, you pay after use. Try an app for a week and you pay for a week.
No annual contract and no notice period. Remove an app, or close a channel, whenever you like.
Add apps to a channel. Nothing is charged.
Add or remove apps and channels. Each is counted by the days it was installed.

Illustrations, not customers. Every total below is added up from the apps’ current monthly prices, per channel, before tax.

If approved for Small business credits of £4,000, they would cover the app charges for about 0 months, before any of it reaches the card.
Two branches of the same practice, with a lab and a shared team.
| Channel | Apps | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| The practice, both branches | Clinic Free · Bookings Free · Lab Tests Free · Workforce Free | Free |
| One invoice, before tax | Free | |
Two branches of the same brand usually share one channel, so each app is priced once. If the second branch ran as a separate brand, it would be its own channel with its own apps.

Four channels under one business means one invoice, with each brand’s apps listed separately so every manager can see what their brand costs.
A general comparison with upfront and seat-based software, not any particular product.
| Question | Upfront or per seat | Pay after use on Intersink |
|---|---|---|
| When you pay | Up front, for a year or a term | After each month, for what was installed |
| What you pay for | Seats or a bundle tier, used or not | Each app on each channel, by the days it was installed |
| Trying something new | A trial that ends, then a plan to choose | Install it; if it does not fit, remove it and pay for the days used |
| Growing | Move up to the next tier or buy more seats | Add one app, or one channel |
| Shrinking | Wait for the renewal date | Remove it today |
| Many brands | A separate contract or account per brand | One account, and one invoice per business across all its brands |
| Leaving | Notice periods and exit terms | No contract to end |
The World Bank counts nine in ten businesses worldwide as small or medium-sized, providing more than half of all jobs, and in emerging economies they can produce 40% of GDP. Yet much of the software they need is sold the way it is sold to large companies: in advance, in bundles, by the year.
When getting organised costs one app for one month instead of a year of a suite, more small firms can afford proper invoices, records and customer lists. That is not a promise about any one business. It is why we chose this model.
