Group card pricing for business: what a company plan really costs

Quick answer: SignThisCard's team plan is priced per seat, per year, in pounds. A seat costs £48 for 3–10 seats, falling to £22 for 251–500 seats, with a minimum of 3 seats. Only people who create cards need a seat. Signing is always free, and signers don't need an account.

If you've been asked to "find something for the whole company" for leaving cards and birthdays, the first question from finance will be how the pricing works. Per user? Per card? One flat fee?

This guide sets out group card pricing for business on SignThisCard at the time of writing (November 2026), with the full tier table, worked examples and the price cap that stops you overpaying near a tier boundary. For the bigger picture of how team accounts work, see our overview of group cards for companies.

Is business pricing per user, per card or per company?

Per seat, where a seat is one person who creates cards. You don't pay per card, and you don't pay for everyone in the company.

A seat lets one person create cards on the Unlimited plan for the paid year. That covers the people who organise cards: HR, team leads, office managers, EAs.

Everyone else signs for free. A 400-person company where 12 people organise cards needs 12 seats, not 400.

How much does a group card subscription for a business cost?

Between £22 and £48 per seat per year, depending on how many seats you buy. Every seat is charged at the price of the tier the whole order falls into.

Prices as shown on the SignThisCard plans page, November 2026:

The minimum order is 3 seats. The owner who sets up the team takes one of them.

For comparison, one person on the individual Unlimited plan pays £9.99 a month or £95.90 a year. A seat on even the smallest team tier is about half that yearly price.

Worked examples

These use the tier prices above:

• 3 seats (a small office with three organisers): 3 × £48 = £144 a year
• 20 seats (team leads in a mid-sized firm): 20 × £42 = £840 a year
• 51 seats: 51 × £30 = £1,530 a year
• 150 seats: 150 × £26 = £3,900 a year
• 300 seats: 300 × £22 = £6,600 a year
• 500 seats: 500 × £22 = £11,000 a year

What is the price cap?

If a slightly bigger order would cost the same or less, you automatically get the bigger number of seats for the lower price. It stops the odd situation where buying fewer seats costs more because you sit just below a cheaper tier.

Examples from the plans page:

• 10 seats would be £480, but 11 seats cost £462. You get 11 seats for £462.
• 25 seats would be £1,050, but 26 cost £936. You get 26 seats for £936.
• 45 seats would be £1,620, but 51 cost £1,530. You get 51 seats for £1,530.
• 95 seats would be £2,850, but 101 cost £2,626. You get 101 seats for £2,626.

Working through the tier prices, the cap applies to orders of 10 seats, 23–25 seats, 43–50 seats, 88–100 seats and 213–250 seats. In practice, if you're near a boundary, you'll often end up with a few spare seats for new organisers at no extra cost.

Who needs a paid seat, and is signing free?

Only people who create cards need a seat. Signing a card never needs a seat, is always free, and signers don't need an account.

Anyone with the signing link can add a message, a drawn signature and a photo. That includes colleagues, contractors, people in other offices and friends outside work.

Seats are allocated to the owner first, then team admins, then members in the order they joined. So if you buy 8 seats and 10 people join, the last two to join won't have a seat until you add more.

How to estimate your seat count:

1. List everyone who organises cards today: HR, office managers, EAs, team leads.
2. Add anyone who'd organise if it were easier, such as regional or department leads.
3. Round up to the nearest sensible number and check the price cap.

As an example, not a statistic: a 2,000-person company might need only 20–60 seats, one per person who organises cards.

Is there an annual plan for businesses?

Yes. Team plans are yearly only and paid in one payment for the whole team. There's no monthly team billing.

The owner pays by card through Stripe's secure checkout. The charge appears as one line, such as "Team plan, 51 seats, 1 year". The plan renews automatically each year, and Stripe emails a receipt.

Every payment has a Stripe invoice you can view and download as a PDF from the Team page. Finance teams should read our guide to invoices, purchase orders and VAT before ordering, because VAT is not currently added to SignThisCard invoices.

If your needs change during the year, you can add seats mid-year and pay pro rata. Reductions take effect from the next renewal.

Is there a free trial for business plans?

No, there's no free trial for team plans. You can try SignThisCard before buying seats in two ways.

• The Free plan: create one real card for up to 15 signers. It's a good test with a small team.
• The sample card: open a finished example card to see what a recipient sees, including messages, photos and the page-turning effect.

At the time of writing (November 2026), some competitors do offer trials. Kudoboard, for example, lists a free trial for its Business plan and prices its business plans by employee count, with monthly or annual billing. If a long hands-on trial with your whole company matters most, that may suit you better.

Common mistakes when budgeting

• Buying a seat for everyone. Signers never need one.
• Ordering just below a tier boundary. The price cap handles this, but it helps to know why you got extra seats.
• Forgetting renewal. The plan renews yearly. You can cancel renewal at any time and keep access until the end of the paid year.
• Assuming a purchase order is accepted. Self-serve purchase is card only. If you need bank transfer, a PO or more than 500 seats, contact the SignThisCard team to discuss an arrangement.

Key takeaways

• SignThisCard team plans cost £22–£48 per seat per year, with a minimum of 3 seats.
• Only people who create cards need a seat; signing is free and needs no account.
• Every seat is charged at the tier price the whole order falls into.
• The price cap gives you more seats automatically when a slightly larger order costs the same or less.
• Team plans are yearly only, paid by card through Stripe, and renew automatically.
• There's no free trial for team plans, but the Free plan and sample card let you test first.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a SignThisCard team plan cost?

At the time of writing (November 2026), seats cost £48 each for 3–10 seats, £42 for 11–25, £36 for 26–50, £30 for 51–100, £26 for 101–250 and £22 for 251–500, per year. For more than 500 seats, contact SignThisCard for a quote. The minimum order is 3 seats.

Do people who only sign the card need a seat?

No. Signing is always free, and signers don't need an account. Anyone with the signing link can add a message, photo and drawn signature. Seats are only for people who create and manage cards, such as HR, office managers and team leads.

Is there a monthly team plan?

No. Team plans are yearly only, paid as one card payment through Stripe for the whole team, and renew automatically. If you'd rather pay monthly, an individual organiser can use the Plus plan at £4.99 a month or Unlimited at £9.99 a month instead.

What happens if I order 10 seats?

You get 11 seats for £462. Ten seats at £48 would cost £480, which is more than 11 seats at £42. The price cap automatically gives you the bigger number of seats whenever a slightly larger order costs the same or less.

Can I try it before paying for seats?

Yes, though there's no team trial. Use the Free plan to create one card for up to 15 signers, and open the sample card to see the recipient's view. That gives you a feel for signing, photos and the finished card before you commit.

Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?

Self-serve purchase is by card only. Companies that need to pay by bank transfer, use a purchase order or buy more than 500 seats can contact SignThisCard to discuss setting up a team by arrangement. Nothing is guaranteed until it's agreed with you directly.

Conclusion

Group card pricing for business on SignThisCard is simple once you know the rule: pay a yearly seat for each person who creates cards, and nothing for the people who sign. Tiers fall from £48 to £22 a seat, and the price cap stops you paying more for fewer seats.

Count your organisers, check the tier, and start a team account on the Team page when you're ready, or try a free card first.
