Plans and Pricing

---

PerkZilla Monthly Pricing Starts from $49 per month to upto $249 per month. The plans differs based on No. of Participants & Websites, Branding Pattern, Teammates & Sub-Accounts. Good thing to notice is all the advanced features are available in all tiers.

Starter plan is best for marketers who want to use this tool to grow their audience without expensive advertising campaigns and who are just getting started and don’t have huge targeted audience.

If you want to remove PerkZilla branding and also increase participant limit, then Growth Plan is perfect for you.

If you don’t want to get bounded by no. of participants, seeing yourself running unlimited campaigns and also in need of Team Accounts and 5 Starter plan sub-accounts then you can think of Unlimited plan which is a bit costlier compared to other two.
