What it Costs You - Choose your Partner Plan
BC is only for web designers — so you'll need to become a Partner first in order to sell BC to your clients. There are three levels of partnership with us, each with their own set of features and benefits. All fees listed on this page are one-time starting fees. There are no monthly fees for partners — only for your clients.
