At what monthly dues volume does PushPress Pro cost less than Free?
monthly cost = plan price + card% × card volume + ACH% × ACH volume + $0.30 × payments
Free → Pro: Δcard = 4.99% − 2.89% = 2.10% Δach = 2.89% − 0.79% = 2.10%
break-even = $159 ÷ 0.0210 = $7,571.43 of monthly dues (any card/ACH mix)
Pro → Max: Δcard = 2.89% − 2.75% = 0.14% Δach = 0.79% − 0.79% = 0%
break-even = ($229 − $159) ÷ 0.0014 = $50,000 of monthly card volume
The Free to Pro break-even works out to $7,571.43 a month in dues. Below it, the $0 plan costs less in total; above it, Pro does. Max only costs less than Pro above a break-even that works out to $50,000 a month in card payments (for example about 490 members paying $120 a month, 85% by card).
