Cleverific pricing, and the tier where overage costs double

Cleverific publishes its whole rate card, which most of this category does not. It is also the only order editing vendor whose bill can grow faster than your usage, and the tier where that bites hardest is the middle one.

Redo makes a competing order editing app and it is free, so treat the comparison with the scepticism that deserves. Every figure below is from Cleverific's own pricing page, checked August 19, 2026.

What Cleverific publishes

PlanMonthlyIncluded editsOverage per editEffective in-plan rate
Growth$59100$0.79$0.59
Professional$119400$0.59$0.30
Premium Plus$359800$0.49$0.45

Post-purchase upsells are $1 per conversion on every plan. There is no free tier; each plan carries a 14-day trial. Stores above 800 edits a month go to a custom plan.

The last column is mine, not theirs: the monthly fee divided by the included edits. It is the number that makes the overage legible.

Overage costs more than the plan on every tier

Compare the last two columns and the pattern is consistent: the per-edit price you pay for going over is higher than the per-edit price you already agreed.

Growth. $0.59 in plan, $0.79 over. The 101st edit costs 34% more than the first hundred.

Professional. $0.30 in plan, $0.59 over. The 401st edit costs 98% more than the ones before it. The tier with the best in-plan rate has the harshest penalty for exceeding it, which is the opposite of what most people assume when they size a plan.

Premium Plus. $0.45 in plan, $0.49 over. Nearly flat, and the only tier where running over is not materially punished.

None of this is hidden and none of it is unusual for metered software. It matters because order edits are seasonal in exactly the way that breaks allowance-based pricing: they spike with order volume, which spikes in the quarter you can least afford a surprise line item.

Where each upgrade starts paying

Work out the crossovers and the plan choice becomes arithmetic rather than judgement.

Growth to Professional. Growth costs $59 plus $0.79 for each edit above 100. That reaches $119, the Professional price, at about 176 edits. Above roughly 176 edits a month, Professional is cheaper than Growth with overage, even though you are paying more than double the base fee.

Professional to Premium Plus. Professional costs $119 plus $0.59 above 400, reaching $359 at about 807 edits. That lands almost exactly on Premium Plus's 800-edit allowance, so the tiers are cleanly designed at the top: you upgrade right as you exhaust the plan.

The awkward zone is between 100 and 176 edits. There you are paying Growth plus overage at the worst rate on the card, and upgrading does not yet pay. That band is where a seasonal spike is most expensive.

What the price is per edit, all in

At three volumes, taking the cheapest Cleverific configuration at each:

Edits a monthCleverificPer edit
100$59 (Growth)$0.59
300$59 + 200 × $0.79 = $217, or Professional at $119$0.40
800$359 (Premium Plus)$0.45

The 300-edit row is the one worth reading twice. Staying on Growth costs $217; moving to Professional costs $119. Nearly half, for the same usage, purely by picking the right tier. If you are on Growth and regularly seeing overage, that is the single cheapest thing to fix.

The upsell line is priced unlike anything else here

$1 per post-purchase upsell conversion is the one Cleverific charge that is not about editing at all, and it is worth separating out because it behaves differently from every other fee in this category.

It bills only on conversions. A month where nobody takes an upsell costs nothing on that line, which makes it the only genuinely contingent charge any order editing vendor publishes.

Whether $1 is cheap depends on your average upsell value rather than your edit volume. On a $30 add-on it is 3.3% of the revenue it generated. On a $12 add-on it is 8.3%. Compare that against the 15 to 25% that dedicated post-purchase upsell apps typically take and the flat dollar looks favourable at any reasonable basket size, and increasingly favourable as the basket grows.

The line to watch is small add-ons. If your typical post-purchase upsell is under about $8, a flat $1 is a worse deal than a percentage, and you should price it against a percentage-based alternative rather than against the rest of Cleverific's card.

The comparison to zero

Order Editing is free: no monthly fee, no per-edit charge, no overage, no feature gates. Every row in the tables above becomes $0.

Two honest qualifications on that. Redo is not the only free option, though it is the only uncapped one: Revize has a genuine free plan capped at 20 edits a month, which I work through in where every free order editing plan runs out. And free is not the same as cheapest-to-operate, because the configuration work is identical whoever you buy from.

The honest part

Cleverific publishes its prices, its allowances and its overage rates on a public page. Most of this category makes you ask. That is worth crediting before anything else, and it is what made this article possible to write at all.

A third-party summary reported these tiers to me as $49, $99 and $299. The real figures are $59, $119 and $359. I only caught it by opening their page, and it is a reminder that directory sites reprinting a price are not a source. Check the page yourself on the day you decide, including for us.

The upsell line is also genuinely different from what everyone else in this category sells. At $1 per conversion it only bills when it makes you money, and if post-purchase upsells work for your catalogue that may be worth more than the editing. I have not tested it and I am not going to characterise something I have not used.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Cleverific cost?

$59, $119 or $359 a month for 100, 400 or 800 order edits, with overage at $0.79, $0.59 and $0.49 per edit respectively, plus $1 per post-purchase upsell conversion. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Stores above 800 edits a month move to a custom plan. From cleverific.com/pricing, checked August 19, 2026.

Does Cleverific have a free plan?

No. Every tier carries a 14-day free trial with full feature access and no credit card required, but there is no permanently free tier. The lowest ongoing cost is $59 a month.

When should I upgrade my Cleverific plan?

Growth plus overage reaches the Professional price at about 176 edits a month, so above that Professional is cheaper despite doubling the base fee. Professional reaches the Premium Plus price at about 807 edits, which lands almost exactly on Premium Plus's 800-edit allowance.

Why is Cleverific overage more expensive than the plan?

Overage is priced above the effective in-plan rate on all three tiers, which is normal for metered software. The gap is widest on Professional: about $0.30 an edit inside the allowance against $0.59 outside it, so exceeding it costs nearly double per edit.

The number to check before your next renewal: your overage line for the last three months. If you paid overage in two of them, you are on the wrong tier, and on Growth that mistake costs $0.79 an edit for the privilege.
