Saving money with Balsamiq Cloud

Balsamiq Cloud is charged per Space, and for each Space, you have different plans to choose from. We've settled on the offered plans following a bit of research, but even then, you might struggle finding the plan that best suits your needs.

We've compiled a few tips that might help keep your Balsamiq Cloud costs down.

Pausing your subscription

The Billing Admin of a Space can pause a subscription at any time.

You will not be able to access your projects while the subscription is paused, but we will keep your Space and projects around for you, and we will not charge your card. Once you resume the subscription, you will regain access to your Space and projects. Head over to the Pausing Your Subscription FAQ to learn more.

Managing your project count

There might be times when you don't necessarily need to work on multiple projects simultaneously. Since Balsamiq Cloud plans allow for a maximum number of projects, you can play around with this depending on your needs.

For example, let's assume you're on the 2-project plan, and you are working on Project A. You already started Project B, but it won't need to be worked on until next month, and you need to get started with Project C. In that case, you can download Project B to your computer, then delete it from your Space. That frees up a slot for you to get started with Project C.
