Plans and billing
The 7-day trial, Pro and Pro Plus, what happens when a trial ends, and cancelling.
Scout is a flat monthly subscription, not a per-hire fee or a per-seat tool. Every workspace starts with a 7-day free trial and no card.
Plans
| Pro | Pro Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $249 a month, or $2,690 a year billed once (about $224 a month, 10 percent off) | Same subscription as Pro |
| Placement fee | None | 10 percent of first-year base salary, only when you hire someone introduced through Scout's vetted talent network |
| Sourcing | Your own LinkedIn | Your LinkedIn plus the vetted network |
| Roles, hires, team members | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| AI screening interviews, Slack digests, calendar booking | Included | Included |
| Connected LinkedIn accounts | 1 | 1 |
| Support | Slack and email, priority | Slack and email, priority |
The Pro Plus placement fee is governed by section 9 of the Platform Terms, which also states that nothing is owed on candidates you source through your own LinkedIn or who apply to you directly. Full plan details are on the pricing page.
The trial
Seven days from creating the workspace, with everything included and no card. Connect LinkedIn, run real outreach, and see candidates land in Slack. Billing shows what is left of the trial, and Scout tells you before it lapses.
Subscribe
Only the workspace owner can subscribe. On Billing, press Subscribe to Pro or Subscribe to Pro Plus and pay by card on the secure checkout page. Everyone else sees "Ask your workspace owner to manage billing."
Ask Scout "what plan are we on?" at any time; it checks and links you to the billing page.
When a trial ends without a plan
The dashboard locks to the Billing page with "Your 7-day free trial has ended - add a plan to keep using Scout." Outreach schedules pause. Nothing is deleted. Add a plan and everything resumes. Scout still answers questions in Slack while locked.
A failed card payment does not lock the workspace; update the card in Manage billing.
Manage billing
Manage billing opens the Stripe portal to change the card, download invoices, switch between monthly and annual, and cancel.
Switch plans
Upgrade or downgrade between Pro and Pro Plus at any time. A switch between monthly and annual takes effect at the next renewal. Placement terms apply only to hires made while on Pro Plus.
Cancel
Any time, from the portal. There is no contract. You keep access to the end of the period you have paid for, and your data can be exported for 30 days after that.
