There is no code to enter at checkout, which is the part worth knowing before you subscribe. The startup discount on Massive's commercial plans is arranged through sales, so it is a short conversation rather than a self-serve step, and the terms depend on how far along the company is. Details are on the business page.
Applies to
- Plans: the commercial and business plans. It is not a discount on individual subscriptions, which have their own education route.
- Endpoints: none. This changes the price, not the data.
- Asset classes: all.
How to apply
- Email sales@massive.com and say what you are building, what stage the company is at, and which products you need.
- Say if you are pre-launch. That is the case with the largest reduction, and it is not something we can infer.
- They will tell you what you qualify for and set the plan up.
There is no form and no automated eligibility check, which means an unusual situation is worth describing rather than assuming it disqualifies you.
The other discounts, which are not this one
The other discounts are not this one, and all three get mixed up:
| Discount | Who | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Startup | Qualifying early-stage companies, on commercial plans | Arranged with sales |
| Education | Students and faculty, on individual plans | Applied by us after you ask in the chat; the education page only describes it |
| Annual billing | Anyone paying for a year up front, 20 percent | Applied at checkout |
The annual discount stacks with the others in the sense that it is a separate decision about how you pay; the startup and education ones are about who you are.
Why it exists
The discount exists because a company at the point of deciding what to build on rarely has the budget it will have later, and market data is often the largest line in an early product's costs. Making the first year cheaper is a straightforward way to be the provider that was affordable when the decision was made.
If you see an error
There is nothing to go wrong technically. If a plan was set up without the discount you agreed, reply on the same email thread with sales.
If you are an individual rather than a company, the education discount is more likely the right route.
