SmartBox pricing
We offer pay-per SmartBox pricing with multiple plans to fit your needs. Visit Keycafe Enterprise for SmartBox prices.
Plan pricing
Visit Plans and Pricing for the current plan rates.
If you choose an annual plan, device subscriptions are paid a year upfront and each device is on its own annual billing cycle based on the date it was first activated. Downgrades and upgrades between plans and billing cycles are each unique situations that are handled in different ways. If you do not want to pay by credit card or want to only pay once per year, you can purchase upfront credit to fund the recurring invoices.
Monthly Billing
You will be billed once a month for the previous 30 days of active device use. Devices must be on to be billed, so you will only be billed for each device that communicated with our server during the 30 day period.
Annual Billing
Each device is on its own billing cycle, so if you purchase new SmartBoxes, they will begin their annual cycle when activated. The plan renewal for each individual SmartBox is 12 months after the initial invoice date.
Risk-free trial
For all new customers, Keycafe offers a 45 day risk-free trial on our products and services. During this period, you are free to test the SmartBox device and different plans without being charged. You can also send back your device for a full refund.
After the trial period, you will be charged in arrears according to the payment schedule you have chosen (monthly or annual).

How to pause billing
If you'd like to stop billing but keep your account active for future use, unplug all SmartBoxes. You will receive one last monthly invoice and thereafter billing will pause as long as your SmartBox is powered off.
Ensure the reset button is not pressed, as this will wake up your SmartBox using the backup battery and resume your billing.
Alternatively, you may choose to unlink your SmartBox from your location so that even if the reset button is pressed, your account will not be charged. To do so, you must first remove all keys from the SmartBox. See Unlinking a SmartBox for more details.
Unlinking a SmartBox and your data
Unlinking a SmartBox from a location will not affect any of your data. All keys, users, bookings, groups, and key access history will be intact after unlinking a SmartBox.
