Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
Q: Can we upgrade from Option 1 to Option 2 later?
A: Yes, easily. Both use the same technology stack (or very similar). Migration is zero-disruption. Your students won't experience any downtime. We handle the entire process.
Q: What's included in the 2% Video Hosting fee?
A: Video storage CDN, bandwidth, live streaming infrastructure, automatic recording, student access control, and CDN delivery. Essentially everything except the base hosting and live class streaming.
Q: Do you have any hidden fees?
A: No. Everything listed is all-inclusive. The only variable cost is the percentage of revenue (2–2.5%), which you always know in advance. Paystack fees (1.5% + ₦100) are separate and standard across all payment platforms.
Q: Can we pay monthly or must we commit for a year?
A: Monthly billing with no long-term contract required. You can cancel anytime (though we hope you won't!).
Q: What if our revenue drops one month?
A: The minimum Video Hosting fee still applies (₦18K for Option 1, ₦10K base for Option 2). This ensures we cover infrastructure costs. Once revenue exceeds the breakeven point, you only pay the percentage.
Q: Are there any additional costs for instructors?
A: Instructors pay a revenue share (15% to vSkul, 85% to instructor). This is already baked into the pricing. They don't pay extra hosting or Video Hosting fees on top.
Q: What if we exceed 30 students per live session?
A: You can run multiple cohorts simultaneously (e.g., Class A at 30 students, Class B at 30 students). Each is a separate session. Or contact us about higher-tier options for larger broadcasts (with reduced instructor engagement).
Q: Do you offer bulk discounts?
A: For enterprises with very high revenue (₦10M+/month), we can discuss custom pricing. Contact our enterprise team at info@vskul.com.
