Five things the Modash contract page does not put in the headline

Modash pricing page shows a clean three-tier comparison ($199, $499, $899) with a small "billed annually" footnote. Here is what the footnote means in practice.

12-month commitment, paid up front or in 12 equal payments

The headline $199/mo Essentials price applies only to a full 12-month contract. You either pay $2,388 up front or commit to 12 monthly payments that you cannot stop mid-term. This applies on all three tiers.

Monthly billing penalty is $1,200/yr on Essentials

Want flexibility? Monthly billing on Essentials is $299/mo vs $199/mo annual. That is $1,200 extra per year for the right to cancel. Performance monthly penalty is $1,200/yr ($599 vs $499). Advanced is $2,400/yr ($1,099 vs $899).

No prorated refund if you cancel mid-year

Modash standard terms make annual plans non-refundable after the 14-day trial window. If your team stops needing the tool in month 4, you still owe the remaining 8 months of payments. Some accounts negotiate exceptions at renewal time but not mid-term.

Auto-renewal at the same rate unless you cancel 30 days in advance

Modash annual contracts auto-renew at the original price unless you give 30-day written notice before the renewal date. Miss the window plus you are locked in for another 12 months at the same tier.

Tier upgrades mid-contract reset your 12-month clock

Hit your seat or analysis cap mid-year plus upgrade to Performance? Some teams report the new tier starts a fresh 12-month commitment from the upgrade date rather than continuing the original contract end-date. Verify in your Modash agreement before upgrading.

What the Modash minimum contract actually costs over 12 months

Take a typical US DTC marketing team: 3 seats, 2 campaigns per month, 500 profile analyses per month, 200 email unlocks plus 200 tracked creators. Compare what fits on each contract option.
