-
Pro. Re-read 2026-11-01: the price stands at $3. The note said annual billing saves 25% versus monthly and lists 10,000+ eGift cards; the page now reads "Yearly (Save 50%)" and "Rewards: eGift cards from 3,500+ brands across 200+ countries".

Enterprise. Re-read 2026-11-01: the plan is still sold by quote. The note said HRIS integration is part of Enterprise; the page now reads "HRIS integration is an add-on on any paid plan.".
-
Basic. Annual discount withdrawn, price unchanged. The record held 25% off $1, but the note calls $1 the annual-billed rate and names no month-to-month one, so the page offered a saving off a price that already had the saving in it. The annual discount is a percentage of the monthly price and had no base to be one of.

This standing as a plaque
Matter currently holds a platinum deskmark here — Rank 1 of 9 · Employee Recognition. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Matter moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
