FAQs

Are platform seats required?

Yes. You need the core Platform to access other Pylon products.

Do I need to buy Seats, Account Intelligence, and AI separately?

Yes, they are all separate products to solve different use cases. Each replaces a different product you'd otherwise have to buy separately.

Do you support viewer-only seats?

Yes, on the professional and enterprise tiers.

How does your pricing compare to other platforms?

We aim to innovate on product, not pricing and therefore are typically cheaper than buying multiple other products that we consolidate.

Are there seat minimums?

Yes. We require a minimum of 3 seats for starter and professional and 7 seats for enterprise.
