Encircle Features: Billing and Access

How Billing Works

The organization that owns a claim pays for the features used on that project. This applies to every user on the claim, whether they work for the owning organization, a partner organization in the same network, or an organization outside the network. If a claim moves to a new owner, the organization that owns it at the time of billing is the one billed.

How each feature is billed:

  • Field Documentation comes with your subscription.
  • Floor Plans and floor plan imports to Xactimate are pay-as-you-go, with an optional subscription. If your organization has the Scope to Estimate (Scope and Scope to Xactimate) subscription, Xactimate imports are included.
  • Scope, Scope to Xactimate, and AI Description are add-ons. They’re available only when the claim owner’s plan includes them.

What each person can do also depends on their user permission: Admin, Standard, or Limited.

Missing a Feature

  1. Check the claim owner’s plan. Your organization’s add-ons don’t carry over to claims owned by someone else.
  2. Check your user permission. If you can see a feature but can’t use it, your permission (Admin, Standard, or Limited) may not include it. Ask an Admin in your organization.
