The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 144 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per vendor per plan: the published subscription price and its basis (flat, per user, per entity), the per-transaction or per-payment fee, the card and ACH take rates, the free tier, and whether the vendor publishes at all; beside it the COST PER INVOICE the category is sold against, taken only from named benchmark publishers with their figure and date. The derivation nobody publishes is the two together - the published subscription cost per invoice at 100, 1,000 and 5,000 invoices a month against the published manual-processing benchmark, so the break-even is computed rather than claimed - plus the healthcare cut, where the platforms a provider organisation actually buys (Waystar, Zelis, InstaMed) publish nothing and that silence is the row ## Sources - [BILL pricing](https://www.bill.com/pricing) (the publisher's own terms;
