Understanding your options
A license covers one or more boats and one or more products. The checkout form calculates the exact price as you make selections.
Products
Choose one or more of:
- Njord Analytics — web-based performance analysis, includes Web Player
- Njord Player — desktop app for video debriefing
- Analytics + Player bundle — both products at a discount
Boats and fleet pricing
Boats are priced by class. Adding multiple boats to a single license costs less per boat than buying separate licenses (volume discount). A single license can cover boats from different classes — the price for each class is calculated separately and summed.
If you don't know exactly which boats to include yet, you can check out with placeholders (boat class + quantity) and assign specific boats after checkout.
Payment schedule
The checkout form shows four options and calculates the exact crossover point between them for your specific selection:
| Option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Pay per use | No upfront charge. You're billed per sailing day (by log data date), 2–3 days after a big event or at the end of each month. Re-uploading the same day is not billed twice. The price for each upload is shown before it's charged. |
| Monthly subscription | Fixed monthly charge, billed on checkout. Auto-renews monthly. Reminder email 10 days before renewal. |
| Annual subscription | Fixed annual charge, billed on checkout. Auto-renews yearly. Reminder email 10 days before renewal. |
| Pay upfront for specific dates | Enter a start and end date. Njord finds the best combination of monthly and annual pricing for that period, adds a small discount, and bills the total upfront. No auto-renewal. |
Subscriptions start on the day of checkout and are not aligned to the calendar month or year.
Which to choose: Start by estimating how many sailing days you expect. As a rough guide, more than 6–8 days in a month makes a monthly license cheaper than pay-per-use; more than around 6 active months in a year makes an annual license cheaper than monthly. The checkout form shows the exact crossover for your selection.
Payment methods
Credit card is accepted for all options. EU customers can also use SEPA direct debit. For annual subscriptions and prepaid periods, bank transfer is available — select "Pay later / bank transfer" at checkout.
Multiple licenses
You can hold more than one license simultaneously — for example, an Analytics subscription combined with a pay-per-use Player license for occasional use.
Comparing data with another boat
If you want to analyse your own boat alongside another boat in your class, the right licensing setup depends on whether the boats are on the same account or owned by different teams. See Comparing Multiple Boats for the practical options.
