Chargeback tools are everywhere. They promise protection, automation, and recovery, but how much are you really paying for all of that? When the pricing is "performance-based," it can be hard to tell where your money's going. If you're looking at Chargeblast, you probably want a straight answer. This breakdown gives you exactly that.
How Chargeblast Pricing Works
Chargeblast uses a performance-based pricing model. That means you're not paying just to use the tool. You're paying for results. Think: chargebacks blocked, alerts handled, and disputes won.
There's no flat monthly fee that stays the same whether you have one chargeback or a hundred. What you pay depends on a few core factors:
- How many disputes you get each month
- How many alerts Chargeblast catches and sends your way
- The automation features you turn on, like dispute response tools or RDR workflows
This setup scales with your business. If you're a small shop with a handful of chargebacks, your bill stays light. If you're a high-risk merchant in the hundreds-per-month category, your costs reflect that level of risk and activity.
Dispute Volume Tiers
Chargeblast prices based on volume, but not in a one-size-fits-all way. Your plan adjusts depending on how many disputes you're seeing each month. Here's a rough breakdown:
Low Volume (1–25 chargebacks/month)
You'll typically pay a fixed fee per alert or dispute. Add-ons are available if you want more automation.
Mid Volume (26–100 chargebacks/month)
At this level, pricing often includes case-level discounts and access to advanced automation bundles.
High Volume (100+ chargebacks/month)
Plans are customized. That usually means lower per-case pricing, full automation, dashboard integrations, and custom support options.
The better you get at managing disputes, the less you'll spend. That's the point. Your pricing reflects how well you're doing at keeping chargebacks under control.
Here’s What You're Actually Paying For
Here at Chargeblast, we provide more than just a dashboard. Our pricing is tied to tools and services that do real work for you.
1. Chargeback Alerts
These are real-time signals that let you refund or resolve a dispute before it becomes a chargeback. You pay per chargeback alert that gets sent, not just for access to the alert system.
2. Automated Dispute Responses
Chargeblast can automatically draft and send chargeback responses using your transaction data, templates, and rules. You're only billed when a dispute is actually filed through the system.
3. Real-Time Dashboard and Support
You get live reporting, analytics, and a dashboard that stays synced with your processors. You're also paying for support during onboarding, custom integrations, and any troubleshooting you run into.
4. Performance-Based Success Fees
For some high-risk verticals, Chargeblast offers success-based pricing. In these cases, you might pay a percentage of the chargebacks recovered or prevented.
No Hidden Fees
You won't find onboarding fees or sneaky platform charges buried in the fine print. If something costs extra, it's laid out ahead of time.
Here's what might get billed separately:
- Manual case reviews
- API access or custom workflows
- Integrations with internal tools like CRMs
Everything shows up clearly, and you can pick and choose what you want.
Why This Model Works for Risky Merchants
Most fraud tools treat every merchant the same. Flat pricing, regardless of how often you're fighting disputes. That's fine if you're in a low-risk category. But if your business takes on more fraud or more volume, you're probably overpaying, or worse, not getting the protection you need.
Chargeblast aligns cost with activity. It's a better fit for:
- Businesses with seasonal spikes
- Fast-growing merchants
- Companies hit by promo abuse or refund fraud
- Merchants flagged by card brands for high dispute rates
And if your dispute rate drops next month? Your price drops with it. No negotiation needed.
Conclusion: Pricing That Follows Your Risk
Chargeblast's pricing is built to reflect your actual risk and actual results. You're not paying for access just to log in. You're paying for fewer disputes, faster alerts, stronger responses, and cleaner reporting.
The structure gives you room to grow without locking you into contracts or flat fees that don't match your business. For merchants in complex or high-risk spaces, that flexibility makes a real difference.
FAQ: Chargeblast Pricing
How much does Chargeblast cost per dispute?
It depends on how many disputes you get per month. Most low-volume merchants pay between $15 and $25 per case. Higher-volume merchants often get discounts or success-based terms.
Does Chargeblast charge for alerts I ignore?
No. You're only charged for alerts that are processed through your dashboard. If you don't act on them, you're not billed.
Are there monthly minimums?
Some plans include a minimum spend if your volume is high or you request advanced automation. That will be discussed with you before onboarding.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Unless you sign an enterprise agreement, plans are month-to-month. You can leave or pause when needed.
Is there a free trial?
You can schedule a full walkthrough of the platform by booking a demo. While there's no standard trial for chargebacks, you'll see exactly what features and pricing you'd get before making a decision.
Your Chargebacks Aren't Random. Neither Should Your Pricing Be.
Every chargeback tells you something. But unless you catch them early and respond the right way, they'll keep draining your revenue. Chargeblast makes it easier to step in, take action, and prevent the damage before it spreads.
