Other providers charge more, usually a lot more! Here is how one school paid about twice as much going with a competitor than they would have paid for an Elexpert election.
Interestingly, this vendor recently left the online election business after only providng 90 elections over about five years of operations.
You might wonder why other providers charge so much more...
Many online election providers are venture capital funded companies. These providers owe their investors millions of dollars and they look to get those millions from you. Some providers even have offices in multiple cities. You are expected to pay for all these offices.
We are different!
Elexpert is privately owned with no outside funding. We can afford to offer the best online election service at the lowest price because we have no venture capitalists to answer to. Also, our business is totally internet based so there is absolutely no need for offices in DC and two other states as one of our competitors maintains (and charges you for). One office is all we need to provide you a great online election.

Our competitors often charge twice as much as you would pay for an Elexpert Online Election!
Thinking of using another online election provider? You should know that Elexpert could cost your school about HALF what you would pay than if you "VoteThere".
We are open and honest about our pricing! Our competition hides their pricing, you simply can not determine what they will charge just by browsing their website...you have to deal with their sales people, much like visiting a used car lot. Their website might be slick and catchy but that has nothing to do with providing an excellent online election.
Elexpert pricing options are up-front and we offer the same pricing for all our customers. Our competition might not always offer the same pricing to all customers. Here is a quick and true story about a school that decided to use another service provider for their Spring 2002 elections and how Elexpert could have saved the school around $2,000.
A mid-western school with around 18,000 students was looking to use Elexpert for their Spring 2002 elections. They had used a competitor the previous year and ultimately they decided to go with that other provider for this year's election since they were already familiar with that provider. At that time, we had no way to know how we compared price-wise but we already knew we offer the best online election service.
Later, while doing a web-search, we came across a web page of this school's student government association's meeting minutes on the evening they chose to go with our competitor. Well, that page also contained what the other election provider was charging for the election. The other provider was charging $4,000. After a little more research, we learned that about 4,800 votes were cast...nearly a dollar per vote. Elexpert would have saved this school almost $2,000!
