Speakable offers two flexible ways to buy:

  • Subscribe for immediate access using a credit card or ACH

  • Order Access using a purchase order (PO) and signed order form

This guide explains the difference, what’s required for each option, and how to get started.

Option 1: Subscribe

Subscribe is the fastest way to start using Speakable. It’s ideal for teachers or teams that can pay directly without going through a district purchasing process.

How it works:

  • Pay with a school-issued credit card (P-card) or ACH transfer

  • Complete payment through our checkout page

  • Access is activated immediately

  • Subscription renews automatically every year unless canceled

Best for:

  • Teachers or instructional leads with budget authority

  • Small teams or pilot purchases

  • Anyone not required to go through a PO or invoicing process

Option 2: Order Access (PO + Order Form)

Order Access is for schools or districts that require formal approval, a quote, and a purchase order. This path allows you to pay by check or ACH after invoicing, but requires a signed order form to activate your subscription.

How it works:

  1. Fill out a short order request form

  2. We’ll send:

    • A custom quote

    • A pre-filled Speakable order form

  3. Share these with your school or district purchasing contact

  4. Return the signed order form (PO optional but recommended)

  5. We activate your access and send an invoice

Best for:

  • District-level or full school purchases

  • Buyers going through a formal internal approval process

  • Anyone needing documentation for grant, Title, or tech funds

What’s the Difference?

Subscribe

Order Access

Pay upfront with card or ACH

Pay later by check or ACH after invoicing

Access starts immediately

Access starts after we receive a signed order form

No paperwork required

Requires signed order form (PO recommended)

Best for individual or small team purchases

Best for school-wide or district-level implementations

Annual auto-renewal

Annual manual renewal or multi-year options available

Why We Require a Signed Order Form

If you’re choosing the Order Access route, a signed Speakable order form is required—even if your district is submitting a PO.

This ensures we’re aligned on terms and allows us to activate your account without delay. It also helps your finance team reconcile the purchase more easily on their end.

A PO alone does not activate your subscription. The signed order form is required.
