Billing

Plans, run budgets, the Stripe checkout / portal, seats, and usage forecasting.

Billing lives at Settings → Billing and is powered by Stripe.

Plans

Three tiers, summarized on the pricing page:

  • Free — 100 runs/month, 5 prompts, OpenAI only, email support.
  • Pro — 5,000 runs/month, 50 prompts × 25 brands, all three providers, public API access (5 rps), 12-month retention.
  • Business — 100,000 runs/month, unlimited seats, project-level access control, 50 rps API, unlimited retention, SSO-ready.

The “runs” budget is a soft limit on monitor runs consumed in a month, not API calls. Re-analysis of existing runs is free.

Checkout

Free → Pro is self-service through Stripe Checkout. Settings → Billing → Upgrade opens the hosted flow; once payment succeeds you’re on Pro within seconds. No credit card is required on Free.

Business plans are quoted directly — Talk to us opens our calendar.

Stripe customer portal

The Manage subscription button opens the Stripe-hosted portal where you can:

  • Update card details.
  • Switch plans (upgrades take effect immediately, downgrades at the end of the period).
  • Cancel (downgrades to Free at the end of the period).
  • Pull invoices.

Usage forecasting

The billing page shows current-period usage and a forecast based on your configured monitors and their cadences. If the forecast goes over your plan’s budget, the page surfaces the over-quota date so you can upgrade or pause before runs start queuing.

Seats

Pro is per-organization, not per-seat. Add as many teammates as you need at no extra cost. Business plans inherit that — the upgrade is about run volume, retention, and access control, not seat count.

What happens at the limit

When your run budget is exhausted:

  • Existing monitors continue to be scheduled.
  • New runs queue rather than fire.
  • The dashboard surfaces a banner explaining what’s happening.
  • Upgrading at any time drains the queue immediately.

We never silently drop runs.

API

  • POST /v1/billing/checkout — start a checkout session.
  • POST /v1/billing/portal — open the Stripe customer portal.

Both endpoints require an active session and operate at the organization level.
