# Billing

Workspaces require a paid subscription to access advanced features, team collaboration tools, and larger-scale operations. This page explains the key billing concepts and operations for managing your Workspace subscription.

# Trial Period

All new Workspaces begin with a 30-day trial of the Starter Plan. During the trial:

  • You can explore all features available in the Starter Plan.
  • No credit card information is required.
  • At the end of the trial, Workspaces enter read-only mode if a subscription is not activated.

# Subscriptions

Subscribe to a paid plan to continue using a Workspace beyond the trial period. All billing and subscription options are managed directly in the Workspace Settings > Billing section.

Key points:

  • Subscription costs adjust dynamically as you add and remove members.
  • When members are removed, their seats remain allocated and billed until the next billing cycle begins.
  • Plans and pricing details are displayed directly in the in-app billing section.
  • Billing supports both monthly and annual payment options.

# Managing Billing

You can manage your Workspace subscription directly from the in-app billing interface. Available operations include:

  • Upgrading Plans: Easily switch to higher-tier plans as your needs evolve.

  • Downgrading Plans: Not yet supported in-app; contact Speckle Support to downgrade.

  • Adding Members:

    • Adding a member immediately increases the subscription cost by one seat (if no unoccupied seats are available).
    • The cost adjustment is reflected on the next invoice.
  • Removing Members:

    • Removing a member does not immediately lower the subscription cost.
    • The seat count remains unchanged for the current billing cycle, and costs will be adjusted based on the current member count at the start of the next billing cycle.
  • Cancelling a Subscription: Cancel your subscription to stop future charges. Workspaces will enter read-only mode after the current billing cycle ends, but all data remains intact.

# Data and Access

When a subscription lapses:

  • All Workspace data remains intact and accessible in read-only mode.
  • You can only create new versions, add members, or edit once the subscription is reactivated.

# Notes

  • The in-app billing section provides detailed pricing and feature comparisons.
  • To upgrade, manage members, or adjust your Workspace settings, visit Settings > Billing in the Workspace interface.
  • For billing-related assistance, contact Speckle Support.
