# Managing Your Chevre Billing, Plans, and Subscription

> Manage your Chevre subscription, compare plans, update payment methods, view invoices, and monitor usage from the Billing settings.

Chevre offers flexible plans for teams of every size. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription from the Billing settings at any time, and changes take effect immediately — no waiting for the next billing cycle to access new features.

## Plans Comparison

## Upgrading Your Plan

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Billing Settings">
    Click your **avatar** in the top-right corner and select **Settings**. In the left sidebar, choose **Billing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Upgrade">
    Under **Current Plan**, click the **Upgrade** button. A plan comparison modal will appear showing the differences between your current plan and available tiers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a Plan">
    Click **Select Plan** under the tier you want. If you are on a Free plan, you will be prompted to add a payment method before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a Billing Cycle">
    Select either **Monthly** or **Annual** billing. Annual billing saves you **20%** compared to paying month-to-month.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Your Upgrade">
    Review the order summary, then click **Confirm Upgrade**. Your new plan activates immediately and your payment method is charged pro-rated for the remainder of the current period.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Payment Methods

Chevre accepts the following payment methods depending on your plan:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Credit & Debit Card" icon="credit-card">
    Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are accepted on all paid plans. Add or update your card in **Settings → Billing → Payment Methods**.
  </Card>

  <Card title="ACH Bank Transfer" icon="building-columns">
    ACH direct debit is available on the **Enterprise plan only**. Contact your account manager or [sales@chevre.io](mailto:sales@chevre.io) to set up ACH billing.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

To update your payment method, navigate to **Settings → Billing → Payment Methods**, click **Edit**, and enter your new card details. The updated method is used immediately for the next charge.

## Viewing Invoices and Downloading Receipts

Chevre automatically generates an invoice for every charge. To access your billing history:

1. Go to **Settings → Billing → Invoices**.
2. Browse the list of past charges, sorted by date.
3. Click **Download** next to any invoice to save a PDF receipt.

Invoices include the plan name, billing period, line-item breakdown, and payment status. You can share downloaded PDFs with your finance team for expense reporting.

## Monitoring Your Usage

Track how much of your plan's capacity your workspace has consumed in the current billing period:

1. Go to **Settings → Billing → Usage**.
2. Review the dashboard for:
   * **Workflow runs** used vs. your monthly limit
   * **Team member seats** occupied vs. your plan's maximum
   * **Storage** consumed by attachments and exported files

<Tip>
  Set up usage alerts in **Settings → Notifications** to receive an email when you reach 80% or 95% of your workflow run limit so you can upgrade before hitting the cap.
</Tip>

## Billing Cycle

You can choose between two billing cycles at any time:

* **Monthly** — charged on the same day each month (the date you first subscribed).
* **Annual** — charged once per year, saving you **20%** compared to the monthly rate.

To switch between cycles, go to **Settings → Billing → Billing Cycle** and select your preferred option. Switching from monthly to annual takes effect at the start of your next billing period.

## Downgrading Your Plan

To move to a lower tier, go to **Settings → Billing → Change Plan** and select the target plan. Chevre will warn you if your current workspace usage exceeds the limits of the lower tier — for example, if you have 10 members on Pro but the Free plan allows only 3. Resolve any over-limit items before the downgrade takes effect at the end of your current period.

## Cancelling Your Subscription

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Billing Settings">
    Go to **Settings → Billing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Cancel Plan">
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Cancel Plan**. A confirmation dialog will appear.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Cancellation">
    Read the impact summary, then click **Confirm Cancellation**. Your plan remains active until the end of the current paid period, after which the workspace reverts to the Free tier.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  After your paid plan ends, your workspace data — including workflows, automations, and history — is retained for **30 days**. If you do not reactivate a paid plan within that window, all workspace data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Export any critical data before your retention period expires.
</Warning>
