# Billing and usage

The three plans, what counts as usage, and how to add more when you run low.



## The plans [#the-plans]

| Plan           | For                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Solo**       | One person planning their own work. Self-serve.                                                                                                                                                   |
| **Team**       | A team planning together, plus self-hosted Git servers and the managed broker.                                                                                                                    |
| **Enterprise** | Larger organizations. Arranged with us rather than self-serve. Each planner gets the same monthly allowance as Team, renewed on your billing date, unless your agreement sets a different amount. |

Owners manage the subscription under **Settings → Billing**. On an Enterprise plan that screen is
read-only: it shows your plan, your seats and when your usage renews, and seat or term changes go
through your account manager.

Comment-only seats hold no monthly allowance on any plan. They are for reading, commenting and
suggesting, which cost nothing.

## What usage means [#what-usage-means]

Planning conversations do real work: research, reading your Context, writing and rewriting specs.
That work is what your allowance covers, and the billing screen shows how much of it each person has
used in dollars of their monthly allowance, like $23.34 of $200, with the percentage beside it.

Reading plans, browsing specs, sharing, and pushing to your issue tracker do not consume it. The
cost is in the planning itself.

## Running low [#running-low]

If you are heading toward your limit before the month resets, add usage from the billing screen.
The addition applies immediately and does not change your plan.

## What happens at the limit [#what-happens-at-the-limit]

Planning conversations stop until the month resets or you add usage. Nothing is deleted, nothing is
locked, and everything you have already planned stays readable, shareable and pushable.

  Only owners can change the subscription or add usage. A member who hits the limit sees what has
  happened and who to ask, rather than a generic failure.
