## Plans Billing Cycle

Your subscription renews on a recurring schedule based on the plan you selected:

### Monthly Plans

You are billed every month on the same calendar date as your initial purchase.

### Annual Plans

You are billed once per year on the same calendar date as your initial purchase. Annual plans include discounted pricing.

---

## Initial Billing Term

When upgrading to a Plus or Pro plan for the first time, the first 3 months are charged upfront. After the initial term ends, billing continues on a monthly schedule (unless annual billing was selected).

---

## Usage Billing Cycle

Usage operates on a monthly cycle for all plans, including annual ones.

- Usage resets monthly.
- Any usage beyond your included monthly records is billed monthly.
- Pro-rated usage is not carried over between months.

You can view both subscription and usage billing dates in the Manage Plan section.

## Next Billing Dates in the Dashboard

In your Snag admin under Manage Plan, you’ll see two upcoming charges:

1. **Next plan charge** - The date your subscription will renew (monthly or annually).
2. **Next usage charge** - The date your usage total will be billed for the current cycle.

Both dates update automatically based on your plan and billing history.
