Applane costs €12 per builder per month. Annual is €120 per builder per year, two months off. There is no minimum, no setup fee, and no AI usage fee: Gemini runs in your own GCP project and Google bills you for the tokens directly.

A builder is an active seat, someone who signed in to the extension. People who only open the apps are free. See [People and seats](https://docs.applane.dev/console/people-and-seats/).

## The trial

Signing up starts a 14-day trial with up to 10 builders. No card. A banner under the top bar shows the days left; it turns amber with 3 days to go, and an email goes to every admin then.

## Subscribe

**Billing** shows your plan, the trial end or period end, and the seat count. Pick monthly or annual and click **Subscribe**. Checkout opens; the card is entered there and never touches Applane.

- During the trial: the first charge happens on the trial end date.
- After the trial has ended: the first charge is immediate, and the builder unlocks within 12 hours or at the next sign-in.

Monthly: seats are counted daily and billed at the period end for the count on that day, so a seat that came and went mid-month is not prorated. Annual: you buy N seats; adding more mid-term creates a prorated invoice for the rest of the term.

## Manage billing

Once subscribed, **Manage billing** opens the billing portal: change the card, download invoices, switch interval, cancel. Invoices are PDFs with your company name and VAT number; EU companies with a valid VAT number are reverse-charged.

## Cancel

Cancel any time from the portal. The subscription runs to the end of the paid period, then the builder locks: build, deploy and publish refuse, opening existing apps keeps working. The apps themselves keep running; they are in your Google. Subscribe again and everything is where you left it. Nothing is deleted for 90 days.

## If the trial ends without a subscription

The builder locks the same way. The console stays open with a **Subscribe** button on every page. Seats are not reclaimed. 30 days later the company goes to churned: the extension can no longer find it and the console shows only the billing page. Data is deleted after 90 days.

## If a payment fails

An email goes to every admin, and a banner asks you to update the card. Seats keep working for 30 days. After 30 days past due the company is suspended: existing builders keep working through the 7-day licence grace, then the builder locks until the card is fixed. See [Licence tokens and offline behaviour](https://docs.applane.dev/security/licence-and-offline/).
