How does Applane billing work?
Applane costs €12 per builder per month. Annual billing is €120 per builder per year. Self-serve plans have no minimum and there is no setup fee. Google Cloud usage is separate: Google bills your project for Gemini, with no Applane markup.
A builder is an active seat, someone who signed in to the builder. People who only open the apps are free. See People and seats.
The trial
Section titled “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
Section titled “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.
When you return from checkout, the console checks for confirmation for up to a minute. Wait for Subscription confirmed before treating the plan as updated. If confirmation is delayed or the check fails, use Check again; you do not need to start checkout again.
Manage billing
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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 builder can no longer find it and the console shows only the billing page. Data is deleted after 90 days.
If a payment fails
Section titled “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.
Enterprise
Section titled “Enterprise”Enterprise starts at 50 builders. It supports annual invoices, net-30 payment by bank transfer, purchase order references, review of your own DPA, named-user access and multiple domains. Talk to us on the Billing page opens an email with your company in the subject.
