Step 4: View Your Plan Features & Quotas
Your billing dashboard displays all the features and quotas included in your current plan. This helps you understand what's available with your subscription.
Plan information includes:
- Content Generation Quota: Number of articles you can generate per month
- SEO Research Credits: Keyword research and SERP analysis credits included
- Available Integrations: Platforms you can connect (WordPress, Wix, social media, etc.)
- Project Limits: Number of projects you can create
- Team Member Limits: Number of collaborators you can invite
- Storage Limits: File storage capacity included
- Other Features: Additional capabilities like site diagnostics, traffic monitoring, etc.
ℹ️ NOTE: Quotas reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused quotas don't roll over to the next month.
Step 5: Update Your Payment Method
Need to change your credit card or billing address? Click "Update Payment" in the "Payment Method" card.
You'll be redirected to Stripe's secure payment portal where you can:
- Add a new credit or debit card
- Update existing card information
- Change billing address
- Set a default payment method
💡 PRO TIP: We use Stripe for secure payment processing. Your card details are never stored on our servers—they're encrypted and stored by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor.
Step 6: View and Download Invoices
Need receipts for accounting? Click "View Invoices" to see all your past payments.
For each invoice, you can:
- Download PDF: Professional invoice for your records
- View Online: See invoice details in your browser
- Check Status: See if payment succeeded or failed
ℹ️ NOTE: Invoices are generated automatically when your subscription renews or when you make one-time purchases (like add-on quotas). You'll also receive invoices by email.
Step 7: Purchase Add-On Quotas
Running low on article credits or SEO research? Purchase add-on quotas without upgrading your plan. Add-ons are one-time purchases that never expire.
Available add-ons:
- Article Packs: 10, 25, or 50 additional articles
- SEO Research Credits: Additional keyword research and SERP analysis
- Site Audit Credits: Extra competitor analysis audits
💡 PRO TIP: Add-ons are cheaper than upgrading if you only need extra capacity occasionally. They're perfect for seasonal businesses or one-off campaigns.
Step 8: Cancel or Pause Your Subscription
Need to cancel? We're sorry to see you go. Click "Cancel Plan" in the "Cancel Your Plan" card.
Cancellation options:
- Cancel at Period End: Keep access until your current billing cycle ends (recommended)
- Cancel Immediately: Lose access right away (no refund for unused time)
ℹ️ NOTE: If you cancel during a free trial, you lose access immediately and won't be charged. If you cancel a paid plan, you keep access until the end of your billing period—we don't offer prorated refunds.
Your content and data are never deleted when you cancel. If you reactivate later, everything will be exactly as you left it.
