# Manage your Armature subscription and billing plan

> Manage your Armature subscription, switch plans or billing periods, and handle cancellations or refunds. Billing is available to workspace owners only.

Armature billing lets you choose a plan, switch between monthly and annual billing periods, and manage an active subscription — all from within the product. The billing section is restricted to the workspace owner to keep payment decisions centralized and auditable.

<Note>
  Only the workspace **owner** can view or modify billing. If you are a viewer, editor, or admin and you navigate to **Settings → Billing**, you will see a message indicating that billing is owner-only. Contact your workspace owner to make plan changes.
</Note>

## Plans and billing periods

Armature offers a **free tier** for getting started and a **Pro** plan for teams that need higher limits and full access to alert rules and advanced tooling. Each paid plan can be billed **monthly** or **annually** — annual billing typically offers a discount compared to twelve monthly payments.

For teams with large-scale MCP monitoring needs or custom SLA requirements, contact the Armature sales team to discuss an enterprise plan.

## Subscribing or upgrading

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings → Billing">
    Open **Settings** in the sidebar and select **Billing** from the section navigation. The billing summary at the top shows your current plan, billing period, subscription status, and refund eligibility window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a billing period">
    Below the summary, the plan picker lets you switch between **Monthly** and **Annual** billing. Toggle to the period you prefer before selecting a plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a plan">
    Review the available plans in the plan picker. Your current plan is highlighted. Click **Subscribe** (or **Switch to this plan** if upgrading) on the plan you want.

    If a plan shows **Contact sales**, clicking it opens a sales inquiry form rather than a checkout session.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete checkout">
    Armature redirects you to a hosted checkout page to enter or confirm payment details. After a successful payment, you are returned to **Settings → Billing** and your new plan is shown in the billing summary.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing an active subscription

If you already have an active subscription, the billing summary shows your current plan and period. You can:

* **Upgrade or downgrade** — Select a different plan in the plan picker and click the subscription button. Armature processes the change and applies any prorated credit or charge.
* **Switch billing period** — Toggle the billing period selector and choose the new plan. The change takes effect at the next renewal.
* **Cancel** — See [cancelling a subscription](#cancelling-a-subscription) below.

## Cancelling a subscription

Clicking **Cancel subscription** opens a cancellation flow designed to give you one chance to stay at a reduced rate before confirming.

### Save offer

Before cancellation is finalized, Armature offers **50% off your next month**. This discount keeps your subscription active, preserves your current plan limits, and does not require any payment method changes. Click **Take 50% off** to apply the offer and return to the billing summary.

### Proceeding with cancellation

If you decline the save offer and click **Cancel anyway**, your subscription is scheduled to cancel at the end of the current billing period. You retain full access until the period ends.

You may optionally enter a short note explaining why you are cancelling — this is optional and goes directly to the Armature product team.

### Refund option

If a recent charge is within the refund eligibility window (shown in the billing summary as **Refund until**), a **Get a refund** button appears alongside the cancellation controls. Clicking it opens the refund path, where you can refund the latest eligible charge and cancel the subscription in a single action. The **Refund until** date is displayed in the flow so you can confirm eligibility before proceeding.

<Warning>
  Refunds cancel the subscription immediately rather than at period end. Make sure you have finished any workflows or monitoring runs you need before requesting a refund.
</Warning>
