When you're done, you know which plan your account has and how to get or change one.

**Who this is for:** anyone who's logged in. Billing always shows your own plan.

## Your current plan

Click **Billing** in the menu. The page says "Your plan, and what each plan includes." The **Current
plan** card shows:

- Your plan and how it's billed, like **Essentials (monthly)** or **Business (annual)**. Without a
  plan, it says **No plan**.
- With a plan, a green **active** label and either **Active until** a date (like "Active until Nov 27,
  2026") or **No end date**.

When the **Active until** date has passed, the account has no plan unless the plan was extended. A plan
that has ended or isn't active shows **No plan**, and your Chirps stay in your account: see
[What you can do without a plan](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/account-billing/no-plan).

## The plans

Under **Plans**:

1. Choose **Monthly** or **Annual** to see those prices.
2. The note below the switch (1) says "Plans aren't on sale online yet. To get one now, email
   joanaltres@dfydata.com."
3. The cards are the same as on the [Pricing](/pricing) page. Your own plan's card says **Your plan**
   (2). The others say **Checkout opens soon** (3) and can't be clicked yet.

**Your plan** shows only for the way your plan is billed: on Essentials monthly, choosing **Annual**
shows **Checkout opens soon** on the Essentials card too. Below the cards are links to storage and fair
use, billing and refunds, and privacy. For the full comparison table, see
[Compare plans and prices](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/account-billing/plans).

## Get or change a plan now

Until checkout opens, we set up plans by hand.

1. Email joanaltres@dfydata.com, or write to us from **Help**, in **Ask us**, about **Plan and
   billing**: see [Ask us for help](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/support/ask-us).
2. Say which plan you'd like, monthly or annual, and the email address you log in with.
3. Once we've set it up, the **Current plan** card shows it.

## What you can't do here yet

Pay, switch plans or billing period yourself, cancel, add a card, or download invoices and receipts.
These come when checkout opens.

## Good to know

- **Working in a workspace someone shared with you?** Billing isn't in the menu there, and you never see
  the owner's billing. Switch to one of your own [workspaces](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/start-here/glossary#workspace) to open it.
- **A shared workspace runs on its owner's plan,** not yours.
- **AI costs aren't billed here.** [OpenRouter](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/start-here/glossary#openrouter) bills your AI use directly: see
  [What OpenRouter is, and who pays for what](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/openrouter/what-is-openrouter).
