Billing & Plans

Billing & Plans is where you manage your DayZero subscription, payment method, add-on modules, and AI usage. It shows your current plan tier (and firm tier for advisory accounts), trial status, and monthly cost breakdown. Plan and add-on changes process through Stripe Checkout and the Stripe Customer Portal, with a prorated preview before you confirm. Open Settings > Billing for solo and advisory accounts.

Key capabilities

  • Plan and status hero with tier, billing status, monthly total, and next billing date
  • Plan tiers: Free, Self-Directed, Fully Managed, Advisory Firm Client, Grandfathered
  • Firm tiers for advisory accounts: Starter, Professional, Enterprise
  • Seven add-on modules with per-module monthly pricing
  • Add/Manage Payment Method via Stripe Checkout and Customer Portal
  • Prorated charge preview before enabling an add-on; access until period end on removal
  • Trial badge with days remaining
  • Cost breakdown of base plan plus active add-ons
  • AI Usage panel: requests vs limit, tokens, estimated cost, 40-day trend, top users
  • Firm-wide vs this-business AI usage toggle for advisory accounts

How it works

Plan and add-on changes are priced and processed through Stripe; access reflects the resulting subscription.

How to use it

  1. Open Settings > Billing to see plan, status, and monthly total.
  2. Click Add Payment Method or Manage Payment Method if you have a subscription.
  3. In Add-Ons, toggle a module — a prorated preview appears before you confirm.
  4. Confirm to Enable & Charge or Disable Add-On (access continues until period end).
  5. Review AI Usage for requests remaining, tokens, and daily trend.
  6. Advisory accounts: toggle Firm-wide / This business to scope AI stats.

Pro tips

  • The free trial includes all add-ons — evaluate everything, then keep only what you need.
  • Disabling an add-on removes feature access but does not delete your data.
  • Removing an add-on is not refunded — access runs to the end of the billing period.
  • You need a payment method on file to toggle add-ons.
  • Demo businesses cannot manage billing — switch to a real business or contact sales.
