# Billing
Pullbay uses a credit-based billing model designed to give you control over costs. You choose a plan, use credits, and top up as needed. **Exact pricing is available in the** [**Pullbay dashboard**](https://app.pullbay.com/)**.**
***
## Billing Model
1. **Choose a plan** — Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation, rate limit tier, and support level
2. **Use credits** — Requests consume credits based on the data returned
3. **Top up as needed** — Add more credits at any time without changing your plan
For a full explanation of how credits work, see the [Credits guide](broken://pages/b53901637d60f7a7490ba46f97cdc498faca4f3d).
***
## Plans
Plans are billed monthly and include:
* A base credit allocation (refreshes each billing cycle)
* A rate limit tier (requests per minute)
* A support tier
Available plans: **Free**, **Starter**, **Growth**, **Scale**.
For specific plan pricing, credit allocations, and feature comparisons, see the [Plans guide](broken://pages/d42df7cbba9fd5a924ac96071d54aa509c4e2cf5) or the [Billing section of your dashboard](https://app.pullbay.com/).
***
## Billing Cycle
* Plans renew on the **same day each month**
* Plan credits **refresh at renewal** — unused plan credits do **not** roll over
* Top-up credits (purchased separately) **do not expire**
***
## Adding Credits
You can add credits at any time without changing your plan:
1. Go to **Billing** in your dashboard
2. Click **Add Credits**
3. Choose an amount
4. Complete payment
Credits are added to your account immediately and do not expire.
***
## Auto-Reload
Auto-reload automatically tops up your credits when your balance falls below a threshold:
1. Go to **Billing > Auto-reload**
2. Enable auto-reload
3. Set your **threshold** (e.g., reload when balance drops below 100 credits)
4. Set your **reload amount** (e.g., add 500 credits automatically)
This prevents service interruption if you run out of credits unexpectedly.
***
## Payment Methods
Pullbay accepts:
* Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
* PayPal (available in some regions)
Payment information is stored securely and processed by **Stripe**.

* Monthly plan charges
* Credit top-ups
Access invoices from **Billing > Invoices** in your dashboard. Each invoice includes:
* Line items with descriptions
* Tax breakdown (where applicable)
* Payment status
Email receipts are sent automatically after each charge. You can also download receipts directly from the dashboard.

* New rate limits apply right away
* You receive prorated credit for the current period
### Downgrading

***
## Cancellation
You can cancel your plan at any time:
1. Go to **Billing > Plan**
2. Click **Cancel Plan**
3. Confirm cancellation
After cancellation:
* You keep access until the end of your billing period

Business customers may be able to provide tax IDs for exemption, depending on their region.
***
## Frequently Asked Questions
Do unused plan credits roll over?
No. Monthly plan credits reset at each billing cycle. Top-up credits (purchased separately) do not expire.
Can I cancel my plan mid-month?
Yes. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No partial refunds are issued.
Is billing handled securely?
Yes. Payment information is processed by Stripe and never stored on Pullbay's servers.
What payment methods are accepted?
Credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and PayPal in some regions.
How do I get a receipt?
Email receipts are sent automatically after each charge. You can also download them from **Billing > Invoices** in your dashboard.
What happens if my payment fails?
Your account may be limited if a payment fails. Update your payment method in **Billing > Payment Methods** and contact support if needed.
Can I set a spending limit?
You can control spending by setting an auto-reload threshold and not enabling auto-reload, which means your credits won't exceed what you've manually purchased. Configure usage alerts in your account settings.
