Billing & Plans

Booking and paying for a plan

How to book a plan through Stripe Checkout: billing address, promotion codes, prices, monthly or yearly billing, and who in the workspace can book.

Last updated 9 days ago

This article shows where you book a plan, what happens in Stripe Checkout, and what you need to know about prices, monthly or yearly billing, and permissions.

Where to book a plan

You book your plan from the plan selection. It appears in two places:

  • at the end of onboarding,
  • when you open the dashboard while your workspace has no active subscription.

Each plan card has its own button:

Plan Button
Essential Kostenlos starten (Start for free) as long as you can still use the trial, otherwise Starten (Start)
Advanced Starten (Start)
Premium Starten (Start)
Enterprise Demo anfordern (Request a demo) during onboarding, or Kontakt (Contact) on the Billing page

You don’t book Enterprise yourself. Both buttons open an email to sales@kiscore.ai, and the terms are agreed individually.

Stripe Checkout

KI Score handles payment for Essential, Advanced, and Premium through the payment service Stripe. In the plan selection, you also choose whether to pay monthly or yearly.

  1. Click the button for the plan you want in the plan selection.
  2. Enter your billing address and payment details in Stripe Checkout.
  3. Enter a promotion code if you have one.
  4. Complete the booking in the checkout.

Once the booking is complete, Stripe takes you back to the KI Score page in the dashboard. If you cancel the checkout, you return to KI Score without anything being booked.

If you haven’t used the free trial yet, Essential starts with 30 free days, on monthly and yearly billing alike. You still add your card in the checkout. The trial is available only once per account. If you’ve already used it, you pay from the moment you book.

Note: You can’t start a second checkout while a subscription is running. From then on, you change or cancel your plan in the Stripe customer portal, which you open with Abrechnung verwalten (Manage billing) under Einstellungen → Billing (Settings → Billing).

Promotion codes and billing address

  • Billing address: It’s required in the checkout. You can’t complete the booking without it.
  • Promotion codes: You can enter a promotion code directly in the checkout for every bookable plan.

Prices, taxes, and billing term

You’ll find current prices on the plans page. All prices are net, plus VAT. The offer shown to you in the checkout when you book is what applies.

Essential, Advanced, and Premium are available with monthly or yearly billing. The monthly rate on the plans page applies with yearly billing: Essential €39 per month (€468 a year), Advanced €170 per month (€2,040 a year), Premium €390 per month (€4,680 a year). If you pay monthly, the plan costs €45, €195, or €450 a month. You choose the billing interval in the plan selection and can change it later in the Stripe customer portal.

On a yearly plan, credits and all other allowances stay monthly: every month from the start of your subscription, you receive your plan’s credit allowance, and unused credits expire at the end of that month. A monthly plan renews every month and a yearly plan every year until you cancel. An upgrade takes effect immediately, while a downgrade or cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, on a yearly plan at the end of the subscription year.

You can’t buy additional credits. You only get more credits with a new billing period or a larger plan.

Who can book

Only the main account, the account that owns the subscription and billing, can book, change, or cancel a plan. Everyone else sees the message “Nur das Hauptkonto kann Abrechnung und Vertrag verwalten.” (Only the main account can manage billing and the contract.) This also applies to workspace admins.
