# Manage billing

> Change plans, monitor usage, and manage billing

Manage your Braintrust subscription, track usage, and understand your costs. This section covers plan changes, usage monitoring, cost optimization, and common billing questions.

## Plans

* **Starter** (\$0 platform fee) — Start building and evaluating AI applications for free with generous usage limits. No credit card required.
  * Best for individual developers and small teams.
  * On-demand usage pricing applies when your usage grows beyond the free-tier.
* **Pro** (\$249/month) — Everything in Starter, plus advanced observability, security features, and higher usage limits.
  * Best for growing teams and production applications.
  * Lower on-demand usage rates than Starter.
* **Enterprise** (Custom pricing) — Everything in Pro, plus custom usage limits, advanced security and compliance features, flexible deployment options (BYOC and self-hosted), and dedicated support.
  * Best for large organizations with enterprise requirements.
  * Annual invoice.

See [Plans and limits](https://docs.braintrust.dev/plans-and-limits.md) for a detailed comparison of features and usage limits.

## Change your plan

[Upgrade or downgrade](https://docs.braintrust.dev/admin/billing/change-plan.md) between Starter, Pro, and Enterprise plans. Learn about:

* Upgrading from Starter to Pro or Enterprise
* Downgrading to a lower tier
* Enabling pay-as-you-go on Starter
* How plan changes affect your features and billing
* Redeeming coupon codes on Starter and Pro plans

## Monitor usage

[Track your usage and costs](https://docs.braintrust.dev/admin/billing/monitor-usage.md) throughout the billing period:

* See your current plan and projected on-demand usage at a glance
* View daily usage and cost charts for logs, scores, and built-in inference tokens, by organization or project
* Open a detailed usage breakdown (Pro, and Starter with on-demand usage)
* Set up spend alerts by email or Slack on plans with on-demand usage
* Understand usage metrics and billing cycles

## Optimize costs

[Optimize your Braintrust usage and LLM spend](https://docs.braintrust.dev/admin/billing/optimize-costs.md) without giving up quality:

* Reduce duplicate logging
* Control online scoring volume and choose cost-effective scorers
* Compare lower-cost models with evaluations
* Run evaluations through provider batch APIs
* Measure the effect of each change

## View account billing

When Braintrust links several of your organizations under one Enterprise contract, they share a billing account. To view it:

1. Go to ** Settings** > [** Billing**](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/~/configuration/billing).
2. In the current plan card, click **View account billing**.

The **Account details** page shows the account name, the billing period, and the billing email for the account's active subscription. When more than one organization is linked, it also lists them, and you can click **Open organization** to go to one. To link another organization to the account, [contact Braintrust](https://www.braintrust.dev/contact).

For Enterprise accounts billed by invoice, the page also has an **Invoices** section. It lists up to 10 issued invoices per page by number and date. Click an invoice to open its hosted invoice in a new tab. When there is more than one page, use **Previous** and **Next** to navigate the list and see the **Showing X-Y** range. Draft invoices are not listed. If the account has no invoices, the section shows **No invoices yet.** If invoices cannot be fetched, it shows **Invoices could not be loaded. Try again later.** The section does not appear for accounts that are not billed by invoice.

Members of the [**Owners**](https://docs.braintrust.dev/admin/access-control.md#built-in-permission-groups) permission group can view account billing by default. To let anyone else view it, grant the **View account billing** permission in ** Settings** > [** Permissions**](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/~/configuration/permissions/organization). Because the account spans organizations, a member needs this access in every linked organization. Without it, the **View account billing** button doesn't appear, and the billing page shows a banner telling them to ask an owner for the permission in each organization.

Viewing account billing doesn't grant access to projects, logs, or other data in the linked organizations.

## Billing FAQ

[Common questions](https://docs.braintrust.dev/admin/billing/faq.md) about pricing, billing, and plans:

* Plans and payment (which plan is right for me, how to change plans, payment methods, invoices)
* Usage and limits (processed data, scores, tracking usage, spending limits)
* Legacy plans (feature preservation, upgrade/downgrade impacts)
