OnAirFlow has three plans — Creator, Studio, and Newsroom — billed through Stripe. Every new organization starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Billing is managed by admins from **Settings**, under **Billing** in the **Account** group.

## Plans

| | Creator | Studio | Newsroom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (monthly) | $19/mo | $59/mo | $149/mo |
| Seats | 1 | Up to 5 | Unlimited |
| Shows | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |

All plans include the rundown board, live show control, flash messaging, the teleprompter, real-time collaboration, and exports (Markdown, PDF, DOCX).

Plan-gated features:

- **Templates and auto-scheduled shows** — Studio and Newsroom.
- **Custom role permissions** — Newsroom only (see [Team, roles & permissions](/docs/guide/team-roles-permissions)).
- **Managed storage cap** — 1 GB on Creator, 10 GB on Studio, unlimited on Newsroom (see [Storage & attachments](/docs/guide/storage)).

## The free trial

Your trial runs for 7 days with no card on file. During the trial you get the Studio seat allowance, so you can invite a small team before committing. If the trial ends before you pick a plan, your account is locked but your data is preserved for 30 days — subscribe to pick up where you left off.

## Subscribe to a plan

You need the admin role for this.

1. Go to **Settings**, then open **Billing** under **Account**.
2. Click **Select Plan** on the plan you want. You are taken to Stripe checkout to enter payment details.
3. After payment you return to OnAirFlow with a confirmation that your subscription is active. If you cancel checkout, nothing is charged.

## Manage your subscription

The **Billing** page shows your current plan, its status (Trial, Active, Past Due, Canceled), and your next billing date or trial end date.

- **Change plans** — manage plan changes through the billing portal.
- **Manage Billing** — on Studio and Newsroom, this button opens the Stripe billing portal, where you can update your payment method and manage the subscription.
- **Cancel** — you can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the current billing period. The Billing page shows the cancellation date once scheduled. Cancelling stops the renewal; it does not refund unused time in a period that has already started.
- **Past due payments** — if a payment fails, your plan shows Past Due and you keep access while Stripe retries; update your payment method to avoid interruption. If the subscription ultimately ends, the account locks until you resubscribe.

## When you hit a plan limit

If an action would exceed a plan limit — for example, adding a sixth teammate on Studio — the app blocks it with a message telling you the limit and suggesting an upgrade. Agent users do not count toward the human seat limit.

## Your data

Under **Settings**, **Data & Privacy** (in the **Account** group) lets admins export organization data in JSON or CSV, submit an account deletion request (deletion is scheduled, with a window to cancel), and manage consent preferences. Data retention for event logs and analytics also varies by plan.
