# Billing & Plans

Zucms offers two plans. Both include core features — the plans differ in capacity limits.

## Plans

### Free

No credit card required.

| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Members | 1 |
| Models | 15 |
| API requests / month | 5,000 |
| Storage | 100 MB |
| Audit log retention | 30 days |
| i18n | ✓ |
| Audit log | ✓ |

### Start-Up

Billed via Stripe.

| Limit | Value |

| Audit log | ✓ |
| Priority support | ✓ |

## Upgrading

1. Go to **Organization Settings → Billing**.
2. Click **Upgrade**.
3. Add a payment method if you have not done so yet.
4. Confirm the plan change.

The new plan limits take effect immediately.

## Managing your payment method

Add or remove payment methods in **Organization Settings → Billing → Payment Methods**. Zucms uses Stripe to handle all payment data — card details are never stored on Zucms servers.

## Billing email

By default, Stripe invoices go to the organization owner's email. You can set a separate billing email in **Organization Settings → Billing → Billing Email**.

## What happens when you hit a limit

| Limit | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Max members | Inviting a new member is blocked with an error |
| Max models | Creating a new model is blocked with an error |
| Max requests | API returns `429 Too Many Requests` for the rest of the month |
| Max storage | File uploads are rejected |

Upgrade to lift the limits immediately.

## Downgrading

Contact support to downgrade. Downgrading to Free requires that your current usage fits within Free limits (members, models, storage).
