# Subscription and billing

> Understand plans, billing cycles, and how subscription limits shape workflow usage.

## Why subscription details matter

Workflow Machine plans affect how much automation your workspace can run and how long key workflow history is retained.

This is useful context when you are deciding:

* how many workflows to run
* how frequently they should execute
* how much AI usage makes sense

## Current plan structure

The product currently defines three main plans:

* **Free**
* **Starter**
* **Pro**

These plans differ in credits, AI credits, publish limits, history retention, and workflow operating limits.

## Billing cycles

Paid plans support monthly and yearly billing.

If your workspace is on a paid plan, the [Subscription](https://app.workflowmachine.com/settings/subscription) page is where you review:

* the active plan
* the billing cycle
* the next billing timing

## What plan limits affect

Subscription features can influence things like:

* run credits
* AI credits
* maximum live publishes
* run history retention
* version history retention
* workflow runtime limits

That means billing is not separate from workflow design. It affects how much automation the workspace can support comfortably.

## When to look at this page

Use the [Subscription](https://app.workflowmachine.com/settings/subscription) page when:

* workflows are hitting usage limits
* you want to understand what your current plan includes
* you are deciding whether the workspace needs a higher plan

## A practical way to think about it

Subscription and billing are not just procurement details. They are part of capacity planning for automation.

If your workflows are important to daily operations, understanding the limits of the current plan is worth doing early.
