Billing & Subscriptions
Managing subscriptions, usage, invoices, and payments in Speaknode
Speaknode uses a subscription-based billing model with usage-based pricing for voice minutes.
Viewing Your Current Plan
- Navigate to Settings > Billing.
- Your current plan is displayed at the top of the page, showing:
- Plan Name: The name of your active subscription.
- Included Minutes: The number of voice minutes included in your plan per billing period.
- Price: The monthly or annual cost.
Usage
The billing page shows your current usage for the billing period:
- Voice Minutes Used: The total minutes consumed across all conversations (inbound, outbound, and widget sessions).
- Minutes Remaining: How many included minutes are left before overage billing begins.
- Usage Breakdown: A chart or table showing usage over time.
Usage resets at the start of each billing period. Unused minutes do not roll over.
Changing Your Plan
- Navigate to Settings > Billing.
- Click Change Plan.
- Review the available plans and their features.
- Select the plan you want to switch to.
- Confirm the change.
Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period.
Invoices
- Navigate to Settings > Billing.
- Scroll down to the Invoices section.
- View past invoices with dates, amounts, and status (paid, pending).
- Click on any invoice to download a PDF.
Payment Method
- Navigate to Settings > Billing.
- In the Payment Method section, click Update to add or change your credit card.
- You will be redirected to a secure checkout page hosted by the payment provider.
- Enter your card details and confirm.
Major credit and debit cards are supported. Your card details are never stored on Speaknode servers — they are handled by the payment provider directly.
Overage Billing
If you exceed your plan's included voice minutes, additional minutes are billed at the overage rate specified in your plan.
- Overage charges are calculated at the end of the billing period.
- They appear as a separate line item on your invoice.
- You will receive an email notification when you reach 80% and 100% of your included minutes.
If you frequently exceed your included minutes, consider upgrading to a higher plan to get a better per-minute rate.
