Plans and billing

What a build is#

A build is one Ableton Live set made from your setlist: one press of GENERATE PROJECT that finishes. Building the same set again (after a change, say) is another build.

A build that fails, or is stopped before it starts, doesn't count. Only finished sets do.

The plans#

• Free gives every account 2 builds in total, with no card. They don't reset, and they don't expire. Free builds have every feature Plus has: the Free card lists only the basics, but nothing is held back.
• Plus, Pro and Premium give you a number of builds each month: 20, 50 and 200.
• Every plan, Free included, has the same features: Guide analysis, Tempo automation, Transpose stems, Stem auto-wire, Planning Center import, Planning Center Labels, Marker styles and Open in Ableton. Each one is explained in this manual.
• Pro and Premium add Project History.
• Custom Templates are in beta and open on every plan. See Custom Templates.

You can see your plan and how many builds you've used in Settings → Account & Billing.

When you run out of builds#

On Free, after your 2 builds, the app asks you to choose Plus or Pro to keep building. On a paid plan, when the month's builds are used, the GENERATE button says VIEW GENERATION OPTIONS →.

From version 2.8.3, the finished card on Free tells you how many free builds you have left. After your last one it says "You've used your 2 free builds." and what Plus gives you (20 builds a month, with everything you have on Free), at the price on the plan list, with See Plans. See The finished card.

From version 2.8.4, both places let you choose without looking further: the finished card after your last free build, and the Choose Plus or Pro to continue screen the app shows once your free builds are used. Plus and Pro sit side by side, with their builds a month and their prices from the plan list, shown Yearly first (you can switch to Monthly). Each has a button, like Start Plus Yearly → or Start Pro Yearly →, that opens that plan's Stripe checkout in your browser straight away.

Upgrade#

• On the website: go to Pricing, choose Yearly or Monthly, and press Get Plus or Get Pro. Sign in (or create your free account) if you haven't, then pay with Stripe. Yearly costs less than twelve months.
• In the app: press Upgrade → in Settings to open PICK YOUR PLAN. Plus and Pro open the same Stripe checkout in your browser. From version 2.8.4, their cards open on Yearly; switch a card to Monthly if you'd rather pay by the month.

Premium is coming later: it isn't on sale yet. The app doesn't sell Premium: from version 2.8.4, Premium's card in the plan list says Coming later, with no price and no checkout. If you already have Premium, its card says CURRENT. The prices in the plan list are the ones a new subscriber pays.

After you pay, press Refresh Plan in Settings if the app doesn't show your new plan yet. Stripe e-mails you a receipt.

Change your plan#

Already subscribed and want a different plan? Switching isn't self-serve on the website yet. E-mail feedback@plan2liveapp.com and we switch it for you on your current subscription, so there's no second charge.

From version 2.8.3, if you already pay for a plan and pick a bigger one in the app's plan list, the app opens Stripe's billing page for your subscription instead of starting a second checkout.

Manage or cancel#

You can do it in two places.

On your account page on plan2liveapp.com:

• Manage billing → opens Stripe, where you can update your card.
• Cancel subscription → cancels it.

In the app, from version 2.8.3, in Settings → Account & Billing:

• Manage Subscription opens the same Stripe billing page in your browser.
• Cancel Subscription… opens Stripe's page for cancelling it.

Either way, your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, then your account goes back to Free.

Prices are in US dollars and don't include taxes that may apply.
