Monthly vs. Annual Billing
Autochart.ai offers two billing cycles to fit your budget and preferences:
Monthly Billing:
Benefits: Pay on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitment.
Flexibility: Ideal for users who want to try the service or expect short-term use.
Costs: Typically higher per month compared to annual billing.
Annual Billing:
Benefits: Pay for a full year upfront, often at a discounted rate compared to monthly billing.
Savings: Provides overall cost savings if you’re committed to using the service long-term.
Commitment: Requires upfront payment for the entire year, which is non-refundable after the initial trial.
The Billing section in Autochart.ai makes it easy to manage your subscription, payment details, and billing history. Whether you choose monthly flexibility or annual savings, you have full control over your plan preferences.
