Annual billing and monthly credits
Annual billing changes the payment schedule, not the credit schedule.
What is charged annually — the base plan and every paid brand or seat line item use annual Stripe prices. The annual total is ten times the monthly rate, so a full year includes two months free. Current annual prices are $990 for Connect and $1,990 for Agent. An additional Connect brand is $250/year, an additional Agent brand is $990/year, and an additional seat is $250/year.
What still happens monthly — Connect receives 5,000 fresh credits and Agent receives 10,000 fresh credits every month. Each paid brand and seat contributes its advertised credits every month too. Usage never competes for one year-long pool.
Credit-renewal date — monthly credit windows are anchored to the date and UTC time when the annual subscription began. For starts on the 29th, 30th, or 31st, shorter months end on their last valid day; later months return to the original anchor day when possible.
Rollover — unused credits are evaluated at every monthly credit renewal and can roll into the next month up to one fresh month's allowance. A yearly invoice renewal is separate from this monthly rollover.
Adding a brand or seat — Magister previews and attaches the matching annual SKU. Stripe shows the prorated amount due for the rest of the current annual invoice period, and the add-on's credits become available for the current monthly credit period.
Where dates and totals appear — Organization Settings → Billing labels subscription charges per year, while the included-credit line remains per month. Stripe's customer portal shows the annual invoice and renewal date. Credit-limit notices use the next monthly credit-renewal date.
If an annual total or add-on is ever shown as a monthly charge in a confirmation screen, stop before confirming and contact team@magistermarketing.com.
