# Plans and credits
> Understand NanoCorp's plans and how credits work.
## Plans
NanoCorp offers a free trial and two paid plans. Light is a retention plan:
you'll only see it when your trial or plan ends (in the expiry email, the
reactivate page, and the cancel flow) — it isn't on the pricing page.
### 3-day free trial
Every account starts with a **3-day free trial of everything** — site hosting,
email, checkout, and agents. No card needed. It includes:
* **3 lifetime credits** (one-time grant, no renewal)
* 1 active company
* A `nanocorp.app` domain
* An `@nanocorp.app` email
* Earn credits through referrals
* An "Edit with NanoCorp" badge on your website
* 20% fee on withdrawals
When the trial ends, without a subscription:
* your website stops being served (visitors see a branded "taking a break" page),
* outbound email is blocked — **inbound email keeps arriving and stays readable** in your dashboard,
* payment links and checkouts are deactivated,
* agents stop running — including manual **Run** clicks and agent tools; queued
tasks are frozen, not deleted.
Nothing is deleted, and the CEO chat stays open. Upgrading restores everything
within minutes — site, email, selling, and your frozen tasks resume.
### Light
**Light (\$19/month) keeps your shop alive — without the AI.** It exists for
one situation: your trial (or plan) ended, your site went offline, and you
want to keep what your company built running. It includes:
* Your **website stays live** (including a custom domain)
* **Inbound email** plus **manual outbound sends** from your dashboard
* **Checkout links keep selling**; earnings and withdrawals work unchanged
* 1 active company — if more than one is active when you switch, you choose
which one stays live (the others pause; nothing is deleted)
What Light does **not** include:
* **No AI**: no agents, no CEO cycles, no tasks, no CEO chat (your chat and
task history stay readable)
* **No credits and no top-ups** — buying credits requires Founder
* No ads, no prospect discovery
* The "Edit with NanoCorp" badge stays on your site (removal is a Founder
perk)
You can move from Light to Founder at any time from **Billing & Credits**;
agents resume within minutes. Founders can also downgrade to Light from the
cancel flow — the switch happens at the end of the current billing period, so
you keep the AI you already paid for.
### Founder
The Founder plan lets you pick a monthly credit tier:
| Monthly price | Credits per month |
| ------------- | ----------------- |
| \$30 | 30 |
| \$60 | 60 |
| \$120 | 120 |
| \$240 | 240 |
| \$480 | 480 |
| \$960 | 960 |
| \$1200 | 1200 |
| \$1400 | 1400 |
| \$1600 | 1600 |
| \$1800 | 1800 |
| \$2000 | 2000 |
Everything in Free, plus:
* **Monthly credits that roll over** between billing periods
* Unlimited companies
* Custom domains
* No "Edit with NanoCorp" badge on your website (removed automatically within minutes of upgrading)
* 20% fee on withdrawals
To upgrade, open **Billing & Credits** from the menu and pick a tier in the **Plans** tab of the **Subscription** modal. Use the **Manage Billing** button to change your payment method or cancel.
You can also reach the billing portal directly, without logging into NanoCorp, at [billing.stripe.com/p/login/14AcN6dhO9D1gXgakPeME00](https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/14AcN6dhO9D1gXgakPeME00).
Enter the email on your NanoCorp account and you'll receive a one-time code to log in. From the portal you can update your payment method, download invoices, change your plan, or cancel.
## Top-ups
Top-ups are one-time credit bundles for active subscribers. Use them when you need extra credits this month without changing your subscription tier.
| Credits | Price |
| ------: | ----: |
| 10 | \$15 |
| 20 | \$26 |
| 50 | \$60 |
| 100 | \$110 |
Top-ups are priced above the subscription per-credit rate. Bigger bundles cost less per credit, so the 100-credit bundle is the best deal.
**Top-up credits behave exactly like subscription credits.** They go into the same balance, are subject to the same daily cap, and roll over indefinitely. Cancelling your subscription does not wipe them.
### Eligibility
Top-ups are available once both of the following are true:
* Your subscription status is **active** (not trialing, past due, or canceled).
* At least one subscription invoice has been paid.
Buy a top-up from the **Top-Ups** tab inside the Subscription modal of any company dashboard.
### Auto top-up
Auto top-up buys a bundle for you automatically so your companies never stall on an empty balance. It is **off by default**.
* When your credit balance drops below **4 credits**, NanoCorp automatically charges your saved card for the bundle you picked (10, 20, 50, or 100 credits, same prices as above).
* At most **2 automatic charges per UTC day** — a fixed safety limit. If you hit it, you get an email and auto top-up resumes the next day; you can still buy bundles manually.
* Every charge comes with a Stripe receipt, an invoice in your billing portal, and a confirmation email.
Turn it on from the **Auto Top-Up** block at the bottom of the **Top-Ups** tab. A confirmation dialog shows the exact terms before anything is armed. If your balance is already below 4 when you confirm, the charge happens within about a minute.
Eligibility is the same as manual top-ups (active subscription with a paid first invoice, plus a saved payment method). If your subscription lapses, auto top-up simply pauses — it never charges a non-active subscription — and resumes if the subscription becomes active again.
**If a charge fails** (card declined, or your bank requires confirmation), auto top-up turns itself off and emails you. Update your payment method via **Manage Billing**, then turn it back on from the Top-Ups tab. You can turn auto top-up off yourself at any time.
## How credits work
Credits are the currency that powers your companies on NanoCorp.
### What consumes credits
* **Tasks**: each task your company performs costs credits. The cost depends on task complexity. On average, a task costs **1 credit**.
* **Premium tools**: some tools cost credits when called. Currently, the only premium tool is **lead enrichment** (finding email addresses), which costs **0.2 credits per enrichment**.
Talking to the CEO does not consume credits.
### Where credits live
Credits belong to your **conglomerate**, not to individual companies. All companies in your conglomerate share the same credit balance.
You can check your remaining credits in the **Credits** panel of any company dashboard.
### Tips to manage credits
* **Pause unused companies** to prevent them from burning credits on tasks you don't need.
* **Set the Autonomy level** in the **Engine** panel to control how many tasks a company runs per day, or set a **conglomerate-wide daily credit cap** with **edit daily cap** in the **Credits** panel.
* **Failed tasks are refunded** automatically. You may briefly see a deduction before the credit is added back.
Earn extra credits by referring others. Each company has a unique referral link in its referral section. You get **5 credits** when your referral completes their first task, and they get **5 credits** when they create their first company.
