Subscription and billing
The Subscription page is your account's billing home. It shows your current plan and trial status at a glance, and hands off to Stripe's secure billing portal for anything that touches your payment method or invoices — InkSpoke never stores your card itself.
Find it in your web account under Account → Subscription (/account/subscription) after you sign in.
What the page shows
The plan and trial details on this page are live — they come straight from your account, so they always reflect your real status:
- Your current plan — Free, Pro, or Perpetual.
- Trial status — if you're on a Pro trial, whether it's still active and how much is left (see the free trial for exactly how the allowance works).
- Renewal date — when a paid subscription next renews.
- Cancel-at-period-end — whether your subscription is set to stop at the end of the current billing period rather than renew.
What you see depends on which plan you're on:
| Your plan | What the Subscription page shows |
|---|---|
| Free | An Upgrade to Pro → button that takes you to the pricing page. |
| Pro — on trial | A trial banner showing your remaining Pro trial, with a Convert now → button to start a paid plan. |
| Pro — subscribed | Your renewal date, whether it cancels at period end, and links into the billing portal to manage it. |
| Perpetual | "Lifetime access. No recurring charges." — no renewal to manage. |
Here's the shape of the page for a subscribed Pro user:

Managing billing in the Stripe portal
Payments run through Stripe, so anything that changes money or your billing details lives in the Stripe Customer Portal. From the Subscription page, these actions open the portal in a new tab:
| Action on the page | Where it takes you |
|---|---|
| Update payment method | Stripe billing portal — swap your card. |
| Edit (billing address) | Stripe billing portal — update your address. |
| Download all / a single invoice PDF | Stripe billing portal — your real invoice history and downloads. |
| Upgrade to Pro → (Free plan) | The InkSpoke pricing page. |
Inside the Stripe portal you can update your payment method, download invoice PDFs, change your billing address, and change or cancel your subscription — this is the authoritative place for all of that.
The payment-method card and the invoice list shown directly on the Subscription page are illustrative placeholders — not your actual card or invoices. To see and manage the real thing, open the Stripe billing portal with Update payment method (or any invoice link). Likewise, to switch your billing cycle or cancel, do it inside the Stripe portal, not from the on-page buttons.
Plan prices can change, so InkSpoke points you to the authoritative source rather than repeating a number here. Check the plans and pricing page (or inkspoke.app/pricing) for the current cost of Pro and Perpetual.
Where you buy and upgrade
Subscriptions and the one-time Perpetual license are purchased on the web through Stripe — in-app purchase on mobile isn't available, so mobile users subscribe here too. Perpetual is a one-time payment that you then activate on a device with a license key. See subscriptions and licenses for the full flow.
For what each plan includes and the limits behind them, see plans and pricing and usage and limits.
