# 3. Plans, Billing & Site Quota

HypaSites has four plans. Three are one-time payments (you pay once and get a fixed number of sites for life). One is a monthly subscription with unlimited sites.

This chapter covers what each plan includes, how to upgrade, how to add extra sites to a one-time plan, and how billing works in Stripe.

## The four plans

### Build a Site — $79.99 AUD, one-time

For trying HypaSites or building a single landing page.

* 1 site
* Unlimited edits and regenerations on that site
* Custom domain + free SSL
* Forms and embeds
* Email support

### Standard — $599 AUD, one-time *(Most popular)*

For solo operators, freelancers, and small agencies.

* 25 sites
* Unlimited edits and regenerations
* Custom domain + free SSL on every site
* Forms and embeds
* Email support

### Scale — $999 AUD, one-time

For agencies and high-volume operators.

* 50 sites
* Unlimited edits and regenerations
* Custom domain + free SSL on every site
* Forms and embeds
* Email support

### Scale Without Limits — $1,999 AUD/month

For people running serious volume.

* **Unlimited** sites
* Unlimited edits and regenerations
* Custom domain + free SSL on every site
* Forms and embeds
* Priority email support
* **Bring your own Anthropic API key** (see below)

## What "site quota" means

On the three one-time plans, your **site quota** is the total number of pages you can publish on the platform — ever. It is not a monthly cap. Once you've used your quota, you stop being able to generate new pages.

You can still edit, regenerate, and republish pages that already exist after hitting your quota. The quota only restricts creating *new* pages.

You can see your remaining quota anywhere "X of Y sites used" appears in the dashboard.

**Scale Without Limits has no quota.** You can generate as many pages as you want.

## Bring Your Own Anthropic API key (Scale Without Limits only)

Scale Without Limits lets you connect your own Anthropic API key. Every page generation, edit, and regenerate bills directly to your Anthropic account instead of being included in our cost.

This is the only plan that supports it. On the three one-time plans, generations always run through the HypaSites platform key.

Setting your key is covered in Chapter 10.

## The per-site add-on

If you're on a one-time plan and you run out of sites, you don't have to upgrade to the next plan. You can buy extra sites individually.

* **Price:** $30 AUD per site, one-time
* **Max per checkout:** 50 sites
* Available to anyone on Build, Standard, or Scale
* Not available on Scale Without Limits (no quota to top up)

Top-ups are added directly to your existing quota. If you're on Standard (25 sites) and buy 10 add-ons, your quota becomes 35.

To buy add-ons:

1. Go to **Dashboard → Account**.
2. Find the **Top up with extra sites** card.
3. Use the **+/−** buttons or quantity picker to choose how many sites you want (1–50).
4. Review the total — it updates live as you change the quantity.
5. Click **Buy X site(s)** and complete checkout.

## Upgrading to a higher plan

You can move up from any one-time plan to a higher-tier one-time plan, or subscribe to Scale Without Limits at any time.

1. Go to **Dashboard → Account**.
2. Find the **Plan & Billing** section.
3. Click **Upgrade to \[plan name]** on the plan you want.
4. Complete checkout.

Upgrading adds the new plan's sites to your existing quota — you keep what you've already paid for. So if you upgrade from Build (1 site) to Standard (25 sites), you'll have 26 sites total.

If you're already on the highest one-time plan and you want unlimited sites, click **Subscribe to Scale Without Limits**.

You can't downgrade from a one-time plan or change the order of upgrades. Always upgrade *up*.

## Managing your Scale Without Limits subscription

If you're on Scale Without Limits, all subscription management goes through the Stripe Billing Portal.

1. Go to **Dashboard → Account**.
2. Click **Manage billing** in the Plan & Billing section.
3. The Stripe portal opens in a new tab.

In the portal you can:

* Update your payment method
* Download invoices
* Cancel the subscription (takes effect at the end of the current billing period)
* Update your billing address and VAT/ABN details

If you cancel, your access to AI features ends at the period end. Existing pages stay published.

## Refunds

One-time plans are **non-refundable** once you've started generating pages. If you've paid but haven't generated anything yet, contact support and we'll review the request.

Subscription payments are non-refundable for past periods, but cancellation stops future charges immediately.

## What happens if my subscription lapses?

If your Scale Without Limits payment fails:

* We attempt to charge the card again over a few days (handled by Stripe).
* If all retries fail, your subscription goes to **past due** and AI features (new generations and edits) are paused.
* Already-published pages stay live.
* Once you update your payment method in the Stripe portal, full access returns.

## Free vs. paid

You can't use the AI features without an active plan. The dashboard is visible while you choose a plan, but every generate, edit, regenerate, and deploy call requires an active subscription or remaining one-time-pack quota. Trying to generate without a plan returns a "Payment required" message.
