Plans and subscriptions

Plan tiers, Stripe subscriptions, add-ons, and where to change your plan in dFlow Cloud.

Your plan is the primary dFlow Cloud subscription tier.

The product models plans and many add-ons as line items on a Stripe subscription so upgrades, quantity changes, and proration stay consistent.

Plan types

Administrators configure plans in the system; customer-facing names and tiers can change. Plans are identified internally (for example Free and Pro style slugs). Each plan carries:

  • A monthly base price (marketing display may use separate fields).
  • Included limits for certain resources (see Feature access and limits).
  • Optional add-ons bundled at creation (for example included Worker Node units at zero extra charge when the plan is provisioned).

The Plans screen compares options and starts upgrades or downgrades.

Add-ons

Add-ons extend the subscription: extra Worker Nodes, databases, or other priced capabilities the UI exposes. Add-ons map to Stripe prices. When you change quantities, the subscription updates and Stripe may create prorations according to product rules (Usage and billing behavior).

Subscription lifecycle

When a subscription is created for a user, Stripe receives:

  • The plan price as a subscription item.
  • Active add-on line items (including included free units where configured).
  • collection_method: charge_automatically so renewals charge the default payment method.

Billing cycle anchor logic aligns new subscriptions to a predictable renewal boundary (first of the next calendar month in UTC in the current implementation). The in-app Subscriptions copy states that recurring invoices are aligned with monthly cycles; treat invoice dates in the product and in Stripe as authoritative.

Statuses you may see include active, past_due, and canceled, depending on payment health and cancellations.

Where to manage your plan

  1. Sign in at app.dflow.sh.
  2. Open your Organisation workspace.
  3. Go Profile → Plans (/{organisation}/account/plans).

Use Payment setup under dFlow Cloud in the sidebar if you have not added a card yet.

Scheduled changes

Some upgrades use subscription schedules so future phases (plan or add-on quantities) take effect on a defined date. If your account shows an upcoming phase, the Plans UI and Usage and billing behavior page explain what to expect on the next invoice.
