Billing
Shorebird uses Stripe for all billing. We accept payment in any method that Stripe accepts.
Annual billing, invoice billing and other payment methods are also available to customers purchasing over 1M patches per month, or custom enterprise plans. See our pricing page for more information.
The Shorebird Pro plan costs $20 per month, due at the beginning of each billing cycle, starting with time of purchase.
Shorebird charges based on successful patch installs, which are reported by your app to Shorebird servers on successful launch of your application with a newly installed patch (you are not charged if the user never launches the patch).
The Shorebird Pro plan includes 50,000 patch installs and supports optional overage billing for installs beyond 50,000.
See our blog for instructions on how to enable overage billing.
Overages will appear on the next month’s invoice. For example, if you purchase a Pro plan (which includes 50,000 patch installs) and use 100,000 patches every month:
- You will be billed $20 at time of purchase (Month 1)
- At the start of every month afterwards, you will be billed for the 50,000 for the that month, as well as the 50,000 overages from the previous month, for a total of $40.
You can view records of patch installs in your accounts page on the Shorebird Console. These numbers are updated hourly.
Invoices are sent at the end of the billing period by Stripe. Since they are sent by Stripe they do not use your Shorebird account email, rather the email you have set within Stripe. For most cases these emails are identical however you can change them to be different.
If you are a paying customer and would like your invoices sent to a different email than you log in with, you can change such within Stripe:
-
Navigate to your “Account” panel within Shorebird.
-
Click on the drop-down menu on the right side.
-
Select “View Billing Portal”
This will open Stripe’s billing portal which includes the ability to change the Stripe email, which is where invoices are sent.
