# Plans & pricing

Start free with no credit card, and move to Pro or Business when you need more. What each plan is for, and how AI credits are paid for.

## What each plan is for

- Free is the whole product at a smaller scale, on Formstep links with Formstep branding.

- Pro is for collecting at volume under your own name: your own domains, no Formstep branding, and invitation and reminder emails for requests.

- Business is for teams with compliance needs: more storage, respondent email verification, data retention and going back to an earlier version of a form.

Current prices in your currency, the annual discount and every feature plan by plan are on the [pricing page](https://formstep.io/pricing/). The numbers behind each plan are in [Limits & quotas](https://formstep.io/docs/subscription-billing/limits-quotas/#plan-limits).

A paid plan covers the whole team: when the workspace owner is on Pro or Business, every member gets its features. See [the owner’s plan covers everyone](https://formstep.io/docs/workspaces-teams/overview/#plans).

## AI credits

AI chat, translating a submission and AI Validation run on credits. No plan includes credits: on every plan you buy packs, at the same price, and they never expire. Buy them on the **AI Usage** page, from the credits row at the bottom of the sidebar. See [AI credits & usage](https://formstep.io/docs/ai/ai-credits-usage/).

## Paying

Start a plan from the **Subscription** page. Formstep bills through Polar, and you manage your payment method and invoices there. See [Billing & invoices](https://formstep.io/docs/subscription-billing/billing-invoices/) and [Upgrading & downgrading](https://formstep.io/docs/subscription-billing/upgrading-downgrading/).
