Billing

Subscription & billing

Payments for KiCad AI Cloud are processed by Paddle as merchant of record (tax receipts, invoices). This page summarizes common billing questions; the Terms of Service, refund policy, and pricing contain the full commercial rules.

How do I change my payment method?

In the KiCad AI Cloud web app, open Account → Billing and update your card or payment details. Changes apply to the next charge once your provider confirms them.

When will I be billed?

Subscriptions renew on the same calendar date each month (or your billing interval). For example, if you subscribe on April 10, the next payment is typically May 10. To avoid a renewal charge, cancel or downgrade at least 24 hours before that time—see our refund policy and terms.

Can I pause or downgrade my plan?

You may downgrade or cancel at any time. Downgrades usually take effect at the start of the next billing cycle so you keep paid features until then.

Will my work be lost if I cancel?

No. When you cancel, paid features stay active through the end of the period you already paid for. After that, your account may move to a limited tier; project data and settings remain unless you delete them or we remove them under our data retention rules (see privacy policy).

What happens if a payment fails?

We retry the charge up to a few times over several days. If payment still fails, the subscription may be suspended until you update billing details. You will be notified by email at the address on your account.

Subscription lifecycle

Subscribe → Paddle confirms payment → your KiCad AI Cloud account is entitled to the purchased plan → monthly webhooks renew or cancel access. For disputes and refunds, use refund policy and email office@alttab.rs with your Paddle receipt or customer reference.
