# Billing

## Platform Tiers

This section of our guide contains all of the information regarding billing and our subscriptions.

Currently, Transmute offers three subscription tiers:

1. **Personal** – Quick start to taking control of your data with Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs)
2. **Professional ($50/month)** – Enter the fast lane by adding additional members using DIDs and VCs to securely digitize your trade documents.
3. **Enterprise Plan (Custom Pricing)** – Go full throttle and scale to your specific business needs with custom added workflows, credentials and integrations to optimize your bottom line, please contact sales [here](https://transmute.typeform.com/to/lIIH9f37).

## Navigation

You can navigate to billing by clicking on the organization dropdown menu in the top right corner and selecting "Billing".

This page will show you your current billing level. In the case of a new account, this will be PERSONAL, with no billing history.

## Upgrading to Professional

If you've used the platform to a point where you need to take advantage of more resources or functionality, you can upgrade to Professional to unlock more benefits.

### Select the plan

This will take you to a page to fill in your billing information for a credit card and billing address.

### Enter Credit Card Information

You will be given a 30 day trial for the Professional tier, after which your card will be billed at the price indicated per month. You can cancel before the end of the 30 days to continue using the Personal tier.&#x20;

Once you have upgraded your plan, you will be shown a confirmation page for the update.&#x20;

### Confirming Upgraded plan

Once you return to the billing page, you will see that Professional is now your selected plan.

> **Note** that the free trial period of 30 days will only be implemented once per organization. If you cancel before the end of the trial period and then decide to upgrade later, you will be billed for the 30 days period when upgrading.&#x20;

### Downgrading

The Transmute platform allows for plans to be downgraded.

&#x20;To downgrade your subscription, click on the "Downgrade" button from the Billing page.

<figure><img src="/files/Y0DwwapfnjMsO1EA22Cz" alt=""><figcaption><p>Subscription plan downgrade confirmation modal.</p></figcaption></figure>

A modal will appear to confirm the operation. Click on "No, Keep Subscription" to retain the subscription as-is. Click on "Okay, Downgrade Me" to confirm the downgrade.

Once downgraded, if any resource is over the tier limit, the entire application will be put into read-only mode where no new resources can be created until all of the resources are under their respective limits.

<figure><img src="/files/GJRkt5vzSs5vb4Vhelvh" alt=""><figcaption><p>Renew Subscription in the Transmute platform.</p></figcaption></figure>

Downgrading will cancel the subscription, which will stop recurring billing. The Pro tier will continue to be active until the end of the current billing period, after which the tier will be set to the free tier.&#x20;

Clicking on the "Renew Now" link in the page header will re-enable automatic billing for the subscript to allow for uninterrupted use of service.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.transmute.industries/verifiable-data-platform/platform-guide/billing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
