# Billing
> Manage organization-level subscriptions, distribute credits, and allocate seats to members.
## Organization Subscriptions
qBraid Organizations support centralized billing, allowing an organization to purchase subscriptions and qBraid credits at the org level and distribute them to individual members.
Rather than each user managing their own plan, the organization owner purchases a subscription on behalf of the team. Admins can then allocate those resources — credits and plan seats — across members as needed.
To manage your organization's subscription and billing details, visit the [Billing dashboard](https://account.qbraid.com/organizations/billing).
### Buying a Subscription
To purchase a subscription, go to the **Billing** tab and select a plan tier and billing interval (monthly or annual). A minimum of **2 seats** is required. Once purchased, seats are immediately available to allocate to members.
#### Plan Tiers
| Feature | Standard | Pro |
| ------------------------- | -------- | --------- |
| Monthly CPU compute hours | 400 hrs | 2,000 hrs |
| Disk storage | 50 GB | 150 GB |
| AI chat usage | 5x | 15x |
| Priority support | — | Included |
Seat pricing for organizations is the same as individual plans, with a minimum purchase of **2 seats**. Annual billing offers a 20% discount over monthly.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) |
| :------- | :----------- | :----------------- |
| Standard | \$20 / seat | \$16 / seat |
| Pro | \$100 / seat | \$80 / seat |
Annual billing is the most cost-effective option for teams with stable
headcount.
### Managing Your Subscription
From the **Billing** tab, admins can make the following changes to an active subscription:
* **Change plan tier** — Upgrade or downgrade between Standard and Pro.
* **Change billing interval** — Switch between monthly and annual billing.
* **Add seats** — Purchase additional seats to grow your team.
## Seat Management
Organization owners / admins can assign a Standard or Pro seat to any member from the **Billing** tab. A member with an assigned seat receives the full benefits of that plan for the duration of the billing cycle.
* Seats are billed monthly at the organization level.
* Unassigned seats remain in the organization's seat pool and can be reassigned at any time.
* Seats can be revoked from a member at any time — the seat immediately returns to the org pool and can be reassigned to another member.
## Credit Distribution
Organizations can purchase qBraid credits in bulk and distribute them to individual members. Each credit is worth \$0.01 USD and can be used across all pay-as-you-go resources including QPUs, GPU instances, and simulators.
### How It Works
1. The organization owner or admin purchases credits from the **Billing** tab.
2. Credits are added to the **organization credit pool**.
3. Admins can allocate credits to individual members from the **Billing** tab and choosing the **Transfer** button.
4. Each member draws from their allocated balance when consuming pay-as-you-go resources.
### Setting Credit Limits
Admins can configure a default credit allocation applied automatically to new members. If a member's balance reaches zero, their access to paid resources is paused until more credits are allocated.
Set a conservative default allocation for new members and increase it on a
per-user basis as needed. This prevents unexpected overuse while still giving
individuals flexibility.
