The Free plan includes 500 MB of storage (about 5 files), 3 practice quizzes per month, 10 AI messages per day, access to a 50 question bank, and basic progress tracking.

How to upgrade

Upgrading takes a minute and gives you immediate access to the new features. Payment is handled securely by Stripe.

  1. Go to /pricing to compare the Free, Basic, Apprentice, and Pro plans.
  2. Choose monthly or yearly billing using the toggle at the top.
  3. Pick the plan you want and follow the prompts to sign up or sign in.
  4. Enter your card details on the secure Stripe checkout page and confirm.
  5. Your new features unlock right away, and you can view your plan any time at /settings/billing.

When you upgrade, you get the new features immediately rather than waiting for your next billing date.

Change or cancel your plan

You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees.

When you downgrade or cancel, you keep your current features until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that, your account moves to the lower plan or back to Free.

  1. Go to /settings/billing.
  2. Select Manage Subscription to open the secure Stripe billing portal.
  3. Choose to change your plan, switch between monthly and yearly, or cancel.
  4. Confirm your choice. If you cancel, the date your access ends is shown on the billing page.

If a cancellation is scheduled, your billing page shows the exact date access continues until.

Manage your payment method

Your card and invoices are managed inside the Stripe billing portal, so your payment details are always handled securely.

  1. Go to /settings/billing.
  2. Select Manage Subscription to open the Stripe portal.
  3. Update your card, change your billing details, or download past invoices.
  4. Save your changes and return to Red Seal Hub.

If a payment fails, update your card here to keep your access without interruption.

Add-ons: extra voice and images

Need more than your plan includes? You can add extra capacity without changing your whole plan.

Every paid plan covers one trade, and you choose it when you sign up.

  • Voice: 50 min for 4.99, 100 min for 7.99, 200 min for 12.99 (one-time)
