# Plans and pricing

Every plan includes all features and unlimited templates, including the free plan. Plans differ in two things only: how many documents you can generate per rolling 30 days, and how long the PDFs are kept.

## The plans

| Plan | Price | Documents per rolling 30 days | PDFs kept for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Free** | $0 | 100 | 7 days |
| **Starter** | $9 per month | 1,000 | 30 days |
| **Unlimited** | $29 per month | Unlimited | 90 days |

The plans are also shown in the app on the **Help** page under **Pricing**. There are no charges per document: you pay the monthly price of your plan and nothing else.

## What counts as a document

One document is one PDF generated from Shopify Flow or through the API.

| | Counts toward your plan |
| --- | --- |
| A document generated by the Generate document action in Flow | Yes |
| A document generated through the Developer API or MCP | Yes |
| The live preview and **Preview PDF** in the editor | No |
| Downloading a stored PDF in the app | No |
| A document that failed | No |
| A Flow retry of a step that already succeeded | No |

## The rolling 30 days

The allowance is not tied to a calendar month. At any moment, the documents of the last 30 days count. A document stops counting 30 days after it was generated, so your allowance frees up gradually.

The Home page shows where you stand: **Plan limit (30 days)** with the number used, and your **Current plan**.

## When the allowance is used up

Further documents are refused until the rolling window frees up or you change to a larger plan. In Flow, the Generate document step fails with a message that the plan's documents for the last 30 days are used up. Through the API, the request is refused in the same way. Your templates, the editor, previews and downloads keep working.

Nothing is generated and billed on top of your plan. To keep generating right away, change to a larger plan: the new allowance applies at once.

## Get warned in time

Under **Notification settings** on the Home page you can turn on two emails:

- **Quota warning** - when your usage crosses a threshold you choose.
- **Quota exceeded** - when documents start getting blocked.

The shop owner's email receives them by default, and you can add more recipients.

## How long PDFs are kept

Each plan keeps generated PDFs for a number of days: 7 on Free, 30 on Starter and 90 on Unlimited. After that the file is deleted and the history row stays. See [Document history and downloads](https://docs.workflow-documents.app/document-history.md).

## Change your plan

Plans are managed by Shopify. Select **Current plan** on the Home page to open the plan selection in your Shopify admin. The charge appears on your Shopify invoice.
