## Two ways to pay

Scribora supports recurring account plans and project-scoped one-off book purchases. They solve different problems: recurring plans are for ongoing creation across projects, while one-off editions are for finishing a specific book without changing the account subscription.

## Recurring account tiers

The account tiers are Free, Starter, Pro, and Enterprise. Prices, credit allowances, project limits, and feature limits are returned by Scribora's billing catalog and can change without this documentation becoming stale.

## Credits are operation-based

Credits pay for generation and processing operations. A Pro chapter costs more than a single-pass chapter because the Pro pipeline performs additional critique, revision, and quality work.

## Account tier and project tier can differ

Most limits come from the recurring account tier, but a one-off book can raise the effective tier of one project. The backend always uses the higher of the account tier and the mapped one-off tier, so buying an edition cannot reduce an existing subscriber's capabilities.

Feature checks such as editing, AI images, cover generation, themes, humanization, and fact checking all use that effective project entitlement where applicable.

## One-off credit bundles are derived, not hardcoded

The credit grant behind a one-off book is calculated from the same operation costs used by the product: research/scraping, outline generation, the edition's chapter pipeline, and export. The Pro edition also includes the current Pro image allowance in that calculation.

That keeps the bundle aligned when operation costs change instead of relying on a duplicated magic number in the checkout flow or documentation.
