Billing and Payment
We have listed out some of the things you might want to know about our subscription plans, what you are paying for and how to pay for them.
The basics
- Every organization is billed separately. You will be charged based on the total members you have in each organization and its inherent projects. Even if the same members are shared across different organizations and their inherent projects, they are considered distinct members within each organization and you will be charged individually for each member. In this case, you may want to refer to our Master Organization feature.
- Only Organization Admins and Billing Managers can manage billing.
- We will bill each organization upfront. You will be charged at the beginning of each subscription plan. If you make any changes during your subscription plan, the amount that you have already paid will be prorated accordingly and be counted as credits to your account.
Note: The credits will automatically be applied the next time you upgrade or change your subscription plan. It will not be applied automatically in the next billing cycle.
- The subscription plan will automatically renew when the plan is due (either monthly or yearly). You will need to manually cancel the subscription if you decide not to continue using Quire anymore. After canceling your subscription, all of the content and data in this organization will be in read-only mode. You can upgrade any time to continue where you left off.
Current subscription plan details
Go to a Quire organization first, then click on the dropdown menu arrow next to the Organization name at the top, then select Manage subscription.
Note: If you are not the Admin of the Organization then you will see View Subscription.
On the Organization subscription page, you can see the current plan name that the organization is subscribed to and the member, project, and storage limitation that the organization has already used.
Tip: You can hover over the exclamation icon to see the storage used up for each project in the organization.
Click on View billing details to see more information such as how much you are paying for this organization either monthly or yearly, the billing history, and the billing contact. Also, you will see the date of when you will be charged for the next payment.
You will be charged on the same date each month or year you paid for the subscription plan. For example, you bought the subscription plan on July 23rd, so for a monthly subscription, the next payment date will be August 23rd, September 23rd, and so forth.
Note: For your subscription, you will be charged per member and charged separately for each organization. If you have 2 organizations with 5 members each, even if the same members belong to 2 different organizations, you will be billed for 10 members in total. In this case, you can take advantage of our Master Organization feature.
If you want to see all the subscriptions associated with your account, you can click on your profile picture in the upper right corner and then select My Subscriptions.
Add billing managers
Billing managers will have access to the billing details of this organization. Organization Admins can add members that are not part of the organization as the billing managers.
Navigate to the Billing Details page for the organization, scroll down to the Billing Managers section and click Add billing managers.
If you are the Billing Managers, all the subscriptions will be listed out on the My Subscriptions page by clicking on your profile icon in the upper right corner.
Update payment method
Go to the upgraded Quire organization first, then click on the dropdown menu arrow next to the Organization name at the top, then select Manage subscription.
Click View billing details and select Change payment method in the billing details page.
Change the billing cycle
Go to the upgraded Quire organization first, then click on the dropdown menu arrow next to the Organization name at the top, then select Manage subscription.
Note: Only the Admin of the Organization will be able to change the billing cycle.
Click View billing details and select Change billing cycle in the billing details page.
When you change from a monthly cycle to a yearly cycle, the plan will change on the next billing cycle. For example, let’s say you upgrade to a Professional plan with a monthly plan on May 10. Then on May 20, you decided to change to a yearly plan. The changes will be made on the next payment which occurs next month, Jun 10. Starting on that date, you will be charged with a yearly payment.
When you change from a yearly cycle to a monthly cycle, it works vice versa. Using a similar example as above, just with a Professional yearly plan bought on May 10. When you decide to change to a monthly plan on May 20, the changes will be made on the next payment which occurs next year on May 10. Starting on that date, you will be charged with a monthly payment.
Cancel subscription
Go to the upgraded Quire organization first, then click on the dropdown menu arrow next to the Organization name at the top, then select Manage subscription.
Note: Only the Admin of the Organization will be able to cancel the subscription plan.
Click View billing details and select Cancel subscription in the billing details page.
When a subscription is successfully canceled, the changes will be reflected in the next billing cycle. You can continue using your current subscription until expired. After your subscription expires, your organization will become read-only. You can export your Quire projects to CSV files for backup if necessary.

- Can I use Quire for free forever with no strings attached?
Absolutely! Don’t worry about the pricing if you’re just a solo flier or you just collaborate within a small group of members! Quire can be completely free to use! The Free plan does have some limitations, however you can upgrade your subscription plan anytime you want!
- Do Quire offer refunds?
No. We don’t offer refunds. After canceling the subscription plan, you can continue using Quire until the end of your then-current billing period.
- I just upgraded to the Professional plan, but it still says it’s on a free plan and I am still limited on quota. What’s happening?
The subscription plan applies to one single organization and does not cover your entire account. If you have more than one organization under your account, you are likely to only upgrade to one organization. The other organization will remain on the free plan. If you choose to set up your account with multiple organizations, we recommend you take advantage of our Master Organization feature that is available on the Premium plan. With Master Organization, you can link other organizations to the upgraded organization and share the same usage quota and members.
