# Billing

Peak and Panda launch pricing, how access is granted today while checkout is still being prepared, and what the billing portal does.

**Checkout is still being prepared. You cannot buy a plan today.** The plans page shows both plans and their prices, and the buttons are wired to a real checkout endpoint, but the public site says checkout is not open yet, and the endpoint answers *Checkout is not configured yet* until its products are configured. Read this page as what billing will be, plus how access works in the meantime.

## The launch plans

| Plan | Monthly | Yearly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Peak | $29 | $290 |
| Panda | $59 | $590 |

Yearly is presented as two months free, with the per-month equivalent shown under the price. Panda is marked *Most curious* on the plans page.

Each plan carries a daily allotment of requested refreshes: one a day on Peak, three a day on Panda, within a shared reserve of 100 requests a day. That allotment is a quota for requested catalogue refreshes. It is not the budget that governs ASO workstation refreshes. See [usage and limits](/docs/usage-and-limits).

These are launch prices, not final ones.

## How access is granted today

An entitlement can come from three places, and the **Access** row on your account page names which one you have:

- **An active PeekPanda subscription**: *Billed on PeekPanda*.
- **A qualifying Genviral plan**: *Peak comes with your Genviral Professional plan*. It carries Peak across.
- **Admin preview**: internal access during the preview.

With an entitlement you get the ASO workstation, the catalogue, and the ability to issue API keys. Without one, the workstation and key creation are closed.

## Managing an existing subscription

If a billing customer is already on file for your account, a **Manage billing** button appears in the Plan card on `/account`. It opens the provider's own portal in place. PeekPanda never renders payment fields itself.

The button is absent when no billing customer exists. That is the normal state while checkout is being prepared.
