What each plan includes

Instagram and Facebook: our team helps you connect the Instagram account and the Facebook Page. The connection is subject to Meta's requirements for each account.
Quality: quality reports are a separate add-on, arranged by agreement with AstraChat. They do not spend AI credits.
Buying and first access
- 1 In the pricing section, click the button for the plan you want. On Business you can choose how many extra users you need before continuing.
- 2 Stripe's secure payment page opens. Enter your email, your business name, your billing address and your card details, and confirm the payment.
- 3 When you finish, you return to an AstraChat page that confirms the payment and refreshes on its own while your plan is activated. Your workspace is created automatically.
- 4 If you are new to AstraChat, check your email: you receive a message to create your password. If you already have an account, sign in as usual; the new workspace appears there.
Cancelled payment: if you close the payment page or the payment is not completed, nothing is charged and no account is created.
Next step: once you are in, connect your number in Connect WhatsApp and invite your team from Account Setup.
Managing the subscription
The subscription is managed in Stripe's secure portal, which you open from AstraChat. Only administrators can open it.
- 1 In the sidebar, open Settings.
- 2 Click Billing & subscription.
- 3 Click Manage in Stripe.
In the Stripe portal you can:
- Update the card or payment method.
- View and download your charges and receipts.
- Cancel the renewal. The account keeps working until the end of the period you already paid for.
You don't see the link: the Billing & subscription link only appears for administrators of a subscribed workspace. If you are an agent, ask an administrator for help. If your account has a special agreement with AstraChat, billing is handled directly with our team at app@astranexo.com.
IVA and electronic invoice
- Prices are monthly and in US dollars (USD).
- 13% IVA (Costa Rican VAT) is added to the price, both on purchase and on every renewal.
- Stripe sends you a receipt for each charge.
- The electronic invoice (factura electrónica) is issued separately by AstraChat after we receive your billing details. If you have not sent them yet, write to us at app@astranexo.com.
Changing plan or adding users
Plan changes are not made from the Stripe portal. To change plan or add users:
- 1 Write to us at app@astranexo.com from the email of an account administrator.
- 2 Include your business name, the plan you want and, if needed, how many extra users you need.
- 3 Our team makes the change and confirms by email when it takes effect and how your charge changes.
Extra users: only the Business plan lets you add users beyond those included. On Starter and Team, to get more users you need to move to a higher plan.
AI credits
The Team and Business plans include credits for AstraChat's AI (see Captain AI).
- One credit is roughly one AI request: a message to Copilot, a reply suggestion, a text action (improve, shorten, change tone…) or an automatic assistant reply to a customer.
- Credits renew every billing period and do not accumulate: credits you don't use in a month do not carry over.
- When they run out, AI pauses until the next renewal. The rest of AstraChat keeps working normally.
- The Starter plan does not include AI credits.
If a payment fails
If Stripe cannot charge the renewal, for example because the card expired, the account becomes read-only while the payment is pending:
- You can still see conversation history and contacts.
- Your customers' messages keep arriving.
- You cannot send messages, add users or channels, or use AI.
How to fix it
- 1 Signed in as an administrator, open Settings → Billing & subscription → Manage in Stripe.
- 2 Update the card or payment method.
- 3 Once the charge goes through, the account works normally again.
Need help? If the charge still fails, write to us at app@astranexo.com.
Cancellation or moving to a smaller plan
If you cancel
You can cancel the renewal at any time from the Stripe portal. The account works normally until the end of the paid period. After that it becomes read-only: you can see history and contacts, but you cannot send messages, add users or channels, or use AI. If you want to reactivate it, write to us at app@astranexo.com.
If you move to a smaller plan
Nothing is deleted. If you have more users or channels than the new plan allows:
- Extra users become read-only. Administrators are kept first.
- Extra channels cannot send messages.
- An administrator must remove the surplus users or channels, or move back to a larger plan, for everything to work normally.
Deleting your data: cancelling does not delete your account's information. If you want us to delete it, follow the data deletion instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Are there annual plans?
No. All plans are billed month to month.
Can I pay in colones?
Plans are charged in US dollars (USD) by card, through Stripe. If your card is in colones, your bank does the conversion.
Does the administrator count as a user?
Yes. Plan users include the owner and every administrator and agent. AstraChat support staff do not use any of your plan's users.
What happens to my conversations if I change plan?
They are always kept. Changing plan does not delete conversations, contacts or settings.
Why don't I see Reports or Automation rules?
They are only included in the Business plan. If you need them, write to us to change plan.
Do quality reports spend AI credits?
No. Quality is a separate add-on, by agreement, and does not use your plan's AI credits.
