# Plans and billing

> Understand Motif's monthly and annual billing, Stripe payments, subscription management, cancellation, and access.

# Plans and billing

Motif offers one complete subscription. Monthly and annual billing provide the same full desktop experience, with no feature tiers.

## Choose a billing period

| Billing period | Price | How it is billed |
| - | - | - |
| **Monthly** | USD 4.99 per month | Billed monthly |
| **Annual** | USD 35.88 per year | Billed once a year, equivalent to USD 2.99 per month |

The website displays **Save 40%** for annual billing compared with monthly billing. The annual amount is charged once per year, not in monthly installments.

Prices include applicable tax. Checkout shows the selected billing period, amount, and currency before payment; your bank may apply its own currency conversion.

## Purchase and account access

Purchase happens on the Motif website through a Stripe checkout. Motif is sold through Link, LLC (a Stripe company), the merchant of record; your statement will show `LINK.COM* MOTIF`. The desktop app does not contain a checkout.

At checkout, enter the Google email you will use in Motif in **Google email you'll use to sign in to Motif**. The payment receipt address does not replace that field.

Access begins only after Stripe confirms payment. Delayed payment methods provide access only after settlement. Sign in to Motif with the same Google account afterward.

See [Account and access](https://docs.getmotif.page/getting-started/account-and-access.md) for sign-in and access checks. Read [Local and connected activity](https://docs.getmotif.page/privacy/local-and-connected.md) for the boundary between local work and online account activity.

## Manage or cancel a subscription

The subscription renews automatically for the same billing period until cancelled. The renewal price is the price communicated for the next renewal.

1. Open **Settings → Account** in Motif.
2. Select **Manage subscription** when available to open the Stripe billing page.
3. Manage the existing subscription or cancel it in Stripe Customer Portal.

Cancellation stops future renewal. Access continues through the period already paid for. Ending access does not delete music or project files stored in folders you control.

If Motif shows **Billing needs attention**, use **Manage subscription** from that screen, complete the required change in Stripe, return to Motif, and choose **Check access again**. Failed payments may cause access to be paused or ended until payment is restored.

See [Settings](https://docs.getmotif.page/settings/overview.md) for account controls and [Contact Motif](https://docs.getmotif.page/help/contact.md) if you need help.

## Refunds and mandatory rights

Motif does not provide voluntary refunds for change of mind or non-use. There is no prorated voluntary refund for unused time after cancellation. Mandatory withdrawal, conformity, refund, and payment rights remain available where they apply.

> [!NOTE]
>
> For the governing subscription, cancellation, and refund terms, read Motif's official Terms and Consumer Information on the website or in the app's Legal Center. This guide does not replace those documents.
