Billing FAQ
When am I charged?
Nothing, until your studio has taken its first $500 in online bookings. Only payments made through StudioBase and Stripe count toward the $500. Cash payments you record don't.
Once you pass $500, you have 14 days to choose a plan. Everything keeps working during those 14 days. Your subscription starts when you pick a plan, and nothing is charged retroactively. You'll be billed on the same day each month (or annually if you chose annual billing). If no plan is chosen within the 14 days, your studio is paused until you pick one.
Is there a free trial?
Better than a trial. Every new studio is free until its first $500 in online bookings, on any plan, with no credit card required to start. There is no countdown clock while you're under $500.
Can I change plans?
Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from Settings > Subscription. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your current billing cycle.
Are there limits on bookings?
No. Bookings, classes, and clients are unlimited on every plan — there's no cap, no per-booking fee, and no forced upgrade because your studio is busy. Plans differ by instructor seats (Starter: 1, Growth: up to 5, Pro: unlimited) and features, not by how many bookings you take.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. All plans are month-to-month (or annual). Cancel anytime with no penalties.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through Stripe.
Do you take a cut of my bookings?
No. You keep 100% of your booking revenue. The only transaction fees are from Stripe's standard payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).
