Before you subscribe
Questions? Read the docs first, they answer most of them — or write to support@papyra.me.
Can I change or cancel my plan later?
Yes. Your billing page opens Stripe's customer portal, where you can manage or cancel your subscription in one click. No email, no retention call. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
What happens if I hit my monthly limit?
The API returns 429 quota_exceeded with your current usage, and rendering stops until the next cycle or an upgrade. We never silently charge you for going over.
Do I need a credit card for the free plan?
No. Create an account, generate an API key and start rendering. You only enter payment details when you choose a paid plan.
How are payments processed?
By Stripe, in US dollars. We never see or store your card number.
