Billing & Payments

Understand your invoices, track AI token usage, manage payment methods, and learn how usage-based charges appear on your bill.

Current Billing Period

At the top of your billing page, you'll see a summary of your current billing period, including:

  • Projected next billing amount — An estimate of what you'll owe at the end of the cycle
  • Current billing period dates — The start and end of your current cycle
  • Next billing date — When your next invoice will be generated

Line Item Breakdown

Your bill is broken down into individual charges:

Charge TypeDescription
Plan base costYour monthly or annual subscription fee
AI token usageTokens consumed by chatbots and AI features
Email usageNewsletter and marketing emails sent
ProrationsCredits or charges from mid-cycle plan changes
If you have account credit (e.g., from a downgrade or overpayment), it's shown as a balance on your billing summary. Credits are automatically applied to your next invoice.

Invoices

The Invoices section shows a searchable, sortable table of all your past invoices.

Each invoice includes:

  • Transaction ID
  • Amount charged
  • Invoice number
  • Date created
  • PDF download link (when available)

You can search by transaction ID or invoice number, and sort by amount or date.

AI Token Usage

The AI Token Usage section gives you a detailed breakdown of your AI consumption.

What You'll See

  • Usage broken down by AI model (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, etc.)
  • Yaplet tokens consumed per model
  • Cost in USD per model
  • Total tokens and total cost across all models
All AI models are billed at the same unified rate — $0.10 per 1,000,000 tokens. You don't pay more for using a more capable model.

Filtering Usage

You can filter your token usage by date range using the date picker. This lets you see usage for any period up to 93 days.

Payment Methods

Adding a Payment Method

When you first subscribe, you'll be prompted to add a credit card through a secure Stripe form. Your card details are:

  • Encrypted and stored by Stripe — Yaplet never sees your full card number
  • Protected by 3D Secure when required by your bank

Viewing Your Payment Methods

On the billing page, you can see all your stored payment methods with:

  • Card brand (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
  • Last 4 digits
  • Expiration date
  • Which card is set as default

Managing Payment Methods

Click Manage Subscription to open the Stripe Customer Portal, where you can:

  • Add a new payment method
  • Remove an old card
  • Change your default payment method
The Stripe Customer Portal is a secure, external page managed by Stripe. Any changes you make there are reflected immediately in Yaplet.

Handling Payment Issues

Past Due Payments

If a payment fails (e.g., expired card, insufficient funds), your subscription status changes to Past Due. You'll see a prominent alert on your billing page with a button to resolve it.

Resolve past due payments promptly to avoid interruption to your service. Your access to paid features may be limited while the payment is outstanding.

3D Secure Verification

Some banks require additional verification (3D Secure) when processing payments. If this happens:

  1. Your subscription shows as Incomplete
  2. A prompt appears on your billing page to complete verification
  3. Click the action button — you'll be redirected to complete the verification in your browser
  4. Once verified, your subscription activates immediately

Account Credits

Credits can appear on your account from:

  • Downgrading your plan mid-cycle (unused time is credited)
  • Switching from annual to monthly billing
  • Overpayments that were refunded as credit

Credits are displayed on your billing summary with:

  • Starting balance
  • Ending balance after charges
If your credit balance covers the full amount of your next invoice, no payment will be charged — the credit is applied automatically.
