Plans, billing and limits
What each plan includes, how limits are enforced, and how to manage your subscription.
Guidal bills a flat monthly price per plan. Plans differ in how much you can run and which capabilities are available.

|---|---|---|---|
| Price (INR / month) | ₹2,499 | ₹7,999 | ₹19,999 |

Trial
New accounts get a 14-day trial of Starter. No payment details are required to begin. At the end of the trial, add a payment method to continue; if you do not, the account is suspended rather than deleted, and your data is retained for a grace period so you can return without losing work.
How limits are enforced
Limits are checked when you act, not overnight. Creating a fourth web service on Starter is refused at that moment with an error saying which limit you hit — nothing is silently queued or throttled.
Capability restrictions behave the same way. Creating a cron job on Starter fails with a message naming the plan requirement, rather than creating something that never runs.
Storage is the exception in one respect: it is a budget consumed over time, so you are warned as you approach the limit and refused only when a write would exceed it.

These commands are read-only, in the CLI and through MCP alike. Changing a subscription is a deliberate action taken in the dashboard.
Change plan
- In the navigation pane, choose Settings, then Billing.
- Choose Change plan.
- Select the plan and confirm.
Upgrades take effect immediately, and the new limits apply at once.
Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period, so you keep what you paid for. Before it applies you will be shown what exceeds the new plan's limits — a downgrade from Pro to Starter with five web services running has to lose two, and it is better to choose which than to have it chosen for you.
Being over a limit
If usage exceeds your plan — after a downgrade, for example — the account moves into a restricted state. Existing services keep running; creating new resources is blocked until usage is back within limits. You are notified, with time to act, rather than having workloads terminated.
