How do I manage my subscription plans, add-ons, and user seats?

Overview
This article explains how Ambiki subscriptions work, including payment types, billing behavior, and how to add, upgrade, or remove plans, add-ons, and seats. It also walks through the steps to manage subscriptions based on how your organization is billed. If you’re seeing upgrade messages or missing access to certain features, this guide will help you understand why and how to resolve it.


What subscription payment types does Ambiki have?

Ambiki has two subscription payment types, Automatic Monthly Payment and Pay by Invoice.

  • Automatic Monthly Payment (Stripe)
    • Payment method on file is charged each month through Stripe.
    • Billing period start date is the day the subscription is created
    • Monthly charge occurs on that same date each month
    • Upgrading plans and/or adding seats take effect immediately and are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing period
    • Downgrading plans and/or removing seats takes effect immediately and your monthly charge is prorated based on what was used during the billing period
 
  • Pay by Invoice
    • Available for large organizations. (contact Ambiki sales or support)
    • Invoice is sent monthly and paid via check or ACH
    • Billing period start date can be any day of the month and becomes the monthly due date
    • Upgrading plans and/or adding seats takes effect immediately and is billed at the full monthly rate for that billing period
    • Downgrading plans and/or removing seats takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle
    • If a user does not sign into Ambiki during the billing period, the organization is not charged for that user’s subscription plan

Q&A

Q: I am paying for a limited plan. Why am I seeing upgrade messages when I try to add billing rates?

A: Billing and administration tasks are not included with the limited plan. You will need to upgrade to the professional plan to access the full set of features, including adding service rates. The Professional plan is our full-featured plan and is intended for practice owners, admins, and full-time therapists. The Limited plan is intended for part-time therapists and does not include billing or admin access.
