Subscription Management and License Upgrade (Public Edition)

In the Public edition of askEdgi, users can explore datasets, publish and consume recipes, and manage subscriptions. The platform provides a structured mechanism for upgrading licenses, tracking consumption, and ensuring spend limits are adhered to. This journey covers subscription selection, plan upgrade, payment handling, and post-upgrade usage monitoring.

Step 1: Accessing Manage Subscription

• The system presents four primary tabs:

  • Plans – Displays available subscription tiers, current plan, and upgrade options.

  • Usage – Shows real-time and historical consumption, including AI tokens, compute costs, and recipe executions.

  • Earnings – Displays revenue earned from recipe sales for creators.

  • Billing – Provides payment methods, billing cycle, order summary, and invoice export options.

  

Step 2: Reviewing Current Plan

• Under the Plans tab, the current plan is highlighted. Details include:

  • Plan type (e.g., Free Trial, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise)

  • Features available for the selected plan (e.g., data upload, recipe publishing)

  • Spend Limit – Maximum allowed usage for AI tokens and infrastructure within the plan

  • Recipe Limit – Number of recipes allowed for creation or execution

Example: Free Trial Plan

• Duration: 14 days

• Spend Limit: $10

• Recipe Limit: 3

• Access: Basic marketplace and recipe publishing

Upgrade options are displayed as an Upgrade Now button if higher tiers are available.

Step 3: Initiating Plan Upgrade

1. Click Upgrade Now on the Plans tab.

2. A plan selection modal is displayed, allowing choice among:

   1. Business

   2. Business Plus

   3. Enterprise

Details Displayed in Modal:

• Plan Cost (monthly or yearly billing options)

• Features Included (AI access, upload capability, recipe allowances)

• Selecting a plan does not immediately charge the account.

• Users can toggle between monthly or yearly billing for cost comparison.

Step 4: Order Summary and Payment Confirmation

• A summary panel displays:

  • Plan Name and Billing Cycle (monthly/yearly)

  • Amount due for the selected cycle

  • Total amount payable

• Submit Button confirms the transaction securely.

• The system validates payment and updates the active plan immediately.

  

Step 5: Post-Upgrade Confirmation

• Upon successful payment, the platform:

  • Updates the active plan in the Manage Subscription interface

  • Adjusts spend limit and recipe allowance according to the upgraded plan

  • Sends confirmation emails summarizing plan details and billing info

Step 6: Usage Tracking After Upgrade

• The Usage tab displays:

  • Current Month Usage – AI Tokens, Compute, Recipes, Functions, and total costs

  • Past Months Usage – Graphical overview with hover details for monthly consumption

• The system enforces the new spend limits automatically.

Step 7: Marketplace Monetisation and Earnings (If Applicable)

• Users with recipe creation rights can monetize recipes under the upgraded plan:

  • Set Recipe Price (per execution or subscription)

  • Track earnings in the Earnings tab

  • Export earnings and usage reports to Sheets for accounting

• Earnings follow a payout model:

  • Default 50% to the creator

  • Platform retains the remaining share

  

Monetisation options are exclusive to Public edition; SaaS and On-Prem editions do not support Marketplace payouts.
