# User Journey

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.
{% endhint %}

## 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)

{% hint style="info" %}

* Selecting a plan does not immediately charge the account.
* Users can toggle between monthly or yearly billing for cost comparison.
  {% endhint %}

## 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

{% hint style="info" %}
Monetisation options are exclusive to Public edition; SaaS and On-Prem editions do not support Marketplace payouts.
