Billing & Plans
Review your current plan and usage, compare capacity, configure usage alerts, manage subscription details, and access invoice history.
Current plan and limits
The Billing page shows the active plan, billing interval, subscription status, and renewal information. The plan comparison lists the generation allowance, concurrency, queue size, maximum request size, and rendering capabilities for each tier.
Plan changes affect the capacity available to new requests. Before upgrading, use Usage & Analytics to determine whether the limiting factor is generation volume, concurrent work, queue pressure, request size, storage, or bandwidth.
Usage this period
| Usage signal | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PDFs generated | Completed generation volume in the current billing period. |
| Concurrency | Render workers currently occupied out of the plan allowance. |
| Queue depth | Requests waiting for an available render slot. |
| Daily trend | How usage is changing through the current period. |
| Bandwidth and storage | Output transfer and retained data counted against workspace limits. |
Usage alerts
Usage alerts provide an early warning as the workspace approaches a limit. Available controls can include threshold emails, integration notifications, and a hard spending cap. Configure alerts for the people who can act on them, and treat a hard cap as an availability decision: requests may be blocked after the cap is reached.
Subscription and payment details
BladePDF uses Paddle to manage subscription payment details and billing addresses. Open the customer portal from the Billing page to update those details, manage the subscription, or resolve information that must appear on future invoices. Changes made in Paddle are synchronized back to BladePDF.
If the workspace plan is managed by an administrator, plan and subscription controls can be read-only. Contact the workspace owner or support instead of changing application configuration.
Invoice history
Invoice history lives on the Billing page. Use it to review invoice date, amount, and status, then download the invoice PDF or open the hosted invoice page when available. The Paddle customer portal also provides payment receipts and invoice downloads for accounting.
For VAT details, billing-address corrections, refunds, or a missing invoice, start with the billing portal and use billing support when the portal cannot resolve the request.
Choosing a plan
- Review current-period generation, storage, and bandwidth usage.
- Check p95 queue wait, peak concurrency, and rejected requests in Analytics.
- Confirm the largest request and the rendering capabilities your documents require.
- Choose enough headroom for traffic bursts, not only the average day.
- Set alerts after the plan change so growth remains visible.
