Billing and Payments

In this article, you’ll learn how EducateMe billing works, how seats are counted, how invoices are generated, and how to manage your subscription, payment methods, and add-ons.

EducateMe offers four pricing plans: Pro, Premium, Scale, and Enterprise. All plans are available with monthly and annual billing.

Annual subscriptions include a 10% discount.

You can compare all features and limits on our pricing page.

How do payments work?

EducateMe charges are based on:

  • Your plan

  • Any add-ons purchased

  • The number of users in your workspace

Important: All users added to your learning space occupy a seat and are billed, with the exception of suspended accounts.

Payment methods

EducateMe uses Stripe to securely process subscription payments and invoices.

Available payment methods include:

  • Credit or debit card

  • Bank payments

  • Google Pay

  • Cash App Pay

You can manage payment methods, view invoices, and update billing details anytime through Organization Settings → Billing → Overview (Change payment method).

Monthly Pricing

Minimum monthly commitment: $239 for up to 80 users

Additional users: $3 per user per month

Example:
You have 100 users
First 80 users: $239
Extra 20 users × $3 = $60

Total: $299


Payment Cycles

When you upgrade to a paid subscription, you are charged the total of your chosen plan. Your billing cycle begins on the date of payment.

Seat count is reviewed at each renewal, and invoices are adjusted based on the number of billed seats in your workspace at that time.

First Payment

You are charged the plan price upfront.

Example: Paid on November 1 - $239 for up to 80 users.

Following Months

If your workspace exceeds the users included in your plan, overages are added to the next invoice.

Example:

Included users: 80
Current users: 85

Extra 5 users × $3 = $15

Total next invoice: $254

Adding or removing users

  • Adding users mid-cycle results in prorated charges for the remainder of the billing period.

  • Removing or suspending users lowers billed seats beginning with the next billing cycle.

  • Seats can be reassigned during your current billing period without increasing charges, as long as total seat count does not increase.

This gives you flexibility to manage changing teams while keeping billing predictable.


Billing page overview

Navigate to Organization Settings → Billing. The Billing page now includes three tabs: Overview, Plans, and Invoices.

Overview:

  • Current plan

  • Next invoice amount

  • Next invoice date

  • Subscription management in Stripe

  • Available upgrades and add-ons

The Overview tab gives you a quick snapshot of your subscription and upcoming charges. It shows your current plan with a link to manage the subscription in Stripe, the amount of your next invoice, and the next invoice date with direct access to the Invoices tab. You’ll also find available upgrade options and add-ons in this section.

Addons are optional features that can be used with any plan and are included during your free trial.

AI Roleplay allows you to create realistic, AI-powered practice scenarios so learners can build confidence, improve communication skills, and receive instant feedback. Sessions are purchased as a one-time bundle, for example, 50 sessions for $175.

If you need more AI Roleplay sessions beyond your plan limit, you can easily purchase additional session packs:

Purchased sessions are automatically added to your account once payment is completed, so learners can continue practicing without interruption.

The Plans tab displays all available plans and allows you to compare options. To change plans, select Choose plan on an eligible upgrade.

Important: Your current plan is marked as Current plan and cannot be selected again.

The Invoices tab contains your full invoice history. You can also use Stripe to access and download invoices:

  1. Click Invoices on the Billing page.

  2. Under invoice history, choose the invoice you want by clicking View invoice.

  3. You’ll be redirected to Stripe, where you can download the invoice, receipt, and view payment details.

You can change the payment method used for your EducateMe subscription.

To update your payment method, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Organization Settings → Billing

  2. Click Change payment method

3. In Stripe, go to the Payment Method section

4. Click Add payment method and enter your new card details
