Billing And Limits
Understand how Better Accountant keeps usage, plan boundaries, and billing actions explicit.
Better Accountant enforces billable usage in the backend before expensive work starts.
Plans currently map to limits for clients, documents, storage, journal entries, and AI generations. The app also supports Stripe checkout, portal access, subscription state, and one-off package behavior.
Usage surfaces
The Billing page shows:
| Meter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Clients | Active client count against the plan. |
| Documents | Monthly document usage against the plan. |
| R2 storage | Active and archived storage usage. |
| Journal entries | Entries created against plan allowance. |
| AI generations | AI-assisted calls counted for the workspace. |
Admin actions
Only workspace owners and admins should manage billing. Non-admin users can see relevant state but should not start checkout, open the billing portal, or cancel subscriptions.
Product stance
Usage limits are not decoration. They prevent accidental billing exposure and keep processing predictable when firms upload large batches.
