# Subscription Tiers
|
||||
|
||||
DocuElevate operates as a SaaS platform with four subscription tiers. When
|
||||
`MULTI_USER_ENABLED=True` each user is assigned a tier that controls how many
|
||||
documents they can process and how many storage destinations they can use.
|
||||
DocuElevate uses database-backed subscription plans that are fully configurable by admins via the **Plan Designer** at `/admin/plans`. Four default tiers are seeded automatically on first startup.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
\* Free tier is capped by the **lifetime** limit of 25 files; there is no
|
||||
separate daily or monthly cap on top of that.
|
||||
All paid plans include a **30-day free trial**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## How Plans Are Stored
|
||||
|
||||
## Free Tier
|
||||
Plans are stored in the `subscription_plans` database table. On application startup, `seed_default_plans()` is called automatically — if the table is empty, the four built-in defaults are inserted. If plans already exist, the seed is a no-op.
|
||||
|
||||
The Free tier is designed for exploration. It allows up to **25 documents
|
||||
processed in total across the lifetime of the account** — this is enforced
|
||||
strictly; once 25 documents have been processed the upload endpoint returns
|
||||
HTTP 402 and invites the user to upgrade.
|
||||
Users are assigned a plan via `UserProfile.subscription_tier` (stores the `plan_id` string). The subscription utility functions (`get_tier`, `get_all_tiers`) query the database first and fall back to the hard-coded `TIER_DEFAULTS` dict if the database is unavailable or the plan doesn't exist.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no per-day or per-month cap: the user can use all 25 files in a
|
||||
single day if they wish.
|
||||
## Overage Buffer
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
### Announced vs. Enforced Limit
|
||||
|
||||
## Paid Tiers
|
||||
DocuElevate uses a **soft-limit overage buffer** that is invisible to users:
|
||||
|
||||
### Starter — $9/month (or $90/year)
|
||||
- The **announced limit** is what appears on the pricing page (e.g., "150 docs/month").
|
||||
- The **enforced limit** = announced × (1 + overage_percent / 100).
|
||||
- With the default 20% buffer: a 150-doc plan enforces at **180 docs**.
|
||||
- This prevents hard cutoffs at the exact announced limit, giving users a graceful landing.
|
||||
|
||||
Good for individuals or small teams getting started with automated document
|
||||
processing. Provides a meaningful step up from the free tier without a high
|
||||
price commitment.
|
||||
### Per-Plan vs. Global Buffer
|
||||
|
||||
- 10 documents/day, 100 documents/month
|
||||
- 3 storage destinations (e.g. Dropbox + Google Drive + Nextcloud)
|
||||
- 500 OCR pages/month
|
||||
- Email ingestion and API access included
|
||||
Each plan has its own `overage_percent` field (set in the Plan Designer). There is also a global fallback: `settings.subscription_overage_percent` (default: 20, range: 0–200), which applies when a plan does not have an explicit value.
|
||||
|
||||
### Professional — $29/month (or $290/year) *(Most Popular)*
|
||||
Set `subscription_overage_percent=0` in your `.env` to enforce exactly at the announced limit with no buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
Better for growing teams that need higher volume and more integration
|
||||
flexibility.
|
||||
## Yearly Billing & Carry-Over
|
||||
|
||||
- 50 documents/day, 500 documents/month
|
||||
- 10 storage destinations
|
||||
- 2 500 OCR pages/month
|
||||
- All processing steps, webhooks, and priority email support
|
||||
When a user's `subscription_billing_cycle` is set to `yearly`:
|
||||
|
||||
### Business — $79/month (or $790/year)
|
||||
- Unused quota from earlier months **rolls forward automatically**.
|
||||
- Enforcement = `monthly_limit × months_elapsed × overage_factor` (cumulative budget from the subscription start date).
|
||||
- Example: A 50-doc/month Starter plan in month 3 of its annual period has a cumulative budget of 150 docs (plus overage buffer). If the user only used 20 docs in months 1–2, they can use 130 docs in month 3.
|
||||
- The `subscription_period_start` field on `UserProfile` tracks the start of the annual period.
|
||||
|
||||
Best for organisations that need truly unlimited throughput with dedicated
|
||||
support.
|
||||
## No Daily Cap
|
||||
|
||||
- Unlimited documents and storage destinations
|
||||
- Unlimited OCR pages
|
||||
- Unlimited file size
|
||||
- Custom integrations and dedicated support
|
||||
`daily_upload_limit` is kept for display and future reference only — it is **never enforced**. All enforcement is lifetime (free tier) or monthly/cumulative-yearly (paid tiers).

|
||||
## allow_overage Flag
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
Setting `UserProfile.allow_overage = True` bypasses monthly quota checks entirely for that user. Usage is still tracked so future billing integrations can charge retroactively. This field is not yet exposed in the admin UI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limit Enforcement
|
||||
## Plan Designer
|
||||
|
||||
Limits are enforced in real-time at the upload endpoint
|
||||
(`POST /api/ui-upload`). When a user exceeds any quota:
|
||||
Navigate to `/admin/plans` (admin only) to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The uploaded file is discarded.
|
||||
2. The endpoint returns **HTTP 402 Payment Required** with a human-readable
|
||||
`detail` message explaining which limit was hit and how to upgrade.
|
||||
3. The upload UI displays the error message to the user.
|
||||
1. **View** all plans (active and inactive) with key stats.
|
||||
2. **Create** a new plan with a custom `plan_id` slug.
|
||||
3. **Edit** any plan's pricing, limits, overage buffer, features, and display settings.
|
||||
4. **Reorder** plans using the up/down arrows (order reflects pricing page display order).
|
||||
5. **Delete** a plan (does not affect existing users assigned to it).
|
||||
6. **Restore Defaults** — seeds the four built-in plans (no-op if plans already exist).
|
||||
|
||||
Quota checks run in order:
|
||||
### Overage Designer
|
||||
|
||||
1. Lifetime file limit (free tier only)
|
||||
2. Daily file limit
|
||||
3. Monthly file limit
|
||||
The Plan Designer includes an overage slider (0–100%). The live preview shows:
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
> "Announce **X** docs, enforce at **Y** docs"
|
||||
|
||||
## Admin Management
|
||||
Overage billing and per-doc overage pricing are planned future features (currently disabled in the UI).
|
||||
|
||||
Administrators can view and change each user's subscription tier from the
|
||||
**Admin → Users** page (`/admin/users`).
|
||||
## API Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Edit** next to any user.
|
||||
2. Change the **Subscription Plan** dropdown.
|
||||
3. Click **Save Changes**.
|
||||
All plan endpoints are under `/api/plans/`.
|
||||
|
||||
The new limits take effect immediately on the user's next upload attempt.
|
||||
| Method | Path | Auth | Description |
|
||||
|--------|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/plans/` | Public | List active plans in sort order |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/plans/admin` | Admin | List all plans including inactive |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/plans/?plan_id=<id>` | Admin | Create a new plan |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/plans/{plan_id}` | Public | Get a single active plan |
|
||||
| `PUT` | `/api/plans/{plan_id}` | Admin | Update an existing plan |
|
||||
| `DELETE` | `/api/plans/{plan_id}` | Admin | Delete a plan |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/plans/seed` | Admin | Seed default plans (no-op if non-empty) |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/plans/reorder` | Admin | Update sort order; body: `{"order": ["free", "starter", ...]}` |
|
||||
|
||||
### API
|
||||
|
||||
Admins can also manage tiers via the REST API:
|
||||
### Example: List Active Plans
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update a user's subscription tier
|
||||
curl -X PUT /api/admin/users/user@example.com \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"subscription_tier": "professional", "is_blocked": false}'
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/api/plans/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
### Example: Update a Plan's Monthly Limit
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform Statistics
|
||||
|
||||
Admins can view platform-wide statistics via:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dashboard** (`/`) — shows total files, today, this month, unique users
|
||||
when `MULTI_USER_ENABLED=True`.
|
||||
- **API** — `GET /api/subscriptions/platform` returns aggregate file counts
|
||||
and per-tier user distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/api/plans/starter \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"name": "Starter",
|
||||
"monthly_upload_limit": 75,
|
||||
"overage_percent": 15,
|
||||
...
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Subscription tiers are defined in `app/utils/subscription.py` in the `TIERS`
|
||||
dictionary. Pricing, limits, and feature lists are all set there.
|
||||
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
||||
|----------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `SUBSCRIPTION_OVERAGE_PERCENT` | `20` | Global overage buffer (0–200). Per-plan setting overrides this. |
|
||||
|
||||
Single-user mode (`MULTI_USER_ENABLED=False`) bypasses all quota checks
|
||||
entirely — the instance behaves as if every request is on the Business tier.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pricing Page
|
||||
|
||||
The public pricing page is available at `/pricing` and requires no
|
||||
authentication. It shows the interactive tier comparison table with an
|
||||
annual/monthly toggle and an FAQ section.
|
||||
|
||||
Individual users can view their own subscription status, usage progress bars,
|
||||
and upgrade options at `/subscription` (requires login).
|
||||
See `docs/ConfigurationGuide.md` for all available settings.
