# Subscription

> Compare ReClaude Carpool, Dedicated, and Pay-as-you-go plans, learn what each subscription status means, and how renewal, account-switch warranty, and expiry work. The whole subscription lifecycle on one page.

ReClaude offers three plans: **Dedicated / Carpool / Pay-as-you-go**. Sign-up, pricing, and current promotions live at [reclaude.ai](https://reclaude.ai).

## The three plans

| Plan              | Who's using it                                 | Billing                       | Best for                                                     |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Dedicated**     | One account, just for you                      | Monthly                       | Heavy users who can fill a Max plan                          |
| **Carpool**       | N users share one account, per-user cap = 1/N  | Monthly                       | Want native subscription quota without the full price tag    |
| **Pay-as-you-go** | A separate USD credit, billed at real API cost | One-off top-up, never expires | Bursty usage, big one-off jobs, or topping up a monthly plan |

Monthly plans share a **1-month warranty**: full coverage for official bans within the period, with unlimited switches that don't count against you.

<Note>
  Dedicated plans also include the **Claude Desktop launcher (in beta)** — start it via `reclaude app`. See the [Command reference](/en/cli/commands) for details.

## Subscription status

The dashboard home page shows your current status, days left, and expiry. What each status means:

| Status       | Meaning                      | Service behavior           |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **None**     | No active subscription yet   | Service unavailable        |
| **Active**   | Valid subscription           | Working as normal          |
| **Expiring** | Less than a week left        | Working, but renew soon    |
| **Grace**    | Expired, in tolerance window | May be limited; renew ASAP |
| **Expired**  | Past the renewal window      | Service paused             |

If the account assigned to you is flagged, the home page will also show **Account banned** or **Needs review** alerts. Those are independent of your subscription status.

## Carpool 5-hour window

To keep usage balanced across members, carpool plans use a 5-hour rolling window cap. The home page shows how much of the current window you've used, how much is left, and when it resets. Window parameters may change as we tune the system.

## Renewal and expiry

* **Expiring** status surfaces a renewal banner on the home page; click through to renew.
* **Grace / Expired** suspends service; renewal restores it immediately.
* Carpool plans **activate instantly** — no waiting for other members.
* Pay-as-you-go credits are **delivered immediately** and never expire; you can stack them on top of a monthly plan.

## Upgrade (Carpool only)

Carpool plans support self-service upgrades to **any higher tier** (fewer carpool members, or a Dedicated plan).

* **Direction**: one-way. No downgrade, no reverse.
* **Effect**: takes effect immediately; the original carpool allocation is voided.
* **New billing cycle**: starts fresh from the upgrade moment — Carpool is always 1 month, Dedicated runs for the number of months you picked (1 / 3 / 6 / 12). Remaining days on the old plan are prorated and credited against this payment.
* **Discount codes**: upgrade orders can stack a discount code; but if the source order came from a **redemption code / manual activation**, stacking isn't allowed.
* **Redemption codes**: upgrade orders don't accept redemption codes.
* **Refund**: after upgrading, **both the source order and the upgrade order are non-refundable**. Confirm the target plan before paying.

Where to find it: dashboard → **Billing** → Upgrade. The final payable amount and the prorated credit preview live on the upgrade page in real time — nothing is charged upfront.

## Change size / merge / transfer out

**Downgrade is not supported** — plan upgrades are one-way; once activated you can't downgrade or reverse. Merging multiple orders, switching a Dedicated plan back to Carpool, and similar changes aren't self-service yet — open a [ticket](https://reclaude.ai) to reach the ops team.

## Holding multiple plans at once

Yes — you can. For example: a **personal Dedicated** plan for everyday work, a **4-person Carpool** for shared team usage, and some **Pay-as-you-go credit** as a buffer — all three coexist without conflict.

How it works: ReClaude subscriptions live on **organizations** — your personal org, a team org, a carpool org each carry their own plan. Buying multiple plans = creating / joining multiple orgs. So **switching plans = switching organizations**:

```bash theme={null}
reclaude org list           # list every org you're in and its subscription
reclaude org use <org_id>   # switch this device to the chosen org
```

The next request from that device runs on the new org's account and quota.

### A few notes

* **One device runs one org at a time.** Different machines can bind to different orgs — laptop on Dedicated, desktop on Carpool, no interference.
* Each org's quota is **completely independent**: carpool 5h windows, Pay-as-you-go USD, and monthly subscription days are tracked separately and can't cross-subsidize.
* **No automatic fallback**: if the active org's quota is exhausted, the request fails (subscription expired / quota exhausted / 5h window exhausted). You need to `reclaude org use` to a different org with quota, or renew the current one.
