# Plans and trials

> Start a free trial, pick a plan, and understand what you are billed for.

## The free trial

Glimps runs free for 14 days on your own administration. No payment method is needed, and nothing is ever charged automatically.

After 14 days Glimps pauses unless you pick a plan. Your invoices, settings, and connections stay exactly as they were, so continuing takes one click.

<Note>
  One trial per organization. If yours has ended, pick a plan and you carry on straight away.
</Note>

## Picking a plan

Choose monthly or yearly billing. Yearly is cheaper per month. You fill in your billing contact, address, VAT number, and the address your Glimps invoices should go to, then finish the payment with Mollie. You can pay by credit card, iDEAL, or SEPA direct debit.

The method you choose is saved and used for the following periods.

### Your offer

Did you agree a price with us? Then the plan screen shows it as **Your offer**, above the price list. Only your organization sees it. It lists what is included, such as the invoices per month and PO matching. Click **Continue with this offer** to start it.

A plan without a limit on approvers says **Unlimited users and authorizers**.

## What decides the bill

| Part | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Base plan | Your monthly or yearly plan price |
| Invoice allowance | The number of invoices included in a period |
| Invoice overage | A price per invoice above the allowance |
| Authorizers | A number of approvers is included, extra ones are priced per approver. Some plans include unlimited authorizers |
| Add-ons | Features such as PO matching, where your plan offers them as an add-on |

You can see what you have used so far, and the estimated bill, on the **Subscription** tab of the [organization overview](/insights/firm-portal#subscription).

## Billing periods

Usage is counted per subscription period, from the day it starts to the day it ends. Every period is billed, the first one too. A booked [sales invoice](/sales-invoices) counts the same as a booked purchase invoice. The **Usage** card shows the dates of the period you are in now.

On a monthly plan, the periods run like this:

| Period | What happens |
| - | - |
| The first period | Starts on the day you subscribe and runs 30 days, with the full invoice allowance |
| The rest of that month | The allowance is pro-rated for the days left. The **Usage** card says when full months start |
| Every month after that | A full calendar month, from the 1st |

The plan price is paid in advance, on a yearly plan for the whole year. Usage is billed after the period ends.

Some plans are billed on the same day every month instead, counted from the day of your first payment. Then there is no pro-rated stretch: every period is a full month.

## Features per plan

Some features are tied to a plan or sold as an add-on. When you meet one you do not have, Glimps says so on the spot and offers the upgrade, instead of hiding the button.

Two you are most likely to meet:

* **Authorization workflows**: approval in several steps, with rules on amount, department, and supplier.
* **PO matching**: matching invoices against purchase orders.

<Note>
  An add-on is bought for the organization, then switched on per administration. So a feature can be bought and still off for the administration you are in.
</Note>

## Need something else

Volumes, entities, and requirements differ. For an enterprise or custom setup, contact sales from the plan screen.
