Plans
Subscribe to a paid plan
1
Open the billing page
Go to Settings → Billing in your Layer dashboard.
2
Choose monthly or annual billing
Use the toggle at the top of the plan picker. Annual billing is discounted.
3
Select a plan
Click Subscribe on the plan you want. You’ll be redirected to a secure Stripe Checkout page.
4
Complete payment
Enter your payment details and confirm. Promotion codes are accepted at checkout. Once payment succeeds, your workspace is upgraded immediately.
Promotion codes
Stripe Checkout for Layer accepts promotion codes — when you reach the Subscribe step, click Add promotion code above the payment form and paste the code before completing payment. Codes apply to both monthly and annual billing unless otherwise noted.
The same promotion code field is enabled in checkout for Locus (
LOCUS50), Overwatch (OVERWATCH50), and Codex (CODEX50), and ANNUAL10 and FOUNDER are honored across all four products.
If you don’t see the Add promotion code link at checkout, refresh the page — Stripe occasionally cold-loads the field after the cart line item resolves.
Manage your subscription
After you subscribe, a Manage billing button appears on the billing page. Click it to open the Stripe Customer Portal, where you can:- Update your payment method
- Switch between plans
- Change from monthly to annual billing (or vice-versa)
- View and download past invoices
- Cancel your subscription
When you cancel, your workspace reverts to the Free plan at the end of the current billing period. No data is deleted.
Permissions
Only Owner and Admin roles can subscribe to a paid plan or open the Stripe Customer Portal. Members and viewers see the billing page but the Subscribe and Manage billing actions return403 Insufficient permissions if invoked. The role check runs before any Stripe customer or session is created, so non-admin clicks never touch Stripe state. Promote a teammate to Admin from Settings → Team to delegate billing.
Feature gating
Certain features are only available on specific plans. If you try to use a feature that requires a higher plan, Layer shows an upgrade prompt with a direct link to the billing page. The table above lists which features unlock at each tier.Frequently asked questions
