# Billing

Manage your billing settings, payment methods, and subscription options for Raycast in one place.

Raycast is free to use, with paid plans that unlock more powerful features and AI across macOS, Windows, and iOS. One subscription covers all three platforms. Just sign in with the same Raycast account on each device. You don’t need separate accounts to use Raycast on different platforms.

## Plans

### Raycast Free

Raycast Free includes core features such as Clipboard History, Quicklinks, Calculator, Snippets, Emoji Picker, and Window Management, alongside five Raycast Notes and access to Raycast for iOS. You can also browse thousands of extensions, create extensions, and use Raycast’s developer tooling.

> [!NOTE]
> Unlock Raycast AI with [Raycast Pro](https://raycast.com/pro). AI features aren’t included in Raycast Free.

### Raycast Pro, Pro+, Max

Paid plans add Raycast AI to everything in Free: fast and powerful models from all leading providers, monthly credits to use them, and context from your files, screen, memory, and Profile. Generate images, connect your tools, or bring your own AI. You also get Cloud Sync, Dictation, Translator, unlimited Notes and Clipboard History, Custom Window Management, and Custom Themes.

| Individual plan | Monthly | Yearly | Monthly AI credits | AI models |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Raycast Pro | $10 | $96 | 500 | Fast and powerful models |
| Raycast Pro+ | $20 | $192 | 3,000 | All models, including top-tier |
| Raycast Max | $50 | $480 | 7,500 | All models, including top-tier |

Pro includes fast and powerful models from all leading providers. Pro+ and Max unlock every model, including top-tier models for your most demanding tasks.

Unused monthly credits roll over for one extra billing cycle, and you can learn the full details on [AI Credits](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/ai-credits). For the latest prices and billing options, head to [raycast.com/pricing](https://raycast.com/pricing).

### Change to Subscription Tiers

The Advanced AI add-on no longer exists. It has been replaced by **Raycast Pro+**, a standalone plan, and it can no longer be added to a Pro subscription.

- Existing Raycast Pro subscriptions stay on Pro and receive monthly credits.
- If you previously subscribed to Pro with the Advanced AI add-on, your subscription moves to **Raycast Pro+** automatically.
- **Raycast Max** is a new plan.

To make the transition easier, existing subscribers receive double credits. On September 10, 2026, existing subscribers receive two full monthly credit packs at once, and these credits expire after 30 days.

If you were already on a yearly individual Raycast Pro or Raycast Pro+ subscription on September 11, 2026, you also get 50% more credits each month for the remainder of your current annual term. Pro goes from 500 to 750 credits a month, and Pro+ from 3,000 to 4,500. You won't see the change in your account just yet: everyone already received double credits as the launch bonus above, so the higher amount applies from your next credit reset. New subscribers and subscriptions on monthly billing keep the standard credits listed in the plan table.

Unlike the add-on, which could be added or removed at any point during a subscription, Pro+ follows the same rules as every other plan: downgrades and cancellations take effect at your next billing renewal date.

### Raycast for Teams Free

Raycast for Teams Free includes everything in Raycast Free for every member, plus a Private Store and Shared Commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks: up to 5 commands and up to 30 Snippets and Quicklinks. Teams Free isn't a trial and doesn't expire, so you can use it for as long as you want.

> [!NOTE]
> Unlock Raycast AI for your whole team with [Raycast for Teams Pro](https://raycast.com/teams). AI features aren’t included in Teams Free.

### Raycast for Teams Pro, Pro+, Max

Paid Teams plans give every member everything in the matching individual plan: Raycast AI with the same models, monthly credits, and bring your own AI. You also get unlimited Shared Commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks alongside the Private Store.

| Teams plan | Monthly per member | Yearly per member | Monthly AI credits per member | AI models |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Teams Pro | $15 | $144 | 500 | Fast and powerful models |
| Teams Pro+ | $25 | $240 | 3,000 | All models, including top-tier |
| Teams Max | $65 | $624 | 7,500 | All models, including top-tier |

Credits are per member and aren't pooled across the team. There's no minimum or maximum number of seats. Add members whenever you need to, and pay per user, per month. For the latest prices and billing options, head to [raycast.com/pricing](https://raycast.com/pricing).

If your plan is provided by an organization, **Settings → Account** identifies the team managing it. Members with billing permission can choose **Manage Team Plan**. Your account also shows your credit balance and the option to purchase a top-up.

### Raycast for Enterprise

Enterprise runs on dedicated enterprise terms and SLAs that replace the standard Terms of Service, with custom pricing billed annually. It is not available to purchase from the website. To get started, head to [raycast.com/enterprise](https://www.raycast.com/enterprise) or contact us at [enterprise@raycast.com](mailto:enterprise@raycast.com).

## Create an account

You can create your Raycast account from our website at [raycast.com](https://www.raycast.com/).

Alternatively, if using the iOS version of Raycast, you can create a new account when launching the app for the first time. Simply tap **Create Account** on the splash screen that appears on first launch or when the app is logged out.

## Start a new subscription

You can either create an account first or start a new subscription right away. Head to the [Pricing](https://www.raycast.com/pricing) section of our website and choose a subscription and billing interval.

If you're using the iOS app, you can sign up for a subscription whilst creating your account, or log in to your account and open Settings. Either tap **Try Free** at the top of the Settings page to begin a 7-day free trial, which is available for the Pro plan only, or tap **Subscription** to subscribe to any plan directly. Pro+ and Max don't include a trial and start billing right away.

## How you are billed

Billing works identically whether you are on a Raycast Individuals plan or a Teams plan. Raycast for Enterprise has custom pricing and is billed annually. Contact us directly at [enterprise@raycast.com](mailto:enterprise@raycast.com) to learn more.

### Paid Plans

All paid plans, whether Pro, Pro+, or Max, can be billed either Monthly or Yearly. You choose your billing cycle at checkout.

#### Trial period

Free trials apply to the Pro plan only. New users begin a 7-day trial immediately when they create an account, and existing v1 users begin theirs when they move to Raycast v2. If you already have a paid subscription, it carries over as is, with no new trial. If you started a Pro subscription at checkout, you will automatically be billed when the trial ends, depending on the billing cycle chosen. To avoid being charged, you can cancel before the trial period ends via your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account).

Each user account is entitled to one free trial. If you end your subscription and resubscribe later, your new subscription will begin billing immediately with no new trial period.

The free trial includes 500 AI credits and access to the models available on the Pro plan. Top-tier models in Pro+ and Max are not part of the trial. Trial credits expire 7 days after they're granted, and if you upgrade during your trial, any remaining trial credits are used before your monthly plan credits.

#### Monthly billing

Monthly subscriptions to Pro, Pro+, or Max bill on the day you subscribe, then on the same date each month. For the Pro plan, which comes with a 7-day free trial, billing starts on the day the trial ends. Start a Pro trial on 3rd March, for example, and you'll be billed on 10th March, 10th April, and so on until you cancel.

#### Yearly billing

Yearly subscriptions to Pro, Pro+, or Max bill on the day you subscribe, then on the same date each year. For the Pro plan, which comes with a 7-day free trial, billing starts on the day the trial ends. If your Pro trial ends on 14th March 2026, for example, you'll be billed on 14th March 2027, 14th March 2028, and so on until you cancel.

> [!NOTE]
> Going yearly saves you money. Head to [raycast.com/pricing](https://raycast.com/pricing) to see the latest offers.

#### Auto-renewal

Both Monthly and Yearly subscriptions automatically renew. You'll be billed at the next billing date unless you cancel before.

#### Cancelling your subscription

You can end your subscription at any time from your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account). This will end your auto-renewal. You'll continue to receive your plan's benefits right up until your renewal date and will then revert to a Free account.

#### Changing plans

You can upgrade or downgrade between Pro, Pro+, and Max at any time from your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account). Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at your next billing renewal date, and you keep your current plan's benefits until then.

### Top-Up Credits

You can purchase additional AI credits at any time from **Top Up** in **Settings → Account**. Top-up credits expire 12 months after purchase. Credits are used in order of expiry date, so the credits that expire first are spent first. This usually means monthly credits are used before top-up credits. Note that using credits requires an active paid subscription. Learn more about credits on [AI Credits](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/ai-credits#top-up-credits).

## Manage your subscription

### Subscriptions from Raycast.com

This will take you to the App Store, where you'll be able to change your plan, your billing cycle, or cancel your subscription.

Alternatively, open the iOS App Store, tap Settings (top-right icon), then tap **Subscriptions**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Plans & Accounts

### Do I need a subscription to use Raycast?

No, our Free plan is totally free, forever!

### Why is Raycast free for personal use?

We think of Raycast as a productivity layer that everybody should use to get work done faster. To make it accessible, we don't charge for the individual plan. The plan covers all built-in extensions, such as Clipboard History, Calendar or Window Management, and provides access to all public extensions built by our community.

### Do I need separate accounts to use Raycast on Mac, Windows and iOS?

No, you only need one Raycast account to access the same features on each platform that account is logged into.

### Can I get a paid plan without AI?

No, all paid plans include AI. However, you can turn off AI completely in Settings, which will disable all AI features.

### What happened to the Advanced AI add-on?

Advanced AI has been replaced by the **Raycast Pro+** plan. If you subscribed to Pro with the Advanced AI add-on, your subscription moves to Pro+ automatically, and existing subscribers receive double credits.

### AI Credits

### What is free and paid in Raycast AI?

Raycast AI is included in paid plans. Eligible new accounts can start a free Pro trial with access to Pro models. Top-tier AI models are included with Pro+ and Max, and are not part of the trial.

### What are AI credits?

AI credits are how AI usage is measured in Raycast. Every paid plan includes a monthly amount of credits, and you can top up if you need more. Each model spends credits at its own rate, so cheaper models go further. Learn more on [AI Credits](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/ai-credits).

### Do AI credits expire?

Yes. Trial credits expire after 7 days, monthly plan credits expire after 60 days (so unused credits roll over for one extra billing cycle), and top-up credits expire 12 months after purchase. Cancelling your plan doesn't change when credits expire, but you'll need an active paid subscription to use them.

### Payments & Billing

### Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major payment cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, and UnionPay through our billing partner, Stripe. We also accept PayPal.

### How do I change the payment method for my subscription?

Head to your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account) and click **View Billing Info**. You'll be able to update your payment method there.

### Which currencies do you support?

We support payments in US dollars (USD).

### What happens if a payment fails?

We'll send an email to the billing contact if a payment doesn't go through. You can easily update your card details anytime from your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account).

Our system will automatically retry the payment over the next few days. If payment still does not go through, you'll be reverted back to our free plan. Please reach out to us at [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com) if you need any assistance.

### Something went wrong at checkout?

Please contact us at [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com) and we'll sort it out for you as soon as possible!

### I paid my overdue invoice but my subscription did not reactivate?

Subscriptions don't automatically renew after paying an overdue invoice. Reach out to us at [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com) and we'll get this reactivated for you.

### I cannot change my plan

Check your [Account Settings](https://www.raycast.com/settings/account) for outstanding invoices or a scheduled cancellation. For an organization plan, contact the member who manages your team's billing. If you still need help, contact [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com).

### Trials & Discounts

### Do you offer any trials or discounts?

New users automatically begin a free 7-day trial of the Pro plan when they create an account, and existing users receive one when moving to Raycast v2. Trials apply to the Pro plan only.

Raycast offers a 50% Pro plan discount to verified students. You can apply by completing [this form](https://raycastapp.typeform.com/to/hSoIknLJ). Please note that the student discount only applies to the Raycast Pro plan.

### My student discount code shows invalid at checkout?

Student discount codes can only be used once, so if you previously used one for a Pro subscription that you've since ended, it will not work again if you resubscribe. If you're still a verified student, contact us at [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com) and we can issue you with a new one.

### Teams & Organizations

### Can I use the Free and Teams plans in my organization?

Yes, the Raycast Free and Teams plans are available for both personal and organizational use, including in corporate environments. You are not required to upgrade to a paid tier to use the free features for your organization.

### Is the free Teams plan a trial?

No, the free plan for Teams doesn't expire, and isn't a trial. You can use this plan for as long as you want within your organization, however you are limited to just 30 shared Snippets, 30 shared Quicklinks, and 5 Commands across all of your Extensions.

### How many seats do I get in a Teams plan?

There is no minimum or maximum amount of seats that your team can have. You add users to your plan when you need to add to your team, and pay per user, per month.

### Can I have personal Extensions and Team Extensions?

Yes, you can create personal Extensions that are personalized to you and speed up your productivity, and have team Extensions that can be shared around in your organization for everyone to use. Team Extensions will be available in the Store command, behind a filter for your Team. This is where all of your Team Extensions will live, and where you can install them.

### Can I be part of multiple organizations?

Yes, there is no limit to how many organizations you can be part of. It's important to remember to avoid using multiple email addresses for different organizations, as you need to log in to the app in order to access the shared Snippets, Quicklinks and Extensions.

### Something Else

### I've paid for a Pro subscription, but don't seem to have unlimited Clipboard History?

You need to enable unlimited Clipboard History manually. Head into Settings → Clipboard History and change the **Keep history for…** setting to your liking ("unlimited" is one of the options).

### Who can I contact if I have other issues?

Please reach out to us at [billing@raycast.com](mailto:billing@raycast.com).
