Billing and Plans

Billing explains what your current plan allows right now and what changes if you move to a paid workspace path.

The plan matters because it decides whether you can create owned hubs, private skill setups, more clients, hub addresses, and paid skills.

Pro workspaces can have up to 10 owned hubs. If Billing shows 10 of 10 owned hubs, create another hub only after reducing usage or changing plans.

Read Billing before treating a locked button as a setup problem. Many blocked actions are plan or limit questions, not broken setup questions.

Common signs that you should start here: a button is locked, a button is disabled, you cannot create a hub, you cannot add another client, or a page says the workspace has reached a limit.

Some readers call this a billing wall, can’t add problem, plan gate, or upgrade required state. Start here before changing setup.

Start Here If

• a button is locked or disabled;
• a message says upgrade required;
• you cannot create a hub or cannot add another client;
• hub addresses, paid skills, or Live Map access are unavailable;
• you need to separate a plan limit from a setup problem.

Billing shows plan limits, hub addresses, skill access, and help options before a limit blocks you.

When an action is locked, read the plan gate first. A locked action usually needs a Billing check before more setup changes.

What Billing Shows

Limits

How many hubs, skills, clients, permissions, and daily uses your plan allows.

Runtime

Whether private skill setups and runtime config are available.

Hub addresses

Whether custom hub addresses are available.

Skill Store

Whether paid skills are available for the workspace.

Help options

The help choices available for your plan.

Common Plan Effects

Private skill setups means your plan includes space for your own skill groups and shared runtime settings. In plain language, it is what lets your workspace run hubs with their own skills instead of only using public hubs.

Plan item	Why it matters
Owned hubs	Needed to create and run private workspace hubs. Pro allows up to 10.
Private skill setups	Needed when your own hubs need their own skills and runtime config.
Private skills	Needed when your own hubs need custom skill groups.
Client limit	Controls how many clients can be created.
Hub addresses	Allows custom hub addresses for the workspace.
Public hub listing	Allows hubs to appear in discovery.
Paid skills	Allows paid Skill Store entries where available.
Live Map	May depend on owned hubs or private workspace features.

Free Path vs Workspace Path

Path	Good for	Usually includes
Free path	Learning, trying public hubs, and creating a simple client.	Public hub discovery and an included client allowance.
Workspace path	Running owned hubs and private skill setups.	Owned hubs, private skill setups, hub addresses, more clients, and help options.

Context Banners

If you land on Billing from a locked button or page, Billing explains why. For example:

• owned hubs require room for owned hubs;
• private skill groups require the right plan;
• runtime config requires private skill setups;
• more clients require room for more clients;
• Live Map may require a plan that includes owned hubs.

Read a Plan Gate

When a page sends you to Billing, read the gate in this order:

1. Action: what is unavailable right now.
2. Current limit: whether the workspace has reached a limit.
3. Plan path: whether the action needs a different plan.
4. Help options: where to ask if the limit does not match what you expect.

This keeps plan questions separate from setup questions. If the plan allows the action but it still does not work, return to the page you came from and read the status message.

Example Plan Questions

Use the locked button scenario when you need to decide whether a blocked action is a plan limit or a setup issue.

Tip

Use Billing before a limit blocks you. It is easier to plan a workspace when limits, hub addresses, and help options are visible up front.

Billing Is Clear When

Billing is clear when you know:

• which plan you are on;
• which limit or feature affects your next action;
• whether current usage has reached that limit;
• whether help options are available for the question;
• which page to return to after the plan check.
