Unkey uses Stripe for all billing. Each workspace has its own subscription, payment method, and invoices. You manage billing from Settings > Billing in the dashboard.

​
Plans

Unkey offers multiple plan tiers. Every workspace starts on the Free plan. Paid plans unlock higher limits, longer data retention, and team collaboration.

Unkey prorates charges when you upgrade mid-cycle. The difference is applied to your next invoice.

​
Downgrade or cancel

  1. Navigate to Settings > Billing.
  2. Click Cancel plan at the bottom of the billing page.
  3. Confirm the cancellation.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Your workspace continues to operate with paid plan limits until that date. After the period ends, the workspace reverts to Free plan defaults. If you cancel by mistake, you can resume your subscription from the same billing page before the period ends. Once subscribed, the billing page shows your current plan, usage, and options to change your plan, open the Stripe billing portal, or cancel.

Billing portal

The billing portal lets you manage payment methods, view invoices, and update billing details through Stripe.
  1. Navigate to Settings > Billing.
  2. Click Open Portal.
The portal opens in a new page hosted by Stripe. From there you can:
  • Update or replace your payment method
  • Download past invoices
  • Update billing contact information

​
Usage tracking

The billing page and sidebar display your workspace’s usage as a percentage of your monthly request quota. This combines key verifications and rate limit operations for the current billing month. Unkey sends email notifications when your workspace approaches or exceeds its quota.
