# Plans & Billing

> DBDock Cloud plans — Free, Pro, and Business. What each unlocks: connections, scheduled backups, managed storage, encryption, team seats, alerts, and admin panels.

DBDock Cloud has three plans. The free plan is genuinely useful on its own; paid plans raise limits and unlock automation, encryption, and team features.

<Note>
  Limits change as plans evolve. This page describes what each plan unlocks; for the authoritative, up-to-date numbers and prices, see the [pricing page](https://dbdock.xyz/pricing).

## Managed storage quota

DBDock meters your managed-storage usage. As you approach your quota you'll see an in-app banner, and on eligible plans an email. If you hit the limit, new managed-storage backups are held off until you free space or upgrade — existing backups are never deleted to make room. Route large or long-lived backups to [your own bucket](/cloud/storage) to keep managed storage lean.

## Upgrade, downgrade, and the portal

Manage your subscription from **Billing** in the dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately so new limits apply right away. Billing and invoices are handled through the customer portal linked from that page.

## What counts against limits

* **Backups per month** — counted per completed backup run, across manual and scheduled.
* **Migrations and copies per month** — counted per job.
* **Connections, schedules, alerts, admin panels** — counted by how many exist, not how often they run.
