# Usage and billing

> How much of the week you have used, what uses more, and plans, extra usage, your card and receipts.

## Usage

With a plan: how much of this week is used, as a bar and a percentage, and when the week resets. Then your extra usage, your past weeks as bars, and what uses more.

Without a plan, how many songs you wrote this week with your own key. Songcode sets no limit there; your provider bills your key.

On a plan Songcode, the greatest odist of all, writes your tracks, so no API key is needed. ode is the language every track is written in, and Songcode writes it at the composition quality you pick: fast, balanced or extra, or ultra compose. Because you subscribe, your models are tuned for optimal ode generation. Your own key keeps working with or without a plan.

Usage follows how much Songcode writes and with which model. A loop takes little and a full track more. Fast takes a small part of what extra does for the same track, and balanced about half. A track made with [ultra compose](https://docs.songco.de/app/compose/#ultra-compose) takes about four times what the same track takes without it. Rewriting or adding one stem in the [stems view](https://docs.songco.de/app/stem-editor/#regenerate-a-stem) takes very little. The repair pass that follows a failed check counts as well. A generation that fails is not counted. One you stop after writing has begun counts as a typical one of its kind.

Usage resets every week, at the time of day your first plan started. A track that has started always finishes, even past the limit. What it took past the limit comes from your extra usage if you have any, and otherwise out of the following week.

## Billing

Plans are not on sale yet. Billing is the one place they are listed, marked **coming soon**.

When plans open, you will choose one and pay by card here, without leaving the page. Choosing a plan opens a card form where the list was. Type the card, check the total on the **pay** button, and press it. **add a code** opens a field for a promotion code, and **apply** checks it. **back** returns to the list and charges nothing.

With a plan, the section will show how much of the week is used, as a bar and a percentage, when the week resets, and the card on file. **add** on the **extra usage** row buys more usage in a fixed amount, charged to that card once you confirm it. Extra usage is used only after the weekly limit is reached, and it does not expire. **update card** opens the same form to save a new card. Each larger plan has an **upgrade** button, which shows what the move costs today before anything is charged. **cancel plan** stops the plan at the end of the month already paid for, and **keep plan** undoes that until then. **receipts** unfolds a list of your payments, each one a PDF to download.

The [key sheet](https://docs.songco.de/app/models-and-keys/) will offer **songcode** as a third provider next to Anthropic and OpenAI, and with it selected the **composition quality** row in the composer offers fast, balanced and extra with a **tuned** badge, and the ultra compose switch under it.

> What is listed can change before plans go on sale.
