# Upgrade

The **Upgrade** page allows you to explore and purchase plans that align with your team's usage needs — whether you're just starting out or scaling fast. You can toggle between **Monthly** and **Annual** billing options and purchase **one-time add-ons** for Q\&A sessions and datastore storage whenever needed.

***

## Choose a Plan That Fits

Each AptlyStar subscription plan comes with usage limits across:

* **Q\&A sessions** per month
* **Team members**
* **Webpage connections**
* **File upload size**
* **AI knowledge base (datastore) size**

You can view and switch between **monthly** and **annual** billing cycles using the toggle at the top of the page.

## 📅 Monthly Billing

If you prefer flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing, the monthly billing option offers three tiers:

* **Starter** – \$12/month\
  Great for small teams or solo creators\
  → 1,200 Q\&A, 3 members, 10 webpages, 1GB data size

* **Scale** – \$60/month\
  Best for mid-sized teams with moderate usage\
  → 3,600 Q\&A, 25 members, 25 webpages, 2.5GB data size

  Ideal for growing businesses and large AI deployments\
  → 12,000 Q\&A, 50 members, 100 webpages, 5GB data size

## Need More? Add-on Packs

You don’t have to upgrade the entire plan to get more resources. AptlyStar supports **one-time add-on purchases** for both **Q\&A usage** and **datastore size** — with no limits on how many times you top up.

These add-ons are applied instantly and stack with your current plan.

***

### Add Extra Q\&A Sessions

Perfect for months where your AI agents experience a spike in conversations.

| Additional Q\&A | Price |
| --------------- | ----- |
| 500             | \$15  |
| 1000            | \$30  |
| 2000            | \$45  |

→ Purchase as many as needed — they do not expire monthly.

***

### Expand Datastore Storage

Add more capacity to your AI knowledge base without changing your plan.

| Additional Storage | Price |
| ------------------ | ----- |
| 500 MB             | \$50  |
| 1000 MB            | \$100 |
| 2000 MB            | \$180 |

→ Useful when uploading large PDFs, documents, or web crawls.
