How Billing Works

Nearbase uses a monthly subscription model. When you create an instance, you pay for the first full billing period upfront. Each month, the subscription automatically renews and the next period’s fee is charged.

​

Payment Priority

Payments follow this order:

1. Promo credits — If you have promotional credits in your account, they are applied first (until they expire or run out).
2. Cash balance — Any remaining amount is deducted from your account balance.
3. Saved card — If your balance is insufficient, the remaining amount is charged to your saved Stripe payment card.

​

Subscriptions

Each Nearbase instance is a separate subscription. You can view, manage, and cancel subscriptions from the Billing → Subscriptions page in the console.

​

Subscription States

​

Canceling a Subscription

When you delete an instance, its subscription is canceled. You receive a prorated credit back to your account balance for the unused days remaining in the billing period.

​

Invoices

Nearbase generates an invoice for each charge. You can view all invoices from the Billing → Transactions page. Each invoice includes:

• The billing period
• The instance name and region
• The amount charged
• A link to the Stripe receipt

​

Upcoming Renewal

The console shows you the upcoming renewal amount for each active subscription so there are no surprises at renewal time.

​

Failed Payments

If a renewal charge fails (insufficient balance and card decline), the subscription enters a past-due state. Nearbase will attempt to retry the charge. If payment cannot be collected, the instance will be suspended and eventually deleted. Ensure your balance is sufficient or keep a valid payment card on file. Need help with a billing question?
