Frequently-asked questions about billing on Notebook.ai
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ What is Notebook.ai Premium?
+
+
+
+ The free Notebook.ai experience was intentionally designed to be powerful enough for most amateur worldbuilders.
+ All users receive full access to the core trifecta of worldbuilding pages:
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Characters', page_type: Character) %>,
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Locations', page_type: Location) %>, and
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Items', page_type: Item) %>.
+
+
+ Notebook.ai Premium is an optional upgrade for adventurous worldbuilders looking to take their fictional worlds
+ to the next level. A Premium subscription unlocks <%= Rails.application.config.content_types[:premium].count %>
+ additional page types for you to create:
+
+
+ <% Rails.application.config.content_types[:premium].each_with_index do |page_type, idx| %>
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: page_type.name.pluralize, page_type: page_type) %>,
+ <% end %>
+ and unlimited <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Universes', page_type: Universe) %> to
+ organize your worlds into.
+
+
+ Notebook.ai Premium also unlocks several other advanced features across the site, such as
+ Timelines, our AI-powered document analysis, Collections that organize your worlds in new ways,
+ and increased upload storage space for all of your images and reference material.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ What price tiers are available?
+
+
+
+ There are two account tiers on Notebook.ai: Starter and Premium.
+
+
+ The free tier is called Starter. You can create unlimited
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Characters', page_type: Character) %>,
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Locations', page_type: Location) %>, and
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Items', page_type: Item) %>, as well as create up
+ to 5
+ <%= linked_page_type(text: 'Universes', page_type: Universe) %> to organize your
+ worlds into.
+
+
+ The paid tier is called Premium. Premium starts at $9 per month, but you can
+ secure it at a cheaper price by choosing longer subscription periods. Right now,
+ the following options are available:
+
+
+
$9 per month, paid every month
+
$8 per month, paid every three months ($24 at a time)
+
$7 per month, paid once per year ($84 at a time)
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ When do subscriptions renew?
+
+
+
+ Subscriptions automatically renew based on the date you started them. You can
+ see what day your subscription will renew by viewing your
+ <%= link_to 'Billing Page', subscription_path %> with a subscription active.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ What is your cancellation policy?
+
+
+
+ You're free to cancel any subscription at any time, without any penalties or
+ additional fees. To do so, simply visit your
+ <%= link_to 'Billing Page', subscription_path %> and click "Downgrade"
+ to switch back to the free Starter tier. Your subscription will cancel
+ immediately and any unused time will be credited back to your account.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How do I cancel my subscription?
+
+
+
+ You can cancel a subscription at any time by visiting your
+ <%= link_to 'Billing Page', subscription_path %> and clicking "Downgrade"
+ to switch back to the free Starter tier. Your subscription will
+ cancel immediately and no longer renew.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ What happens to my notebook when I cancel my subscription?
+
+
+
+ Once you've created any page on Notebook.ai, you will keep full access to
+ view, edit, and/or share that page, regardless of whether you have an
+ active Premium subscription or not.
+
+
+ While on the free Starter tier, you simply cannot create additional
+ Premium pages without re-upgrading to a new subscription. Your existing pages
+ are always yours and will never be locked behind any kind of payment to access.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How do I purchase Premium without a subscription?
+
+
+
+ Notebook.ai also offers prepaid subscriptions where you choose a duration of time
+ you'd like Premium for and pay upfront for that time. Afterwards, your account
+ will automatically be downgraded back to the free Starter tier, but you'll keep
+ full access to any pages you've already created.
+
+
+ To pay for Premium without a subscription, you'll need to purchase and activate a
+ Premium Code <%= link_to 'here', prepay_path %>.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ What are Premium Codes?
+
+
+
+ Premium Codes are prepaid codes that can be shared with others and activated on any
+ account to enable Premium access for a set amount of time. Premium Codes are often
+ purchased by those who don't wish to have a renewing subscription, or wish to gift
+ Premium to someone else without sharing their payment details.
+
+
+ Premium Codes are available for purchase <%= link_to 'here', prepay_path %>.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How do I pay with Paypal?
+
+
+
+ Right now, we don't accept Paypal payments for the standard Premium subscription.
+
+
+ However, we do accept Paypal for Premium Code purchases, which can be activated for
+ the same Premium access without a recurring subscription. You can purchase Premium
+ codes <%= link_to 'here', prepay_path %>.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How can I purchase Premium for a friend?
+
+
+
+ The best way to purchase Premium for a friend is with Premium Codes. Premium Codes
+ allow for you to prepay for as much Premium as you'd like and receive a code that
+ you can share with your friend, which they can then activate on their account
+ whenever they want.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How can I share my Premium access with my collaborators?
+
+
+
+ When you have an active Premium subscription, any collaborators you add to your
+ universes will automatically receive Premium access when they're working within
+ your universe. This will let them create Premium pages as if they had Premium
+ themselves.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ How can I change or remove my payment information?
+
+
+
+ Notebook.ai doesn't store your payment information anywhere on our site or servers;
+ instead, our industry-standard payment processor Stripe handles the secure storage
+ of your payment information.
+
+
+ While not storing your payment information protects us from data leaks that could
+ otherwise put your data at risk, it also means we can't provide access to directly
+ view or edit your existing payment information.
+
+
+ If you wish to change your saved payment method, we recommend you first delete
+ your existing payment method and simply add a new one.
+ You can delete existing payment methods or add new payment methods at any time
+ by visiting your <%= link_to 'Billing History', billing_history_path %> page.
+
+
+
+
+

+ How do I request a refund?

+
+ help
+ How can I download my entire notebook?
+
+
+
+ Notebook.ai supports data exports in CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, and plaintext formats.
+
+
+ To export your notebook, just click "Export your data" in the
+ <%= link_to 'Data Vault', data_vault_path %> and select the format you want.
+
+
+
+
+
+ help
+ Am I allowed to just use a free Notebook.ai account forever?
+
+
+
Of course! :)
+
+ I wish I could provide Notebook.ai for free to everyone. In fact, the site is
+ intentionally designed for the free tier to be enough for most worldbuilders,
+ leaving the Premium subscription to those who want to dive deep and really flesh
+ out amazing worlds.
+
+
+ Offering a Premium subscription has kept the site running smoothly for over
+ half a million users since 2016—and we're not planning on going away
+ any time soon. Whether you're subscribed and supporting the site financially
+ or just using the site, sharing it with friends, and/or offering feedback, you're
+ still supporting the site. ♥
+
+

+
+ Feel free to reach out to me any time at andrew@indentlabs.com
+ or post on the <%= link_to 'Site Support', 'https://www.notebook.ai/forum/site-support' %>
+ discussion board. I'm constantly working to make the site better and I'm always happy
+ to help!
