Billing and your plan

ShelfCount has one plan — Pro, $50/month — and every account starts with a 14-day free trial.

The 14-day trial

Your trial starts the moment you create your account, and you get the full product — nothing is held back:

• Unlimited team members and storage locations
• Inventory counts on any phone — no app install
• Recipes with automatic ingredient-level costing
• Vendors, par levels, and one-click purchase orders
• Receipt scanning with review-first price updates
• Square sales sync and theoretical vs. actual COGS

Two weeks is enough to add your items, run real counts, and see your first food cost numbers — we’d suggest starting with the first-week guide.

Subscribing

You can subscribe any time during (or after) your trial from the billing page inside the app. Payments are handled by Stripe, the same payment processor used by millions of businesses — ShelfCount never sees or stores your card number. Card details and payment updates are managed through the billing page as well.

What happens when the trial ends

If your trial ends before you’ve subscribed, the app locks and signing in takes you straight to the billing page to subscribe. Your data is not deleted — your items, counts, recipes, and history are all waiting, and subscribing puts you right back where you left off.

If a payment fails

A failed renewal doesn’t lock you out on the spot. Stripe retries the charge automatically over the following days, and you keep full access while that happens — just update your card on the billing page. Access is only cut off if the subscription is ultimately canceled.

Canceling

You can cancel any time. After cancellation the app locks the same way an expired trial does, and resubscribing restores access to everything. If you’re leaving and want a copy of your data, or anything about billing looks wrong, email hello@insidermanagement.net — a real person reads it.
