1.2.2 Choosing your subscription plan
Choosing Your Subscription Plan
Spectre Cloud uses a simple, transparent subscription model. You start with the core Spectre Cloud plan and then add optional plug-ins to customize the platform to your shop's needs. There are no installation fees, no per-device charges, and you can cancel at any time.
