# 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.

### 💎 Spectre Cloud — Core Subscription

The core plan is what every pro shop needs to get started. It includes everything required to manage clients, spec sheets, and arsenals from any device.

- ✅ All basic Spectre functions you love and adore
- ✅ Data stored securely on the Spectre Cloud server
- ✅ No backups required — no risk of losing your data if a device breaks
- ✅ Multiple devices on the same account
- ✅ Access from any modern web browser (desktop, tablet, mobile)

**Price:** `$29.99 USD / month` *(yearly pricing also available)*

### 🔌 Cloud Plug-Ins (Optional Add-Ons)

Plug-ins let you tailor Spectre Cloud to your specific workflow. Each plug-in is billed separately and can be added or removed from your subscription at any time. To add a plug-in, simply go to the **Settings** section in Spectre Cloud and enable the one you want.

#### 👤 Bowler Plus — `$5 USD / month`

### 🗓️ Monthly vs Yearly Billing

- **Monthly:** Pay as you go — ideal if you want flexibility or are testing the platform.
- **Yearly:** Available for discounted pricing — best for established shops committed to the platform.

### ❄️ Pausing or Cancelling Your Subscription

You can cancel your Spectre Cloud subscription at any time from the **Profile** section. Once your account is inactive:

- ✅ You can still log in with **read-only access** to consult your data at no cost.
- ❌ You cannot create new clients or new spec sheets until you reactivate the subscription.
- ✅ Reactivating restores full functionality immediately — no data loss.

### 📌 Important Notes

- Prices may vary during the subscription period.
- Plug-ins are sold separately from the core subscription.
- Yearly pricing is available — contact Spectre or check the billing section for current rates.
- You retain the right to cancel at any time.

**Tip:** Not sure which plug-ins you need? Start with the core Spectre Cloud plan and add plug-ins later as your shop's needs evolve. You can enable or disable add-ons anytime from Settings.
