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.

 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.
