Billing, the Free Trial, and Cancellation

Billing, the Free Trial, and Cancellation

This page explains exactly what you are charged, when, and how to stop it. Billing is handled by Stripe: Meridian never sees or stores your card details.

The plans

Meridian has a free plan and one paid plan, Meridian Pro, at $8.99 per month. Your current plan, and the exact AI credit allowance each plan includes, are always shown live on the Plans and credits page in the app (Settings: See plans).

The 7-day free trial

First-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial of Pro. You enter a card at checkout, but nothing is charged during the trial.

When the trial ends, two things can happen:

The trial is offered once. If you have subscribed before, starting Pro again begins billing right away with no trial.

How to cancel

  1. Open the app and go to the Plans and credits page (Settings: Plans and credits).
  2. Select "Open billing portal" under Manage billing.
  3. In the Stripe billing portal, choose Cancel subscription.

Cancelling stops all future charges. Pro features stay available until the end of the trial or the month you have already paid for, then your account moves to the free plan. Nothing else about your account changes: your plants, journals, photos, and data all stay.

You can also update your payment method and download past invoices from the same billing portal.

AI credits

AI credits pay for chat replies, photo diagnoses, and meter scans.

Buying a top-up pack is a single one-time payment. It never starts a recurring charge.

Questions or problems

If a charge looks wrong, or you cancelled and were still billed, contact support@growmeridian.com and we will sort it out.
