Your billing cycle starts the day you purchase one of our Plans and ends the same day of the next month or next year (if you are paying annually). Instead, the limit of audios that you can make is renewed on the first day of each month. In other words, if you buy one of our plans on April 10th, your Audios credit will be activated that same day. The next payment will be made automatically on May 10th, however, on May 1st the Audio counter will be reset and it will start again.

You can manage all of this on your own from your dashboard!
