Plans and Billing
How Clics billing works: monthly event volume, Pro Business and Enterprise plans, trials, and paid access to the API and MCP.
Clics uses an event-based billing system. Your plan includes a monthly event allotment based on the traffic volume you choose. Pageviews and custom events count toward that allotment.
For current prices, visit the pricing page.
Manage your subscription in the dashboard under Settings → Billing.
Overview
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Events | Pageviews and custom events ingested for your workspace |
| Projects | Sites tracked in the workspace (hard limit on Pro) |
| Trial | 30 days, no credit card; dashboard and tracking unlocked |
| Paid plan | Required for API keys, REST API, MCP, and CLI against the API |
Events
Events are the unit of usage. Each accepted tracking hit counts as one event, including:
- Automatic pageviews from the tracker
- Custom events sent with
track()(see Custom Events)
Your monthly allotment is set by the volume tier on your plan (from 10K to 10M events per month on self-serve plans). Usage resets with each billing cycle. You can monitor current usage on Settings → Billing.
Soft limit vs hard limit
| Resource | When you hit the limit |
|---|---|
| Events | Soft limit. Tracking continues; usage still shows in the billing UI |
| Projects | Hard limit. Creating another project fails until you upgrade or free a slot |
Volume tiers
Self-serve Pro and Business plans use these monthly event bands:
10K · 100K · 200K · 500K · 1M · 2M · 5M · 10M
Above 10M, or for custom terms, use Enterprise.
Exact prices change with volume and billing interval. Always confirm on clics.dev/pricing.

API and MCP access
During an active trial or after subscribing to a paid plan:
- Create an API key under Settings → API keys
- Call the REST API with
Authorization: Bearer … - Or connect MCP / use the CLI
After the trial expires, if the workspace has no paid subscription, REST API and API-key-backed MCP/CLI calls return:
{
"error": "API requires an active trial or paid plan",
"code": "UPGRADE_REQUIRED"
}HTTP status: 403.
Manage your subscription
From Settings → Billing you can:
- See event and project usage against your plan
- Change volume tier (Pro or Business)
- Switch between monthly and yearly billing
- Upgrade or downgrade plans
- Open the customer portal for payment methods and invoices (Settings → Invoices)
Payments and the customer portal are processed with Stripe.
Upgrades and downgrades
- Upgrades apply when payment succeeds; new limits (events, projects, features) take effect for the workspace
- Downgrades follow your billing provider’s schedule (typically next renewal for plan changes). Check the billing UI for the effective date
Running out of events or losing access
| Situation | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly event allotment reached | Tracking continues (soft limit) | Upgrade volume on Settings → Billing if you need headroom |
| Project limit reached (Pro) | New projects cannot be created | Upgrade to Business/Enterprise or remove a project |
| Trial ended, no paid plan | Dashboard wall; tracking stops | Subscribe on pricing or Billing |
| REST/local MCP after an expired trial | 403 UPGRADE_REQUIRED |
