How does billing work?

This Higgsfield help-centre article of 1 August 2026 explains how subscriptions are paid and charged. A plan renews automatically on the calendar date of the first purchase, and checkout adds local sales tax or VAT on top of the prices shown on the Pricing page. Price increases come with at least 30 days' email notice and apply only from the next renewal; before disputing a charge with a bank, Higgsfield asks you to check billing history and contact Support, since a chargeback can restrict the account.
