Plan, Drops & Usage

The Plan area is where workspace owners and billing users manage subscription details, included Drops, storage, and plan-level settings. Detailed consumption lives in Usage, which is a separate workspace area in the product navigation.

Drops are Iara Data's usage unit. AI chat, dashboard generation, KPI automation, investigations, advanced analyses, reports, and ingestion helpers consume Drops according to the operation executed. Paid plans include unlimited users; your plan determines the monthly Drops pool, storage allowance, and advanced capabilities.

Transparency Section

We believe in billing transparency. The Effective Limits section shows:

Column	Meaning
Plan Base	Included Drops, storage allowance, and enabled capabilities
Bonuses / Add-ons	Extra Drops or storage earned through campaigns, referrals, or purchases
Effective	Your current Drops pool, storage allowance, and active budget caps

Drops Balance

Shows your current Drops balance, lots, grants, top-ups, and debits. Before a paid operation runs, the product can preview the estimated Drop cost so admins and users understand consumption before committing.

Referral Program

Earn extra resources by inviting others to Iara Data!

How It Works

1. Share your referral link — Found in the Plan area
2. They sign up and become active — When your referee starts using the platform
3. You earn bonuses — Extra Drops, storage, and campaign-defined benefits

Referral Tiers

Referral bonuses should be configured as Drops, storage, or commercial credits. Users, datasets, KPIs, and dashboards are not referral quota dimensions in the Drops model.

Custom Plans

Enterprise customers can request custom plans with:

• Custom Drops commitments and storage packages
• Invoice-based billing
• Dedicated support
• Custom SLAs

Custom plans show a special notice in the Plan area and skip standard enforcement rules.

Upgrading

Click Update Subscription to:

• View all available plans with feature comparisons
• Start a free trial (14 days for paid plans)
• Change your billing method

Usage Area

Use Usage when you need a more detailed breakdown of activity by assistant, feature, or workspace consumption. Think of Plan as the subscription and limits view, and Usage as the operational detail view.

Invoices

The Invoices section shows all past invoices with download links.
