Choosing a Plan & How Billing Works

Choosing the right ModulawAI plan is the first step to transforming how your legal practice operates. This guide explains every plan tier, how credits work, and what to expect from billing, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

The Plan Tiers at a Glance

Each tier unlocks progressively more powerful features.

How Credits Work

Credits are ModulawAI’s unit of compute. Think of them like fuel: every AI action consumes a small amount of credits, and your plan includes a monthly allocation.

What consumes credits:

  • Asking the legal assistant a question (varies by AI model, see the Models)
  • Running a comprehensive research session
  • Generating a legal draft or artifact
  • AI Employees (SuperAgents) running on schedule

What does NOT consume credits:

  • Case management operations (creating cases, tasks, events)
  • Document storage and organisation
  • Workspace administration
  • Viewing your own data and dashboards

Your credit balance resets at the start of each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over.

Billing Cycle

ModulawAI operates on a monthly billing cycle. Here is how it works:

  1. Sign-up date — Your billing cycle starts the day you subscribe to a paid plan.
  2. Monthly renewal — You are billed automatically on the same date each month.
  3. Credit reset — Your credit allocation refreshes on your billing date, not the calendar month.

Upgrading Your Plan

You can upgrade at any time. When you upgrade:

  • The new plan takes effect immediately.
  • You are charged the prorated difference for the remainder of your current billing cycle.
  • Your credit allocation is topped up to the new plan’s level, proportionally to the days remaining.

Example: If you are on the student plan (₦4,000/month) and upgrade to Essential (₦35,000/month) with 15 days left in your cycle, you pay roughly ₦17,500 for the remaining days and receive a proportional credit top-up.

Downgrading Your Plan

Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle, not immediately. This ensures you retain full access to your current plan’s features for the period you have already paid for.

When the new cycle begins:

  • Your plan switches to the lower tier.
  • Your credit allocation adjusts to the new plan’s level.
  • Features exclusive to the higher tier become unavailable.

Invoices & Billing History

All invoices are accessible from your Billing page in Settings. Each invoice includes:

  • Plan name and billing period
  • Line items (plan fee, any add-ons)
  • Payment method used
  • Payment status (paid, pending, failed)

Invoices are generated at the start of each billing cycle. You can download them as PDFs for your records.

Payment Methods

ModulawAI accepts:

  • Debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Verve)
  • Bank transfers (for annual plans)
  • USSD (select Nigerian banks)

Payment methods can be updated at any time from the Billing page. If a payment fails, you will receive an email notification and have a 7-day grace period to update your payment method before service is interrupted.

Annual Plans

All paid plans are available on an annual billing cycle at a 33% discount. Annual plans are billed upfront for the full year. Credits are allocated monthly, so you receive a fresh batch each month rather than all at once.
