Billing providers at a glance
Tiro billing providers at a glance
Your billing provider is set by where you completed your payment.How to find your billing provider
1) Think back to where you paid Answer the question below for a quick check.- Paid on the web or in the desktop app → Stripe
- Paid in the iPhone app → App Store
- Paid in the Android app → Google Play Store
Good to know
- Your billing provider does not change automatically.
- Even with the same email or account, a different payment environment can mean a different billing provider.
- Refunds, billing errors, and invoices are handled according to each provider’s policy.
Desktop (Stripe): start, check, and cancel
If you paid on the web or in the desktop app (Mac / Windows), your billing provider is Stripe.Start a plan subscription
0) Open the billing page- Sign in to the Tiro website (https://tiro.ooo/) or the desktop app (Mac / Windows).
- Click your profile at the bottom left, then go to [Manage Subscription] or Settings > Manage Subscription.
- You can choose a paid plan and complete payment on this page.
Annual billing Choose annual billing to get two months free. Pay for ten months and use Tiro for the full twelve.1) Pay for an individual plan
- After signing in to Tiro, go to [Settings] → [Manage Subscription], choose your plan, and click Get started.
- In the payment window, review the plan, billing cycle (monthly/annual), and amount.
- If you have a promo code, click the field on the left to enter it.
- Sign in on the web or desktop app, then go to [Settings] → [Manage Subscription].
- Choose the billing cycle (monthly/annual), then click [Start team plan].
- For a team plan, you don’t pick the number of accounts at checkout. Seats are calculated automatically from the number of Admins and Members in your workspace, and shown and billed that way.
- For business users, check “Purchasing for business” on the right and enter your business registration number to be billed with the 10% VAT exemption.
Choose your billing currency (KRW, JPY, or USD)
Besides US dollars, you can also pay in Korean won or Japanese yen. In the web or desktop app, open [Settings] → [Plans], then use the [Billing currency] dropdown at the top right of the pricing table. The moment you pick a currency, the pricing table and the checkout window switch to it, and you’re charged exactly the amount shown on screen.If you want to switch currencies, turn off auto-renewal, let the remaining subscription period run out, and then check out again in the currency you want. There’s no need to cancel or refund what you’ve already paid. Keep using the rest of your period, and once it ends the [Billing currency] dropdown comes back. Note that it reappears when the period actually ends, not the moment you turn off auto-renewal. Each currency has its own set price rather than an exchange-rate conversion, so switching currencies changes what you pay. Compare both amounts in the pricing table before you switch.
Billing currency selection only exists for web and desktop app payments. In-app purchases on iOS and Android have no currency picker, and they cost more than web or desktop because of store fees.
Check your current plan
You can check your current plan two ways.- Click your profile at the bottom left > Plan info for a quick look.
- Click your profile > Manage Subscription for fuller subscription details.
- Your current plan
- Your next billing date
- The platform you paid on

You can cancel a plan that’s set to renew at any time from the Manage Subscription page. Even after you cancel, you can keep using Tiro until the period you’ve already paid for ends.Heads up Only subscriptions started on the web or desktop app can be canceled there. Subscriptions paid on another platform must be canceled on that platform. See the relevant guide for details. See the iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) subscription sections below on this page for the steps.

I tapped [Manage billing] in the Tiro app but it says “no active subscription”
In the Tiro app, [Settings] → [Plan] → [Manage billing] loads subscription details for the Google account currently signed in to Play Store on this device. If the Google account you paid with differs from the one currently signed in to Play Store, it may show “no active subscription”. How to find the Google account you paid with- Open the [Google Play] app on your phone.
- Go to the profile icon at the top right → [Payments & subscriptions] → the [Subscriptions] tab.
- The account where [Tiro] appears in the active subscriptions is the Google account used for payment. (If you don’t see Tiro in the active subscriptions, check the active subscriptions of your other Google Play Store accounts too.)
- Sign in to Play Store with that account, then tap [Manage billing] again in the Tiro app.
Check your current plan in the Google Play Store
- Go to Google Play Store > Account > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Find Tiro under Active (active subscriptions).

Cancel an upcoming renewal
Does canceling get me a refund? Canceling and refunding are different. Canceling means a subscription cancellation so you aren’t charged on the upcoming billing date. A refund returns an amount you’ve already paid, which you can request through the refund guide below.How to cancel a renewal in Play Store
- First check your subscription status by following the “Check your current plan” steps.
- Select the subscription you want to cancel.
- Cancel by tapping Cancel subscription > (enter a cancellation reason) > Cancel subscription in order.
Change or remove your payment method (card)
You can change your registered card anytime. If you paid by card on the web or desktop app (Stripe), you go straight from Tiro to the billing management page to add, change, or remove a card. If you paid through in-app purchase or bank transfer, the steps are a little different.Change your card on Stripe (web/desktop)
If you paid by card on the web or desktop app, manage your card in the following order.- Sign in to the Tiro website or desktop app, then go to [Settings] → [Plan Management].
- Click [Subscription & Payment] to open the Stripe billing page. (Tiro doesn’t host its own card-entry screen. It links you to Stripe’s secure billing page.)
- Manage your cards in the Payment methods section of the billing page.
- Add a card: Click Add payment method, enter the new card details, and save.
- Change your default card: Open the menu next to a card and click Make default. Your next payment is charged to this card.
- Remove a card: Open the menu next to a card and click Delete.
Add the new card before you switch The default card linked to an active subscription can’t be removed right away. At least one card has to remain for the next payment, so the delete button on the default card is greyed out. To swap cards, go in this order: ① add the new card → ② set the new card as default → ③ delete the old card. Once you cancel the subscription, you can remove cards freely.On a team plan, only the workspace Admin can open the billing page. The button stays disabled for regular members. If you’re already subscribed and want to switch currencies, turn off auto-renewal, let the remaining period run out, and check out again in the currency you want. There’s no need to refund what you’ve already paid. See Choose your billing currency earlier on this page for the steps. If paying in your local currency is essential, reach out through the in-app messenger (customer support).
Change your card for in-app purchases (App Store / Google Play)
If you paid in the iOS app (App Store) or the Android app (Google Play), you change your card in each store’s subscription settings, not in Tiro.- iOS: App Store → your account → payment information.
- Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Payment methods.
If you paid by bank transfer
If you’re paying by bank transfer, contact us through the in-app messenger (support) to change your payment method and we’ll help.Heads up! When your subscription has fully expired and you’re back on the free plan, the button to open billing management no longer appears in the app. If you want to clean up your card then, reach out through the in-app messenger (support) and we’ll take care of it.
Change your plan (upgrade / downgrade)
On a monthly subscription? Switch to annual to save up to 30%. Upgrading your Tiro plan gives you more recording time and additional features. How you upgrade depends on where you paid, so check the guide for your payment platform.What is a plan upgrade?
A plan upgrade means moving to a plan with more usage. For example, moving from the Lite plan to the Pro plan (formerly the Starter plan). By contrast, moving from monthly to annual isn’t a plan upgrade; it’s a billing cycle change. You keep the same plan and only the billing cycle changes, so the timing and the way you’re charged are different from an upgrade. See the guide for your payment platform below for details.Heads up How you change your plan depends on where you paid, so check the guide for your payment platform.
Stripe (web/desktop) plan change
How to upgrade (on desktop)- In the Tiro app or website, choose Settings > Manage Subscription.
- Click the Upgrade button for the plan you want.
- Click Update subscription in the Stripe billing screen.
- Choose the plan to update to and click Continue (you can choose the plan type and monthly/annual).
- Click Confirm on the confirmation screen.
- Open the My Subscription menu in the Tiro app.
- Click the Go to manage subscription button.
- You’re taken to the Stripe subscription management portal.
- The rest is the same as on desktop.
- Sign in to Tiro and go to Settings > Manage Subscription at the top left.
- Click the “Get started” button for the annual plan you want.
- On the screen where you choose monthly/annual, choose “Annual”.
- On the confirmation screen that appears, review the final effective date and the amount charged today, then continue.
Heads up For the actual switch date and the amount charged today, go by the Stripe confirmation screen that appears before you make the change.
How Stripe plan changes apply
For Stripe-based subscriptions, depending on what you change, the change either applies right away or is scheduled for the day your current billing cycle ends. You can review the final effective date and the amount charged today on the Stripe confirmation screen that appears before you make the change. 1) Applies right away, with the difference charged immediately Changes that mean you’ll pay more than before, such as moving up to a more expensive, higher plan, apply immediately, and the prorated difference for the remaining time is charged on the spot.- Rather than ‘canceling and restarting’ your current plan, you keep your current billing cycle and pay only the difference.
- It credits the unused portion of your existing plan, charges for the remaining time on the new plan, then bills only that difference immediately.
- So the amount charged immediately depends on how much time is left until your next billing date. It’s larger early in the cycle and smaller the closer you are to the next billing date.
- The minutes you’ve already used this billing cycle are subtracted from the new plan’s limit, and the rest is available immediately.
- Available usage = “new plan’s limit − minutes already used this cycle”. (Your billing cycle stays the same, so usage isn’t reset to zero.)
- Moving to a cheaper (lower) plan
- Reducing the number of team seats
- A monthly → annual change, where the annual price works out lower over the long run than your current monthly price
Note For whether a change applies right away or is scheduled for the next cycle, and how much is charged today, go by the Stripe confirmation screen that appears before you make the change. Contact support with any questions.

Changing the billing cycle for in-app purchases (monthly → annual)

Roles, permissions, and billing
A Tiro workspace has four roles, and whether a role is billed on the team plan depends on the role.Billed roles
Admin
Permissions An admin can use all of Tiro’s features plus workspace management. They hold every permission, from recording, editing, summarizing, and document generation to people management and settings changes. The user who creates a workspace is automatically given the Admin role. Billing An admin uses one team plan seat and is billed $29 per month.Member
Permissions A Member can view notes and use all of Tiro’s features. They can start recordings, edit notes, summarize, and generate documents, but can’t use workspace management features like inviting people or changing roles. Billing A Member uses one team plan seat and is billed $29 per month.Roles that aren’t billed
Unpaid Admin
Permissions An unpaid admin can view notes and use workspace management features. They can invite and remove people, change roles, manage settings, and view notes they’re invited to. However, they can’t use Tiro’s core features like recording, summarizing, and document generation. Billing An unpaid admin doesn’t use a team plan seat and isn’t billed.Viewer
Permissions A viewer can only view notes in the workspace. They can’t use recording, editing, or workspace management features. Billing A viewer doesn’t use a team plan seat and isn’t billed.Billing example
Admin and Member each use a paid seat at $29 per month. Unpaid Admin and Viewer aren’t billed. For example, a team of 2 Admins, 3 Members, 1 Unpaid Admin, and 5 Viewers has 5 paid seats in total (2 Admins + 3 Members), for a monthly fee of $145 (5 × $29).Changing roles
A workspace Admin or Unpaid Admin can change someone’s role in settings. How to change a role [Settings > Workspace settings > Members > Member list] How billing is handled when a role changes Changing from an unbilled role (Viewer, Unpaid Admin) to a billed role (Member, Admin) is prorated from the moment of the change through your next billing date, and that amount is added to your next regular invoice. Nothing is charged at the moment you make the change. Conversely, changing from a billed role to an unbilled role leaves the current period you already paid for unchanged, and the reduced headcount applies from your next billing date. There is no refund or credit for the remaining period.How it’s calculated Charge or refund amount = $29 × (days remaining until next billing ÷ days in the billing cycle)Changes between billed roles (Admin ↔ Member) or between unbilled roles (Viewer ↔ Unpaid Admin) don’t affect billing.
Add and remove team members
How team plan billing basically works
Team plan pricing is based on the number of accounts (seats). You’re charged for each user on the team, but the features available differ by role (see “Roles, permissions, and billing” above). Pricing structure- Base rate: $29/month per account
- Unlimited usage time
- All collaboration features included
- Charged to the team owner’s payment method

- When they accept, they’re registered as a team member right away
Example 2: annual plan
Note When you invite another team member, the fee is calculated by days used from the moment they accept, and that amount is added to your next regular invoice. It is not charged separately on acceptance.
Remove team members

- Removing someone: January 15 (16 days remaining)
- Members removed: 1
Important Even if you remove someone on January 15, there is no refund or credit for the remaining 16 days of January. The January charge already made stays as it is, and the reduced headcount is reflected from the February 1 charge.
