# Billing & plans

> How RinkNotes is paid for — the club pays, parents never do.

## How billing works

* **The club pays.** RinkNotes is billed per team, to the club or coach — never to families.
* **Parents never pay.** A parent's only role is to consent and receive — there's no
  parent paywall, ever.
* **Start with a free trial.** New teams begin with a **7-day trial, no credit card required**
  ([activate your trial](/coaches/activate-trial)).
* **Agreement first.** Before a team goes active, an admin accepts a short **data processing
  agreement**.
* **Prices show in your currency.** Amounts display in **Canadian dollars** by default, or
  **US dollars** based on your location.

## Plans

Pricing is **per team, per season** unless noted. Every active team gets the full product —
plans differ in packaging and volume, not features.

## Paying for a team

The **Team** plan is self-serve: the head coach activates the trial, then subscribes online
from **Settings → Billing** (secure checkout via Stripe). From the same place a head coach can
manage or cancel the subscription later.

For **Program**, **event**, **Club**, or **Pilot** plans, get in touch and we'll set you up.

<Card title="Talk to us about a plan" icon="envelope" href="mailto:hello@rinknotes.com">
  Tell us about your club — number of teams and roughly how many players — and we'll recommend
  the right plan.
</Card>

<Note>
  Only a **head coach** manages billing for a team. Other staff see the team's status but can't
  change the plan.
