Paying in stablecoins: one period at a time, never renewed without you

Most subscriptions are built to be forgotten. You hand over a card once, and the charge comes back every month until you notice. We didn't want Burokku to work that way, and paying in stablecoins made it easy not to: a stablecoin payment is something you send, so there's no card on file for us to charge.

This post goes through how paying for Burokku works: why it's stablecoins, why it's one period at a time, what you get without paying at all, and what happens when what you paid for runs out.

First, early access

While paid plans open, every account has everything. The limits on the pricing page are shown so you know where you'd land, but nothing is held back yet. You don't need to pay for anything to use Burokku today. What follows is how it works when you choose a plan.

Why stablecoins

Burokku is a tool for money that lives onchain, so paying for it from a wallet, in dollars you may already hold there, is the payment that fits. Here's what that looks like:

• Prices are in US dollars, and you pay them in USDC or USDT, on most chains.
• You pay on our payment partner's hosted checkout page. Burokku never sees your wallet.
• A plan starts once the full amount has arrived. Before your plan moves, we check the payment itself, never just a page saying it went through. If the full amount lands after the checkout page has expired, it still counts.
• Every payment is on record. Each one that goes through has a receipt you can print or save as a PDF, and is written to your account's audit log. How security works explains what that log keeps.

Card payments are coming. Until then, stablecoins are the way to pay.

One period at a time

You buy a month or a year. The plan runs to the end of what you paid, and then it stops. Nothing renews by itself, so you're never charged without choosing to pay.

A few things follow from building it this way:

• Paying early never loses days. Pay for another month before the current one ends, and it starts where the last one finishes.
• Switching plans keeps what you paid. Time left on your plan moves over as time on the new one, worth the same. Moving from Pro to Max with a month left gives you about ten days of Max on top of what you buy.
• A period ends on the same day next month or next year. Pay on the 31st, and a shorter month ends on its last day.
• Pressing pay twice doesn't make two orders. An open checkout for the same plan is used again for half an hour.

What you get on Free

Free is free for as long as you like, and every plan reads every chain and venue. Free includes:

• 3 accounts: wallets, exchanges and perps
• 5 price alerts
• 3 followed wallets
• 30 Burokku AI answers a month
• 1 workflow
• Burokku's swap fee of 0.85%, on top of what the route charges

What Free leaves out is watching while you're away. On Free, your wallets are read while you look, so portfolio alerts (on your net worth, a loan's health or money leaving a wallet) come with Pro and Max. See alerts for what they tell you.

Monthly or yearly

The two plans you can choose yourself each come either way, paid in one go:

• Pro, for a real portfolio: $16 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 once a year). It includes 15 accounts, 8 wallets watched while you're away, portfolio alerts and 100 price alerts, 1,000 Burokku AI answers a month, a tax report each year and a swap fee of 0.5%.
• Max, for active traders: $49 a month, or $39 a month billed yearly ($468 once a year). It includes 50 accounts, 20 wallets watched while you're away, 3,000 Burokku AI answers a month, 50 workflows and recurring buys, and a swap fee of 0.25%.

Yearly saves 25% on Pro and about 20% on Max. It's still one payment for one period: a year runs out the same way a month does, and nothing carries on after it without you.

Team and Enterprise are coming soon. Team, for a company or a fund, will be $199 a month or $169 billed yearly, with 5 seats, 50 shared accounts, roles and shared dashboards. Enterprise starts from $1,500 a month billed yearly, by invoice or in USDC. If either is what you need, talk to us.

When a period ends

A week before a paid plan ends, Burokku tells you once, in the app and by email if your account has one: your plan ends within a week, and nothing renews by itself. To keep it, pay for another month or year from Plan & billing in Settings.

If you don't, your account goes back to Free when the period ends. Nothing you've added is deleted. Free's limits apply to what you add next, and your wallets go back to being read while you look rather than while you're away. You can choose a plan again whenever you like, and it starts from the day you pay.

That's all there is to it: you choose when to pay and for how long, and Burokku never takes money you didn't send. Compare the plans side by side, or read why we built Burokku in the first place.
