This article provides tips on how to effectively manage your
CVAT subscriptions, including tracking expenses and canceling

Whether you’re a business owner or an individual,
you’ll learn how to take control of your subscriptions and manage them.
This section outlines the paid plans available on CVAT.ai.
Monthly plans
Name
Description
Solo
The Solo plan has a fixed price and is designed for personal use only.
It does not assume collaboration with team members and is not suitable for use within organizations, but it removes all other limitations of the Free plan.
Note: Although it allows the creation of an organization and access for up to 3 members – it is for trial purposes only! Organization and members will have all the limitations of the Free plan.
Team
The Team is for collaboration, it removes limitations of the Free plan for the whole organization, allowing you to share paid benefits with your colleagues.
The monthly payment for the plan depends on the number of team members you’ve added. All limits of the Free plan will be removed.
Note: The organization owner is also part of the team. So, if you have three annotators working, you’ll need to pay for 4 seats (3 annotators + 1 organization owner).
Annual plans
Whether you’re a new user, or have a subscription to Team or Solo plan, you can
subscribe to our annual plan
and save up to 30% on CVAT.ai usage costs.
The annual subscription offers all the benefits of our paid plans but at
a more affordable monthly rate.
