How billing works
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. R5 is charged on PayFast's secure page to verify your card and is refunded straight away. When the trial ends you pay for the rest of that month, then your package's price on the 1st of every month. Your card is stored by PayFast and charged by Launchpad. There are no usage meters or surprise invoices. Cancel any time from your Billing page; your server keeps running until the end of the period you have paid for.
