Plans, Credits, and Billing

Q: Does re-importing an Ableton .als file use a credit?

No — re-importing a .als to sync section edits back from Ableton is an import, not an analysis, so it doesn't cost an auto-analyze credit. You can ignore any out-of-credits warning on that step.

Q: How do I cancel or change my Pliris subscription?

Click your avatar in the top-right corner, select Subscription from the dropdown, then click Manage billing — updating payment, changing plan, and canceling are all handled in the Stripe billing portal.

What the free tier includes, what a Pliris subscription unlocks, how analysis credits work, and where to manage your plan.

Pliris™ has two plans: a free tier that's genuinely useful, and a Pliris subscription that removes the caps and unlocks the pro tools. There's no trial to run out — the free tier is yours to keep for as long as you want it.

What the free tier includes

Sign up and you're on the free tier right away — no credit card. It's built to let you learn the workflow and run a small library end to end:

1 band, up to 10 members
15 songs total
3 auto-analyze credits per month
Auto-analyze extracts sections, tempo, beats, time signature, and stems automatically
Manual mode, always available — type your own BPM, add sections from Ableton, and upload your own stems
10 GB of storage
Export songs and full sets on the FS2S Intro template

Everything you need to build and run a real show. Uploading your own stems and the standalone LTC generator both work on the free tier — there's no subscription wall on core playback.

What Pliris All-Access unlocks

A Pliris subscription (All-Access) lifts every free-tier cap and turns on the full toolkit:

Unlimited bands, members, and songs
35 auto-analyze credits per month
Auto-analyze adds key, chords, and lyrics on top of sections, tempo, beats, time signature, and stems
1 TB of storage
All Set Builder templates — Intro, Standard, Pro, and Custom
Upload your own custom Ableton template
Full access to Playback Academy — masterclasses, guides, Coach, Ask, and member discounts

Auto-analyze credits

Auto-analyze is what turns raw stems into a programmed song automatically. Each run uses one credit.

Free accounts: 3 credits per month. Auto-analyze extracts sections, tempo, beats, time signature, and stems.
Paid accounts: 35 credits per month. Auto-analyze also extracts key, chords, and lyrics.

Manual mode is always available on any plan — type a BPM, add sections imported from Ableton, and upload your own stems, no credit required. A few more things worth knowing:

One credit covers one auto-analyze pass on a song.
Re-importing a .als to sync section edits back from Ableton is an import, not an analysis, so it does not cost a credit. Ignore any out-of-credits warning on that step.

Pro tip: Rename your stems before auto-analyze so Pliris routes each one to the right group. A clean pass the first time means you're not spending a second credit to fix a messy one.

Managing your subscription

Everything billing lives one click away:

Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
Select Subscription from the dropdown.
Review your current plan, renewal date, payment method, and invoices.
Click Manage billing to update payment, change plan, or cancel — all handled in the Stripe billing portal.

Which plan is right for you?

Just getting started, or running a small library? The free tier's 1 band, 15 songs, and Intro template may be all you need — and it's free to keep.
Running real shows — a bigger catalog, key/chords/lyrics from auto-analyze, the Standard/Pro/Custom Set Builder templates, and Playback Academy? That's a subscription. It removes every cap and unlocks the full toolkit in one move.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pliris free to use?

Yes — Pliris has a free tier you can sign up for without a credit card, and there's no trial to run out. It includes 1 band with up to 10 members, 15 songs, 3 auto-analyze credits per month, 10 GB of storage, and exports on the FS2S Intro template.

How many auto-analyze credits do I get each month?

Free accounts get 3 auto-analyze credits per month, and paid Pliris All-Access accounts get 35 per month. Each auto-analyze pass on a song uses one credit, and manual mode (typing a BPM, adding sections from Ableton, uploading your own stems) never costs a credit.

Does re-importing an Ableton .als file use a credit?

No — re-importing a .als to sync section edits back from Ableton is an import, not an analysis, so it doesn't cost an auto-analyze credit. You can ignore any out-of-credits warning on that step.

What does auto-analyze extract on a paid plan that the free tier doesn't?

On the free tier, auto-analyze extracts sections, tempo, beats, time signature, and stems. A Pliris subscription adds key, chords, and lyrics on top of those.

How do I cancel or change my Pliris subscription?

Click your avatar in the top-right corner, select Subscription from the dropdown, then click Manage billing — updating payment, changing plan, and canceling are all handled in the Stripe billing portal.
