# Understanding plans and label credits

### Plans at a glance

Label Wizard offers several plans. Names you may see in the app include:

- **Free** and **Standard** — include a pool of print credits
- **Pay As You Go** — usage is billed through Shopify each cycle
- **Unlimited** — uncapped label printing (no local credit balance)

Your current plan and usage appear in **Settings** and in the Print labels title area when you are on a metered plan.

### What counts as a label generation

Credits and usage are based on **how many labels you print**, not how many products you select or how many designs you save.

Example: if you print 3 labels for one product and 2 for another in the same run, that counts as **5** labels.

### Print credits (Free and Standard)

On Free and Standard plans, Label Wizard tracks a local **print credit** balance.

- Printing uses credits equal to the number of labels generated.
- If you do not have enough credits, the app shows an **Insufficient credits** message and asks you to upgrade or change your plan.
- When credits are low, the Dashboard may show **Running low on print credits**.

Creating and editing designs is separate from printing. Printing is what uses credits.

### Pay As You Go and Unlimited

- **Pay As You Go** meters label generations to Shopify. You may see **Label Generations this cycle** in the app.
- **Unlimited** does not use a local credit balance. Label printing is uncapped under that plan’s terms.

### Changing your plan

1. Open **Plans** (or **Change plan** from Settings).
2. Review **Current Plan** and available options.
3. Use **Manage your subscription** when Shopify billing applies to your plan.
