Subscription

Purchasing a subscription allows players to support HabitRPG sustainably, and in return offers a number of benefits. The current individual plan costs $5 USD a month.

Initially, subscriptions were envisioned as a way to "escape the Gems mechanic" by enabling subscribers to buy gems with Gold Points (GP). The first subscription plan, which debuted January 25, 2014, includes this and several other features. It is likely that more subscriber benefits will become available in time.

Individual Subscription
The individual subscription option can be accessed under the Settings tab. It costs $5 USD, autorenewing every 30 days and gives several benefits:
 * Disables ads
 * Allows purchase of Gems with Gold (20 GP/gem, max. 25 gems/month). Gems are sold as a "Special Item" in the Market.
 * Retains full history entries (available for graphs and for export)
 * Doubles the daily drop-cap
 * Gives a limited-edition monthly item exclusive to subscribers (items do not increase stats)
 * Supports the developers.

Subscription Procedure
Individual subscriptions use online payment service Stripe for processing. Subscription requires an e-mail address and credit card details. Once the details have been entered and accepted by Stripe, the subscription page will show a red "Cancel subscription" button at the bottom of the page, allowing users to cancel their subscription at any time.

E-mail addresses are retained by HabitRPG, although only Tyler Renelle currently has access to them. Stripe will process each subsequent payment on the same day of the month as you signed up. If this isn't possible (e.g. in February when your autorenewal date is 31st), payment will be taken on the last day of the month.

The gold-to-gems cap renews on the 1st of the month, though there are plans to change this.

Future Plans
Currently, there are plans to create a subscriber badge for the user profiles of players with a subscription, and various possibilities for the Gems aspect of subscriptions are being discussed. Additional subscriber benefits being considered include:
 * Subscriber-only bonus features in the Mobile app
 * Integration of the HabitRPG interface with various popular services

Group Plans
Originally referred to as the Enterprise Edition, various types of group plans will soon join the individual subscription option. Currently, users may purchase the large-scale "Organization" plan, but family- and group-sized plans are also in development.
