# Billing and Subscriptions

Are.na is a platform that is 100% community owned and supported. For more detail, see our [Roadmap page](https://www.are.na/about#roadmap).

There are three tiers of Are.na membership:

* **Guest (free)** – limited to 200 [Connections](/docs/getting-started/connections.md), useful for trying the platform out and getting a feel for it
* **Premium** – unlimited connections, and additional [Premium features](/docs/getting-started/premium-features.md) like reader mode and table view
* **Supporter** – for those who want to contribute a little extra towards the improvement of Are.na, everything in the premium tier plus a free [Are.na Annual](https://www.are.na/editorial/introducing-the-are-na-annual-2024), access to bi-annual investor reports and early access to new features.

You can upgrade and manage all of your billing details on the [billing page](https://www.are.na/billing).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.are.na/docs/account/billing-and-subscriptions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
