Pay for what you use.
The Companion is for people. The avatar SDK and the voice APIs are for companies, billed by use from one prepaid balance.

What it costs against the alternatives.
Billing questions, answered before checkout.
Who charges my card?
Paddle.com is our reseller and merchant of record. Your card statement shows Paddle, Paddle calculates and collects sales tax or VAT, and Paddle issues the receipt and the invoice.
Do prepaid credits expire?
Purchased top-up credit is valid for 12 months from purchase. Subscription credit is granted each billing period and expires at the end of it; unused subscription credit does not roll over. Trial credit expires after 30 days. Credit is not transferable between accounts and cannot be exchanged for cash, except as the refund policy describes.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, for unused credit. Ask within 14 days of a purchase and we refund the part you have not spent. A subscription payment can be refunded within 14 days if none of its credit was used. The full rules are in the refund and cancellation policy.
How do I cancel the Yoob SDK subscription?
In the console, under Billing, choose Cancel subscription, or use the link in any Paddle receipt. It stops renewing at the end of the current period. Until then you keep using your subscription credit; unused subscription credit expires when the period ends. Purchased top-up credit is not affected and stays valid for 12 months from purchase.
When does the subscription renew, and do you remind me?
The weekly plan renews every 7 days and the yearly plan every 365 days, at the price shown at checkout, until you cancel. We email a reminder before each yearly renewal, and before any price change.
What happens at zero balance in the middle of a session?
Without auto top-up, new sessions are refused until you top up, and a running session ends with an error code your app can handle. With auto top-up on, sessions keep running up to $5 below zero while your saved card is charged. A monthly spend cap stops sessions whatever your balance.
Can I get an invoice with my company details and VAT number?
Yes. Add your company name, address and VAT or tax ID at checkout, and Paddle issues the invoice. Enterprise customers can pay by bank transfer against an invoice.
Does the Companion cost money?
The demo and the Free plan cost nothing. Plus is $19 a month and renews monthly until you cancel. On iPhone, a subscription bought in the App Store is billed and refunded by Apple under Apple’s rules.
Not sure which lane you’re in?
If it’s for you, it’s the Companion and it’s free. If it ships inside something you sell, it’s the SDK or the voice APIs. If you’re somewhere between (a research project, a class, a game jam), email us and we’ll almost certainly just say yes.
