Your PorchQ balance

Available

$50.00

Purchased funds

$40.00

Promotional credit

$10.00

Start at $0. Add funds only when you choose.

Simple by design

From free account to paid usage in 3 clear steps.

  1. Start free

    Create a free account and start the same day: answers from your governing documents, drafts for your team to approve, and summaries of pasted minutes. No subscription, no monthly fee, no card to start.

  2. Add funds when you want

    Put a dollar balance into PorchQ whenever you are ready to use metered services.

  3. Use as much or as little as you need

    Usage draws from your balance. Add more manually or enable optional auto-reload.

Real dollars, clearly separated

A balance you can understand at a glance.

Add funds when you are ready. PorchQ keeps purchased funds and promotional credits distinct, then shows every debit in exact dollar amounts.

  • Add $50 and see a $50.00 purchased balance—never points or a hidden exchange rate.
  • Keep control manually or enable optional auto-reload with your own threshold and amount.
  • Set a low-balance alert and a hard monthly cap without creating a subscription.

Before paid work begins

PorchQ checks the current rate, available balance, permissions, and your spend cap on the server.

  • Insufficient balance stops the paid operation before provider cost is incurred.
  • Every usage debit is recorded once in an append-only, auditable ledger.
  • Payment failure pauses paid work while your account and existing data remain available.
