The screen below is a static snapshot based on the real Kardive app. Buttons and controls are intentionally inactive on this marketing page.
Subscription confidence
Plan limits and Upgrade Prompts for serious Pokémon grading decisions.
Billing pages should make access state obvious. Kardive uses Stripe-hosted checkout and portal flows, while the app displays active, free, pro, yearly, monthly and cancel-at-period-end states clearly.
Decision example
Canceled at period end still means Pro until the end date.
The billing UI is written to show both facts: renewal is canceled, access remains active until the current period ends.

Access state
Always checked
Kardive subscription status controls Pro access, not what a button happens to show.

Taxes included
Public pricing and app billing use English tax-inclusive wording.
Limit UX
Infinity for Pro
Unlimited counters display as infinite instead of undefined.

Use cases
Where this helps in the real app
Upgrade to Pro
Start Checkout from billing, paywall or pricing CTA.
Manage subscription
Open Stripe Billing Portal for cancellation, payment method and invoice actions.
Understand limit state
Free and Pro counters clearly show limits or unlimited access.
Clear access tiers
Kardive separates public marketing pages, Free accounts and Pro accounts. Free can save limited workflows, while Pro unlocks unlimited or premium features.
- Signed-out marketing pages
- Free
- Pro
- Active subscription
Plan protection
Limits and Pro access are checked for calculations, scenarios, watchlist, alerts, portfolio, opportunities and exports, so the paywall cannot be bypassed by changing the screen.
- Calculation limit
- Scenario limit
- Watchlist limit
- Pro features
Contextual paywall UX
When a user reaches a limit or tries a Pro workflow, the app opens a reusable paywall modal with plan price and upgrade CTA instead of a generic error.
Calculator limit state
When a Free user reaches the calculation limit, the calculator is disabled for new calculations with reset information, while existing scenarios can still be reviewed or edited where allowed.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is Plan limits and Upgrade Prompts used for?
Plan limits and Upgrade Prompts helps users move from Pokémon card research to a concrete grading decision. Show clear limits for Free users and open contextual Pro paywalls when a workflow needs unlimited usage.
Does Plan limits and Upgrade Prompts use real Kardive data?

How is Plan limits and Upgrade Prompts different from a price tracker or spreadsheet?

The feature either feeds the calculator, explains a calculator result, saves a calculator scenario or brings the user back when a card needs a fresh ROI check.

Free and Pro access depends on the workflow. The public site sends people to login, while Kardive checks limits and Pro features inside the app.
