Frequently asked questions

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Start on the Free plan and upgrade anytime.

What happens if I downgrade?

You keep access to existing clients. You won't be able to add new clients until you're back under the plan limit.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your billing settings.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes — upgrade whenever you're ready.

Do you have AI limits?

Yes. AI usage is subject to fair-use limits to keep ChefMate reliable for everyone. Heavy workflow runs may be rate-limited during high usage. If you hit a limit, some workflows may pause or be temporarily limited, but core app features remain available. If you need more capacity, you can upgrade your plan or contact support.
