Picking a plan is the second-fastest decision in nouz signup (after picking your country). Every plan ships the same product — Home, Revenue, Expenses, Products, Fixed Costs, P&L, Statistics. The only differences are how many locations you can run under one subscription and the annual revenue ceiling.
That structure is deliberate. We don't hide features behind tiers because we don't want you to outgrow nouz feature-by-feature. You outgrow it by getting bigger (more shops, more revenue) — and that's exactly what the plan tiers measure.
01 The three plans
Three plans, two caps each (locations + revenue). Feature set is identical.
02 How the caps work
The location cap is straightforward: a server-side check stops you adding past it. Try to add a 4th location on Growth, and nouz prompts you to upgrade to Pro before continuing — no form, no negotiation. Archive a location and the slot frees up immediately.
The revenue cap is on YTD gross revenue, measured from January 1st. Crossing 80% of the cap triggers a yellow warn banner at the top of every page. Crossing 100% blocks new revenue entries with an upgrade prompt — past entries still display, exports still work, the rest of nouz still works. Only the next save is blocked.
03 Which one to pick
- One shop, under €100k of yearly revenue? Starter is exactly right. Most cafés, small retail shops, single-chair salons fit here.
- One shop, between €100k and €500k? Growth — even though you don't need the extra locations, the cap is what bumps you up. A busy single-location café (€200-400k typical) lives here.
- Two or three shops? Growth, regardless of revenue. The location cap is the constraint, not the revenue cap.
- Four or five shops, or revenue above €500k? Pro.
When you're genuinely unsure, start on Starter. It's the cheapest, and upgrading mid-month is one click — Stripe prorates the difference. The 80% warn banner gives you weeks of warning before any cap actually hits, so you'll never get blocked unexpectedly mid-Saturday-evening rush.
04 Changing your mind
You can upgrade at any time — Stripe handles the proration and the new cap applies immediately. Downgrading is also one click, but it takes effect at the end of your current billing period (so you don't lose the days you already paid for).
If you grow into a higher tier mid-year (say, you cross €100k in October on Starter), the upgrade prompt fires when you cross 80% — so by the time you're close to the cap, you've had weeks to choose calmly rather than panic-upgrade. See Upgrading your plan for the full mechanics.
