Billing & Account Management | Subscription and Card on File

Billing & account management is part of how AirScalp keeps your flight search and purchase workflow running smoothly. This page explains subscription billing cadence, how card on file and authorization work, and what happens when you update your account details. If you want to reduce payment friction during onboarding and keep your preferences active, this overview will help.

Quick answer: AirScalp uses a subscription model billed at $99 per year (beta pricing as stated). You provide your own API key, and you store a credit card on file so the system can run within your user defined parameters when a targeted price is found.

Trust commitments

When you connect automated price monitoring to ticket purchasing, you should know exactly what you are authorizing and what you can control. AirScalp is built to keep the billing and purchase flow predictable, so you can travel with fewer surprises.

  • Clear subscription billing: Your plan is billed annually at $99/year (beta pricing as stated).
  • User defined purchase rules: The system runs within the parameters you set, including when to act after a targeted price is found.
  • Account changes are supported: If you update your payment details or account settings, the platform uses the updated information for future billing and runs.

If you are using the beta, keep in mind that beta features may evolve. For the most current behavior around billing and automated purchasing, check the AirScalp FAQ and the AirScalp Refunds & Cancellations page.

Security and compliance

Card on file is used to support subscription billing and to enable automated purchasing within your configured parameters. Your payment experience should be straightforward, while the underlying handling of payment data is designed to follow modern security practices.

In practice, that means:

  • Authorization for recurring billing: Your card is stored on file so the annual subscription can be charged without manual steps each cycle.
  • Controlled automation: Automated ticket purchasing only proceeds when a targeted price is found and your rules allow it.
  • Account ownership: You manage access to your account and can update billing details as needed.

What is AI-powered flight monitoring and automated ticket purchasing?

AirScalp uses an AI tool that constantly monitors flight prices. You set a target price and define the conditions under which you want the system to act. When a targeted price is found, AirScalp can purchase the ticket for you.

Here is the concept in plain terms:

  • Monitoring: The system constantly monitors flight prices for the options you are tracking.
  • Trigger: When a targeted price is found, it evaluates whether the conditions you set are satisfied.
  • Automation: If your parameters allow it, purchases the ticket for you.

Because this is automation, billing and account status matter. If your subscription is active and your card on file is valid, the system can run as intended. If billing fails or your account details change, it may affect future runs.

Proof assets and onboarding details
