# Buy licences

_Billing · 3 min read · Updated 2026-10-21 · https://lanachat.ai/guides/buy-licences/_

A **licence** lets one Telegram account run on LanaChat for **30 days**. Every account Lana chats from needs one. You buy licences from your balance, they wait in your **stock**, and you give them to accounts whenever you want.

## Prices

| What you buy | Price | Per licence |
|---|---|---|
| Single licence (1 to 9) | $19 each | $19 |
| Pack of 10 | $170 | $17 |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 |
| Pack of 50 | $650 | $13 |

- Licences in stock **never expire**. The 30 days only start when you assign one to an account.
- There is no seat fee: your team members, creators and fans cost nothing extra.
- A new workspace gets **one free licence** at sign-up (it shows as "Welcome gift" in the stock history).

> Note: Example: 12 Telegram accounts. One pack of 10 ($170) plus 2 single licences ($38) = $208 a month, or $17.33 per account.

## Buy, step by step

1. Make sure your balance covers the price. If not, [top up](https://lanachat.ai/guides/top-up-your-balance/) first.
2. Open **Billing**, then the **Licences** tab. **Buy licences** is at the top.
3. Pick **Single licence** and set the number with **−** and **+** (1 to 9), or pick a pack of 10, 25 or 50. The pack of 10 is selected when you arrive.
4. Press **Buy · $170.00** (the button shows the total of your choice).
5. Confirm: "Buy 10 licences for $170.00 from your balance?" Press **Confirm**.

The licences go to your stock at once. The **In stock** counter goes up, a line appears in **Stock history**, and the purchase is a **Licences** line in [Activity](https://lanachat.ai/guides/activity-statements-and-details/).

> Tip: Going over 9 singles? The Console stops you at 9 and suggests a pack of 10, which is cheaper ($170 instead of $190).

## What the Console tells you

- **Not enough balance: $X missing. Top up**: the purchase would take more than your balance. The link opens Top up.
- **A pack of 10 is cheaper**: you picked 9 singles, which cost more than a pack of 10.
- Under the purchase block: **Active** (accounts running on a licence), **In stock** (licences waiting) and **Expiring within 7 days**.
