# Plan level

A plan level is your account's position on the ordered scale of Fincanva's paid plans, and it is what the plan card in **Settings → Billing** reports next to your plan name: `Level {rank} of {total}`. The scale runs Starter, Advanced, Ultimate — three levels, so `{total}` reads 3 — and `{rank}` is where your held plan sits on it: Starter is level 1, Advanced level 2, Ultimate level 3. **Free is not on this scale at all** — it sits at level 0, and the app treats that as *unheld*, not as a missing or broken value.

**Also seen as:** plan rank

## Which plans are on the scale, and which are not?

Only the three plans you can hold through checkout are on it: **Starter** (level 1), **Advanced** (level 2), and **Ultimate** (level 3), so `{total}` is 3. Two plans sit outside it, for different reasons:

- **Free is level 0.** It is the account you have before subscribing to anything, so the scale still applies to it — it is simply unheld. The plan card still shows the indicator for a Free account, at level 0 of 3.
- **Professional does not appear on the scale at all.** It is not sold through checkout — [what each plan includes](/docs/account-security/what-each-plan-includes) covers how it is reached — so the plan card shows no level indicator for it: not level 4 of 3, no indicator. A Professional subscriber's card reads **Custom** instead of a level.

## Is this the same as the five plans listed on "what each plan includes"?

It is the same ordering, seen from two different widths. [What each plan includes](/docs/account-security/what-each-plan-includes) describes Fincanva's full plan ordering — Free, Starter, Advanced, Ultimate, Professional, five in ascending order of what each unlocks. The plan card's level scale is the narrower view drawn from the same order: it counts only the plans a held subscription can actually be, which is why its own total reads 3 rather than 5. Free is the floor of the wider order and Professional is its top, and neither is ever assigned as a *held* level on the card — which is exactly why the card's own scale starts at Starter and stops at Ultimate.

## Is this the same "level" as the one on Settings → Usage?

No — they answer different questions with the same word. This page's level is about your **subscription**: which of the three sellable plans it names, shown on the plan card. [What Settings → Usage tells you](/docs/account-security/what-settings-usage-tells-you) reads a different figure — the *capability* actually enforced on your account right now. The two agree for every account holding one of the three sellable plans, including throughout a [30-day trial](/docs/account-security/the-30-day-trial), which runs at the plan you chose rather than at a level of its own. They part company on **Professional**, which is a real enforced capability but not one of the three plans this scale counts: the plan card shows no level there at all, while Settings → Usage still counts what you hold against Professional's own ceilings, and only its plan comparison stays empty, because Professional is not a plan on sale. Neither page is wrong; they are naming two different things that happen to use the same word.

## How does Fincanva handle it?

- The plan card in **Settings → Billing** shows the level indicator next to your plan name whenever your account holds one of the three paid, checkout-sold plans, or is on Free (level 0). During a trial it shows the level of the plan you chose to trial, which is also the plan being enforced.
- A Professional (custom) account shows no level indicator at all — the figure the scale would answer does not apply to a plan with no published price.
- `{rank}` and `{total}` are read live from the plans Fincanva actually sells today; this page states the current scale rather than a number to remember, since a plan Fincanva adds or retires from checkout changes `{total}` without needing a new word for the concept.

## What does it look like in practice?

An account on **Advanced** opens **Settings → Billing** and sees its plan card read **Level 2 of 3** in English or **Livello 2 di 3** in Italian, beside the plan name: Advanced is the middle of the three sellable plans, one above Starter and one below Ultimate. An account on **Free** sees the same indicator read **Level 0 of 3** — no plan held yet, not an error. An account on **Professional** sees no level indicator at all, because Professional is not one of the three plans the scale counts. A Starter trialer sees **Level 1 of 3** on the plan card from the first day of the trial, and Starter's own limits are what the account runs under while the trial lasts — the same figures [what Settings → Usage tells you](/docs/account-security/what-settings-usage-tells-you) reports.
