# I Thought the Charge Would Be Daily or Monthly — Why Was It Taken All at Once?

We understand this can feel surprising. Many customers initially expect to be charged a small daily or monthly amount, then become concerned when they see the full subscription amount processed at once.

## 💳 How Billing Works
Control+ subscriptions are billed **upfront for the full selected subscription period**. This means your payment is processed as one complete charge at the beginning of your plan — not split into smaller daily or monthly amounts.
Advertisements or pricing pages may sometimes show:
* An estimated daily cost
* A monthly equivalent
This is simply a way to illustrate the value of the subscription over time. It does not mean payments are collected daily or monthly.

## 📱 How to Review Your Subscription
You can check your active subscription details anytime in the app:
1. Open the Control+ app and go to the **Profile** tab.
2. Tap **Subscription**.
There you can view your current plan, renewal date, and subscription status.

## 🍏 Apple & Google Play Purchases
If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, billing is managed directly by those platforms.
**Apple:**
1. Open **Settings** and tap your **Apple ID**.
2. Tap **Subscriptions** and find Control+.
**Google Play:**
1. Open the **Google Play Store** and tap your profile icon.
2. Tap **Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions**.

## 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Protection Charges
If you added Family Protection during setup, this may appear as a separate charge on your statement. Family Protection is a separate add-on that enables protection for additional family members under your account.
