ClearView Flex PAYG gives you the power of ClearView Flex, combined with the flexibility to pay for usage on-demand only when you need it.

Credits can be purchased as either **‘Weekly’** or **‘Monthly’** giving you either 7 days or 30 days of continuous usage. You then need to choose from either [‘Starter’ or ‘Pro’](https://help.sohonet.com/en/articles/104541-plan-types) features depending on your use case.

For up to date pricing information, please visit the [Sohonet website](/content/solutions/real-time-collaboration/clearviewflex/#pricing/index.html).

All [purchased credits](https://help.sohonet.com/en/articles/104570-buying-credits) will show up on your _Credits_ page, accessed from the main menu:

Each credit has a status:

- **Inactive**: credit has been purchased and is ready to use.
- **Active**: credit is currently active on your Flexbox.
- **Scheduled**: credit has been scheduled to start in the future.
- **Expired**: credit has been used.

Active and scheduled credits will display the Flexbox they have been applied to, plus the exact start and end time for your credit.

## Demo mode

Flexboxes on a ClearView Flex PAYG account that don’t have an active credit will be in demo mode. In demo mode, you are able to start a session and invite attendees, but the session will end automatically after five minutes.

During a session, the Presenter will see a banner with the remaining time left for the demo:

Attendees will see a persistent banner indicating that the app is in demo mode:
