How Glade Billing Works: Weekly Charges and Month Close
How billing works in Glade
Glade bills your firm for the fees that your workflows accrue. The Billing Overview gives you a clear view of your billing schedule, upcoming charges, and invoice history so your team can reconcile those fees with confidence.
Weekly billing
Glade runs your regular billing charge each Friday. That weekly invoice collects the workflow fees that accrued since the previous weekly charge.
Weekly invoices are labeled with the Friday billing date, for example Week of Aug 7. Before a scheduled charge runs, you can review its line items from Settings > Billing > Overview. Each line item shows the related client, workflow, workflow type, and amount.
What the month-close invoice does
A Friday charge does not always land on the final day of a calendar month. Fees can still accrue after the last Friday and before month end.
Glade creates a separate period-close invoice at the end of the month to collect only those remaining fees. It closes the billing period from the last Friday through the end of the month, so every month is fully settled within that month.
It includes only fees accrued after the final weekly charge of the month.
It does not bill a fee that was already collected on a weekly invoice.
It is labeled as a period-close invoice in your billing history, making it easy to distinguish from a weekly invoice.
Example
If the final Friday charge occurs before the last day of the month, the Friday invoice collects fees through that Friday. Any fees that accrue between the next day and month end appear on the period-close invoice. The following Friday starts the next month’s normal weekly billing cycle.
Where to review charges and invoices
Go to Settings > Billing > Overview to see your current billing schedule and upcoming charges.
Select View all charges on an upcoming weekly charge to review the workflows included before it is billed.
Use billing history and invoices to review completed weekly and period-close invoices.
Questions about a charge?
Review the invoice and its line items first to see which client workflows accrued the fees. If anything still looks unexpected, contact Glade Support with the invoice date and workflow details so we can help reconcile it.
