Metro Plus

Price

Plus costs USD 4.99 per month, per Discord server. It is monthly only; tax may be added at checkout. The only free trial is one week per server, unlocked by the owner voting for Metro on top.gg (/plus trial). There is no yearly plan, no lifetime plan, and no Robux payment.

What Plus adds

• Government: offices, elections, laws, taxes, the treasury, council votes and recalls.
• Property: zones players rent.
• Businesses: shops players buy and run.
• Bounties paid from the treasury.
• Bankruptcy in banking.
• Crew territory and crew wars.
• Event seasons and the event calendar.
• Camera analytics, longer camera search and evidence export.
• Publishing templates to the public gallery.
• Workflows: up to 200, with Switch, Loop and schedule triggers.
• Higher limits, a faster server status card, and the option to hide the "Powered by Metro" line on public posts.
• Polling priority: when two servers are due to be read at the same moment, a Plus server goes first. The polling interval is the same on both plans.

Free vs Plus limits

Free keeps jobs, wallet, banking, cars, licences, ranks, perks, achievements, crime, jail, police tools, cameras, 911 dispatch, the CAD, staff tools, crews, races, hunts, double pay and treasure drops.

What a Free server sees

Running a Plus-only command on Free gets a card: the feature "is part of Metro Plus — $4.99/month per server; tax may be added at checkout. The server owner can upgrade." with an Upgrade button to the Billing page. On the dashboard, a Plus module switched on for a Free server shows "Saved, not running: needs Plus".

How to subscribe

1. The Discord server owner opens Dashboard > Billing (/g/<server id>/manage/billing). Nobody else can open Billing, and it cannot be given to a role.
2. Checkout asks for two confirmations: that Plus starts right away, which ends the 14-day right of withdrawal, and that the buyer is 18 or older or has a parent or guardian's permission.
3. Payment is by card through Stripe. The seller of record is Link, part of Stripe, which handles tax, receipts and payment support.
4. Plus starts as soon as checkout finishes.

Managing and cancelling

• The Billing page shows the plan, its status (Active, Past due, Cancelled or Grace period), when it renews or lapses, and where it came from.
• Use "Manage subscription" on the Billing page to cancel or change the card, or manage it at link.com.
• Cancelling stops the next payment. Plus stays on until the end of the period already paid for, then the server returns to Free.
• If a payment fails, the server keeps Plus for a 3-day grace period, then returns to Free. The dashboard shows "Payment failed" meanwhile.
• When a server returns to Free, Plus features switch off but their settings are kept, and they come back as they were on upgrade.
• Plus belongs to one Discord server. It does not move to another server, and removing and re-adding the bot does not reset it.

Refunds

Payments are not refunded, including for a partly used month, except where the law requires it. A purchase by someone under 18 without a parent or guardian's permission is refunded when Metro is told about it. Refund requests go to a person on the Metro team (see section 7).

Free ways to get Plus

• Referrals: each server has a referral link, https://metrobot.app/r/<code>, on the Grow page and in /advertise. When a new server adds Metro through it and keeps Metro for 14 days with at least 3 players seen, the referring server gets 30 days of Plus. The referred server must be new, cannot share an owner with yours, and counts once.
• Launch offer: the first 25 servers to finish setup get 30 days free (see section 2).
• Vote trial: a server that never had Plus gets 7 days free once, when its owner runs /plus trial and votes for Metro on top.gg with the button it shows.
• Founding servers: the Metro team gave the first servers 30 days by hand.
• Creator links: some invited creators share a link that gives their viewers a 20% off Plus code.

For founding, launch-offer and vote-trial days, the owner gets one reminder 3 days before they end. Free days never turn into a charge: nothing is charged unless the owner subscribes, and the server returns to Free with its Plus settings kept.
