Auth, Plans & Billing

Authentication, plan access, and billing determine which product surfaces are available. Some routes are public, but saving, publishing, broker data, model selection, deployment, and manual trading workflows require a signed-in account and may require a paid tier.

Sign in and signup

Astral supports:

• sign in,
• signup,
• passwordless flows,
• password reset,
• email/phone verification flows,
• Google sign-in where enabled,
• referral/tier-selection flows,
• waitlist status and enrollment routes.

After auth, Astral attempts to route you back to the requested page, such as Terminal or Checkout.

Verification

Verification flows can include one-time codes and phone verification depending on the feature. You can paste full codes into segmented code inputs where supported.

Phone verification can be required for SMS-enabled notification profiles or account-level settings.

Plans and feature gates

Feature gates affect access to:

• model selection,
• strategy save/publish/deploy limits,
• broker-connected workflows,
• manual trading surfaces,
• premium dashboard/account features,
• indicator and alert capabilities,
• subscription-only plan features.

When a gated feature is unavailable, Astral should show an upgrade or feature-limit modal with plan messaging.

Model availability

Model choices are tier-aware. Available model data is loaded from the app API and surfaced through the model selector. If a model is unavailable, check your plan and account state.

Checkout

Checkout initializes Stripe subscription checkout. Plan and price IDs are handled server-side. Checkout pages may redirect to Stripe or show initialization errors when the route cannot create a session.

If checkout fails:

1. return to plan selection,
2. confirm you are signed in,
3. retry checkout,
4. contact support if the failure persists.

Subscription changes

Subscription downgrades can affect access to broker deployment, premium features, and live strategy workflows. Some strategy/broker workflows may be undeployed automatically if the account no longer has the required entitlement.
