Organization Settings
Organization Settings is the Azure DevOps billing hub for Spec Kit subscription, seats, users, license keys, and AI credit budgets.
How to open it
- In Azure DevOps, open Organization settings (organization-level settings, not project settings).
- In the left menu, select Raaghu Spec Kit.
Only organization administrators can open this hub. Non-admins see a locked message.
Tabs: Subscription, Users, License Keys, Credits, and Usage.
This hub is separate from the in-extension Settings dialog (hamburger menu), which is used for AI keys and command labels. The Settings dialog also has a tab named Organization Settings — that tab is only for shared AI credentials, not billing.
Subscription
The Subscription tab manages your plan and billing. Raaghu Spec Kit is the Professional Plan at $9 per seat / month (USD).
Getting started (not subscribed yet)
Eligible new organizations see a Choose Your Plan screen (tenant admins only, when the org is trial-eligible):
- Select Free Trial or Paid.
- For Free Trial — review the order summary (Up to 5 seats, 7-day trial, $0.00), then click Start Free Trial. No credit card is required.
- For Paid — set seats with − / +, then click Subscribe Now and complete Stripe checkout. If you have a promotion code, enter it on the checkout page.
- Assign seats to team members on the Users tab.
If the organization is not trial-eligible (for example, it already used a trial or had a prior license), the tab shows the paid-only path: choose seats, then Subscribe for $…/month. You can also activate a key on License Keys instead of Stripe checkout.
After the trial ends, keep access by completing paid checkout here, or by activating a key on License Keys.
Promotion code
At Stripe checkout, you can enter a promotion code if one was issued to you. The discount appears in the order summary before you pay (you can remove the code if needed).
Once subscribed (paid, trial, or license key), the tab shows plan status (Active, Past due, Canceled, Canceling, and similar) and these actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Adjust Seats | Add or remove seats. Increases apply right away; decreases are scheduled for the next billing period (use Undo seat change if needed). During a free trial, adding seats is free until the trial ends. |
| Top up Credits | Add hosted-AI balance ($10, $25, $50, $100, or a custom amount between $5 and $10,000). |
| Manage Billings | Open the Stripe portal for invoices and payment methods. During a free trial, this action is framed as upgrading to a paid plan when you are ready. |
| Cancel subscription / Undo cancellation | Cancel schedules end-of-period termination. While status is Canceling, click Undo cancellation to keep the plan. Cancel is hidden while the organization is on a free trial. |
You also see seats purchased / assigned / available and AI credit balance vs spend.
- Paid (card billing): Billing summary shows billing cycle, next payment date, and monthly total. Plan badge: Paid.
- Free trial: Plan badge shows Free trial. The summary panel is Trial summary (plan, Trial ends on, seats) instead of next payment / monthly total.
- License key: Plan badge shows License key instead of Paid, and Billing summary shows only Expires on.
Adjust Seats
Use − / + to change the seat count, review the price breakdown, then confirm. You cannot go below the number of seats already assigned — unassign users on the Users tab first.
Top up Credits
Choose a preset amount ($10, $25, $50, $100) or enter a custom amount, then proceed to payment.
Manage Billings
Opens the Stripe customer portal for payment methods, invoices, and subscription details.
Users
The Users tab is where you give approved users a seat.
Three stats show Seats purchased, Seats assigned, and Seats available. Search by name or email, then:
- Assigned — members who currently have a seat (you can Unassign)
- Available to assign — members you can give a seat (Assign seat)
Approving an access request is not enough. Each user also needs an assigned seat before they can use the hub.
Important: Members need an assigned seat to use Spec Kit — even when the organization is subscribed, on trial, or using a license key.
License Keys
Redeem a standalone key issued to your organization — no Stripe checkout required.
Activate a key
- Open License Keys.
- Enter the key (format
RAAGHU-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). - Click ACTIVATE KEY — Spec Kit validates first and shows a preview (plan, type, validity).
- Click Confirm & activate to redeem, or Cancel to go back without activating.
Keys on this account lists active entitlements with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Plan | Plan tier and seat count (e.g. SpecKit · 1 seats) |
| Status | Active, Expiring (≤30 days left), or Expired |
| Expires | Relative expiry (e.g. in 30 days) or the end date |
After activation, billing method becomes License key. On Subscription, the plan badge shows License key, and Billing summary shows only Expires on.
Credits
The Credits tab controls AI credit spending. You can:
- View AI Credit Balance, Spent this period, and Active caps
- Add budget cap for the organization, a project, or a user in a project (Monthly or Lifetime)
- Edit or Remove existing caps
Top-ups are done on the Subscription tab. Caps are managed here.
Usage
The Usage tab shows organization-wide hosted AI spend for a date range you select (default last 30 days), including breakdown by project. Members see their own spend under My Usage.
