Quick BI:Quick BI Billing - China Site

Last Updated:Sep 03, 2026

When purchasing a Quick BI subscription for the China site from the international site, you can select the number of users and a subscription duration. As your subscription approaches its expiration date, the system automatically sends a renewal notification. This topic describes the billing for this type of subscription.

Quick BI is billed based on your user quota and subscription duration. Creating or viewing reports consumes your user quota. You can purchase user quotas as needed. For more information, see Purchase, upgrade, renewal, and overdue payments for Quick BI.

Important

An overdue payment may lead to instance suspension. The system sends reminders and notifications. To avoid service disruptions, renew your subscription promptly.

Background

Starting with Quick BI V6.0.3, you can use the same account on both the international site and the Chinese mainland site. You can also purchase services for the Chinese mainland site from the international site.

Edition Comparison

The China site currently offers the Personal Edition, Advanced Edition, Professional Edition, Role-based Edition (New Professional Edition), and AIPro Edition.
