Tariff/plan?

Hi, I am hesitating as to which to choose. The context is as follows:

"If the user has not entered the license key in the plugin settings, the Editor will be automatically launched on/under(?) the free plan/tariff/...(?) to familiarize the user with its features".

Thanks in advance
It seems to be poorly written - where did you find it?
This is my translation from Russian
OK.
the Editor will be automatically launched as the free version.
I am afraid I have to keep this word in the translation, because it is recurrent. For example, "Billing logic with a different set of features available at(?) different plans/rates/tariffs(?)"

or

"discount amount as % of the tariff(?) amount".

I am not a translator, but I would say that, in the context that you give, as the free version is an adverbial phrase that merely describes a restricted function that comes as a result of not paying.

"Billing logic, together with a different set of features, is available with different plans."

The person who wrote this seems adverse to mentioning "paying" or "price". This has made the examples seem deceptive. (Not a good marketing ploy.)

In fact, I would say
"Billing logic with a different set of features is available in paid-for versions."
There are cell phone plans for example, right? E.g., if you pay, say, 40 dollars, you get such and such set of features, if you pay, e.g. $60, you get more features/options. The same logic is here.
There are cell phone plans for example, right? ... The same logic is here.
Unfortunately, you have made the mistake of assuming that English follows an obvious and unchanging path of logic.

We might say ""This is a herd of cows" is correct, therefore "this is a herd of geese" must also be correct"1 The same logic is here applies." I hope you see why "logic" is only good if you apply the correct facts. 👁 Smile :)


Cell phone "plans" are "plans" because they involve recurring payments it is a "payment plan". If you buy the program outright, it is not a "plan". Also this use of "plan" is rather dated.

1it is a flock, gaggle, or skein of geese depending upon what the geese are doing.
This Editor is an online thing, you don't buy it, like MS Office, for example. And it also involves recurring payments
