    $149 a store a month on the store plan, billed yearly, or $179 month to month, cancel anytime: tracking, renewal monitoring, alerts, your document vault, Odelia, and the renewals she files on her own. Each new license is $149, or $999 for a liquor license, building plan review or an import permit, charged when the license is approved. If it's turned down because of a mistake on our side, you pay nothing. Turned down for another reason, such as zoning or information it was given, it's charged too. A renewal the plan doesn't include is $99. With 10 or more stores on the plan, every new license is included. Your plan preview is free. Government fees are paid at cost, by you directly to each agency. See pricing

    Usually each franchisee pays for its own locations, and headquarters makes Odelia the required compliance system in the franchise agreement. A brand can also pay for every store itself.

    Every license, permit and registration your store needs, from federal to city, in the order they run, with timelines and estimated agency fees. It's ready in minutes and costs nothing.

    We keep it compliant. Renewal dates, inspections and rule changes are tracked for every location, and the policy monitor tells you what each change means for your stores and what to do next.

    Odelia, Placetta's AI agent, prepares each application from your documents. You review and approve it, then Odelia files it and follows up until the agency decides. When an agency needs a person, in person or on the phone, our team steps in.

    Odelia reads the agency's reason, corrects the application with you and resubmits it, and our team steps in when the agency needs a person. Nothing is filed without your approval.

    Fees are non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund or under a guarantee bought before October 2026, as our terms say. You can turn auto-renew off at any time in Settings, Billing; the plan ends with your current billing period and you keep the service until then. Questions about a charge: email support@placetta.com.
