# Billing and Usage for Managed Allspice Instances

## Introduction

An Instance Manager is responsible for managing licensing and usage for your Allspice managed instance. In managed deployments and trials, Allspice operates and maintains the underlying infrastructure, while Owners use the Billing portal to review subscription status and track licensed usage.

This documentation provides a high-level overview of what's available in Allspice managed instances.

If you have other questions about billing, please visit our [Billing and Usage for Managed Allspice Instances](/docs/allspice-accounts) documentation.

## Accessing Billing

The Billing portal is accessible only to users with Owner privileges. It provides centralized access to billing, licensing, and usage information for your Allspice managed instance.

To access the Instance Manager, sign in to your Allspice instance, click your avatar in the top-right corner of the interface, and select **Billing** from the dropdown menu.
