Alerts and monitoring

FREN offers four types of subscription depending on your needs:

• Direct source alert: follow everything published by a specific source (a parliamentary chamber, a ministry, the BOE...). 100 credits/month.
• Initiative alert: follow a specific parliamentary initiative and get notified of every change of status (amendments, report, vote, publication). 100 credits/month.
• Public consultation alert: follow a project in hearing or public consultation and get notified of phase or deadline changes. 100 credits/month.
• Custom newsletter: a periodic email with everything relevant to the territories and topics you care about. Useful if you are monitoring several matters at once. 500 credits/month.

You can combine them freely: for example, a general newsletter + 2-3 specific alerts for the laws most critical to you.

Individual alerts (direct source, initiative or consultation) cost 100 credits per month. Custom newsletters cost between 500 and 5,000 credits per month depending on their scope, and allow multiple territories and topics in a single email.

Billing is recurring every 30 days from creation: we automatically deduct the monthly cost from your credit balance. It is not a Stripe subscription — it simply draws from the credits you already have.

When the monthly charge for an alert is due and there is not enough balance, the subscription is paused automatically — it is not deleted. This is what happens:

• You stop receiving notifications from that source / initiative / newsletter.
• We send you a grouped email listing all your subscriptions paused that day, with a link to top up credits.
• The subscription details (filters, topics, etc.) are kept intact in your account.
• Once you have a balance again, you can manually reactivate whichever ones you want from the alerts panel, without having to reconfigure them.

This way we do not lose your configuration even if you run out of credit for a while.

They are two complementary modes:

• Chat (Ask): when you have a specific question today and want an answer right away. Ad-hoc, on-demand research.
• Alerts (Anticipate): when you want to make sure you don't miss anything on a topic in the future. 24/7 monitoring without opening the tool.

Most professional users end up combining both: they use the chat to understand a topic in depth and, at the end, create an alert to stay up to date with future developments on that topic.
