How Plan Changes Are Billed
The billing behavior depends on the direction of the change and when it happens. Upgrade (to a more expensive plan)- Stripe charges immediately — the amount is the difference in minimum commitment between the old and new plans
- The new plan activates as soon as payment succeeds
- Usage already consumed in the current period carries over, so you are not double-charged
- No immediate charge
- Plan settings update right away, but the new pricing takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle
- No charge regardless of plan change
- New plan settings apply immediately
- Billing starts normally when the trial ends
Billing Cycle
- A new account starts on a 30-day free trial
- When the trial expires, an invoice is generated and Stripe charges the stored payment method automatically
- On successful payment → subscription activates for the next period
- On failed payment → verifications are disabled and the system retries at 1 day and 2 days after the initial failure
There is no proration — minimum commitments are always charged in full. If a payment is not confirmed within 30 minutes, the invoice is marked as failed. Contact support if an account is stuck in a payment-failed state.
How to Cancel (Unsubscribe)
You can stop your subscription at any time:- Navigate to Settings → Business settings → Plan
- Click Cancel Subscription
