  2. Locate your current plan details and click Change plan
  3. Select the new plan tier and confirm

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
Downgrade (to a cheaper plan) or same-cost plan
  • No immediate charge
  • Plan settings update right away, but the new pricing takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle
During free trial
  • No charge regardless of plan change
  • New plan settings apply immediately
  • Billing starts normally when the trial ends

Billing Cycle

  1. A new account starts on a 30-day free trial
  2. When the trial expires, an invoice is generated and Stripe charges the stored payment method automatically
  3. On successful payment → subscription activates for the next period
  4. 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:
  1. Navigate to Settings → Business settings → Plan
  2. Click Cancel Subscription
The Cancel Subscription option is only visible if you have active payment information added. After cancellation, your service continues until the end of the current billing period, after which it stops.
