Changing your plan

You can change your plan under Organization Settings > Subscriptions > Manage plan

During your free trial, you can switch between plans as many times as you wish. However, once you are on a paid plan you’ll need to upgrade or downgrade.

Upgrading your plan

The following changes are considered an upgrade:

  • From any monthly paid plan → any annual paid plan

  • From Free → any paid plan

  • From Premium monthly → Ultimate monthly

  • From Premium annual → Ultimate annual

You can always upgrade your plan at any time. Do keep in mind that:

  • Changes for an upgrade will take effect immediately, you will immediately be charged for the plan costs

  • Any previous payments will be prorated accordingly (see example below)

Example:

Note: Rates will differ based on the region you are in. The rates shown below are in USD, if you operate in a different region, you will be charged the rate applicable to your chosen region.

Deborah is on the Premium monthly plan ($2.99) with 10 users which runs from 1 June – 31 June. On 10 June. Johnny decides to upgrade to the Premium annual plan ($1.99) with 10 seats:

  • The price for the annual plan is 10 (users) x $1.99 x 12 months = $238.80 for the period of 10 June 2021 until 10 June 2022.

  • Johnny paid $25 for 10 users on the 1st of June. He used 10/31 days so his new bill will be discounted with (10/31) x $25 = $8.06

Deborah will pay ($238.80 – $8.06 =) $230.74 on 10 June to upgrade to the annual plan.

Downgrading your plan

The following changes are considered a downgrade:

  • From any annual paid plan → any monthly paid plan

  • From Ultimate (annual) to any Premium (monthly/annual)

  • From Ultimate (monthly) → Premium (monthly)

Any downgrade to FREE is considered a cancellation (see below)

If you wish to downgrade your plan, the changes will be scheduled to take place only at the end of your current billing cycle. No refunds are given and proration does not apply.

Example:

Ken is on the Premium annual plan ($1.99) with 10 users which runs from 10 June 2021 until 10 June 2022. On 10 February 2022, Ken decides to downgrade to Premium monthly.

  • The plan change is scheduled. This means that nothing changes until 10 June 2022

  • On 10 June 2022, Ken is automatically downgraded to the monthly plan:

    • He is charged 10 x $2.99

    • The billing period is from 10 June until 10 July, after which he’ll receive a new bill based on the number of users in his organization.

Cancelling your subscription

When you change from any paid plan to a free plan, it’s considered a cancellation of your paid subscription.

Once confirmed, you will lose all access to the paid plan features immediately. Make sure that when you cancel or downgrade to the free plan, you’re aware of the following potential changes.

Some settings might be lost and permanently deleted forever.
