Refunds or charges
When you change your plan or billing cycle, you’ll gain or lose access to specific features. If you're downgrading your plan, you may lose essential features at the end of your current billing cycle. Review your plan’s features before changing plans.
Switching to monthly billing
If you switch from annual to monthly billing, you’ll start your new billing cycle at the end of your current term. You won’t be charged your new plan’s pricing until the start of your new monthly billing cycle. You’ll also have access to your current plan’s features until the start of your new billing cycle.
Switching to annual billing
If you switch from monthly to annual billing, you’ll start your new billing cycle immediately. You’ll be charged immediately for your new billing cycle. The invoice will be a prorated charge based on the cost of the unused time from the month subtracted from the cost of the annual plan.
Downgrading your plan
If you downgrade your plan, you’ll have access to your current plan’s features until the end of your current billing cycle. You’ll be charged your new plan’s pricing at the start of your new billing cycle. Your billing cycle and renewal date won’t change.
Upgrading your plan
If you upgrade your plan, you’ll be charged the prorated difference between the two plans based on the remaining time in your billing cycle. You’ll have immediate access to your new plan’s features. Your billing cycle and renewal date won’t change.
