Go to **Subscription** in the sidebar to view your current plan and make changes. *** ## Upgrading Upgrades take effect **immediately**. When you upgrade: 1. Go to **Subscription → Upgrade**. 2. Select the plan and billing period (monthly or yearly). 3. Complete payment. Your new plan limits and features are available as soon as the payment processes. If you're mid-cycle on a lower plan, the upgrade is applied immediately without waiting for your current period to end. *** ## Downgrading Downgrades are **scheduled** — your current plan remains active until the end of the current billing period, then the lower plan takes effect. To downgrade: 1. Go to **Subscription**. 2. Click **Change plan** and select a lower plan. 3. Confirm the downgrade. A confirmation shows the date when the downgrade takes effect. You retain all current plan features until that date. ### What happens to your data on downgrade | Scenario | Behaviour | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | You have more forms than the lower plan allows | Existing forms are preserved but you cannot create new ones until you're within the limit | | You have more responses than the new retention period covers | Older responses outside the new retention window are deleted after a grace period | | Features locked on the lower plan (e.g. conditional logic) | Existing conditional logic remains in published versions but cannot be edited until you upgrade | *** ## Switching billing period You can switch between monthly and yearly at any time from the **Subscription** page. Switching to yearly takes effect at your next renewal date — you won't be charged again until then, at the new yearly rate. *** ## Auto-renewal Auto-renewal is on by default for all paid plans. To manage it: 1. Go to **Subscription**. 2. Click **Manage auto-renewal**. 3. You can turn auto-renewal off (your plan runs until the current period ends, then reverts to Free) or back on. *** ## Updating your payment method Click **Update payment method** on the Subscription page. You'll be directed to the payment provider's secure portal to update your card or payment details. *** ## Cancellation Cancelling means turning off auto-renewal. Your current plan stays active until the end of the paid period. There are no partial refunds for unused time. If you need a refund for a genuine billing error, contact [support@feedal.com](mailto:support@feedal.com). *** ## Next steps Compare what each plan includes. View past payments and receipts.
