When does it take effect?


An upgrade takes effect straight away. You pay the price difference now, then the full new price from your next renewal.


A downgrade takes effect at your next billing date, so you keep your current features until then. You aren't charged anything when you make the change.


You can switch from monthly to annual billing when you change plan. Moving up takes effect straight away; moving down takes effect at your next billing date. Switching from annual to monthly is only possible at the end of your current billing period.


If you're on a free trial


Changing to a lower plan during a trial ends the trial and starts billing your new plan straight away.


What happens to your projects when you downgrade


Projects your new plan doesn't support are archived, not deleted. So is anything over your new plan's project limit, keeping your newest projects live. You'll see the list before you confirm.


  • Archived projects don't count towards your project limit.
  • You can restore them if you upgrade again. See How to archive your projects.
  • Projects deployed from GitHub lose their GitHub connection when they're archived.


Cancelling or moving to the free plan?


Those work differently. See How to cancel your subscription or How to switch to a free account.
