Johnny is on the Premium monthly plan ($3.99) with 10 users and his billing cycle runs from 1 June 2023 – 31 June 2023. On the 10th of June 2023, Johnny decides to upgrade to the Premium annual plan ($2.49) with 10 seats:
-
The price for the annual plan is 10 (users) x $2.49 x 12 months = $298.80 for the period of 10 June 2023 until 10 June 2024.
-
Johnny has already paid $39.90 for 10 users on the 1st of June. In this scenario, he has used up 10 out of 31 days in the month, and hence his new bill will be discounted with (10/31) x $39.90 = $12.87
Johnny will pay a total of ($298.80 – $12.87 =) $285.93 on 10 June 2023 to upgrade to the Premium annual plan.
Downgrading your plan
The following changes are considered a downgrade:
-

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.

-
