Upgrading
- Go to Billing.
- Choose Starter or Pro, monthly or yearly, and complete the checkout.
- Your plan updates within seconds of the payment being confirmed.
Changing or cancelling
Use Billing → Manage subscription for everything after the first checkout: switching between Starter and Pro, switching between monthly and yearly, updating your card, and cancelling. It changes your existing subscription rather than starting a second one.
Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; the billing page shows the date. Until then you keep everything, and afterwards the account returns to Free. Nothing is deleted: your domains, history and settings are all still there if you subscribe again.
What happens on a downgrade
- More domains than the new plan allows: they all keep being monitored. You just cannot add more until you are under the limit.
- Alert thresholds: a domain keeps the number it was saved with until you edit it, at which point the Free plan's fixed 30 days applies.
- Webhooks, the API and CT monitoring: stop as soon as the plan changes.
If a payment fails
Nothing stops immediately. You get an e-mail, Billing shows a warning, and the charge is retried over the following days. Update your card under Manage subscription and a successful retry clears the warning by itself. Only if every retry fails does the subscription end and the account return to Free.
