FAQ
Billing & Payments
Will my current plan be affected by the new plans?

Are there transaction fees as well as monthly fees and overage fees?

Can I change plans at any time?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan from the app settings at any time.
What happens if I upgrade or downgrade mid-billing cycle?
The new plan you’ve selected will take effect on your next billing cycle. For the remainder of your current billing cycle, you will have access to all the new features and overages will be charged based on the new plan’s limit.
