Change your billing cycle

You can choose between a monthly or annual billing cycle when purchasing a subscription. If you have a monthly billing cycle, you can choose to switch to an annual billing cycle.

If you're on a monthly plan, you can switch to a yearly plan at any time. However, switching from a yearly to a monthly cycle isn't supported.

When you change your billing cycle:

  • Your next billing date reflects the new cycle. To find your next billing date, see View renewal date.
  • Your subscription's start date resets. For example, if the monthly subscription started on March 1 and ended on April 1, switching the billing duration on March 15, 2024, resets the new start date to March 15, 2024, with an end date of March 15, 2025.
  • Any unused portion of your monthly subscription is prorated and applied as credit toward an annual subscription. For example, if your monthly cost is $10 and you're used value is $5, when you switch to an annual cycle ($100), the final charge is $95 ($100-$5).
