What happens when you upgrade vs. downgrade

Action

What it means

Upgrading

You move to a plan with higher limits or more features. When you upgrade, the unused value from your current plan is automatically converted into extra days on your new subscription, based on the price difference between the two plans. Your new, higher limits become available as soon as the upgrade is confirmed.

Downgrading

You move to a plan with lower limits or fewer features. The change typically takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You are not refunded for the remaining time on your current billing period.

Important things to check before downgrading

1. Quota limits

If you switch to a plan with lower limits, make sure your usage fits within the new plan before the next billing cycle starts.

For example:

  • Reduce the number of projects if the new plan allows fewer.

  • Remove extra keywords that are not essential.

  • Check your team members and remove users who no longer need access.

If your usage is still above the limits of the new plan when the downgrade takes effect, some actions in your account may be restricted until you adjust your usage.

2. Feature availability

Some advanced features are only included in higher plans. When you downgrade:

  • Certain features may disappear from your account.

  • Existing workflows that rely on those features may no longer work as before.

Before confirming a downgrade, review the feature list for the new plan so you know what will remain available.
