Upgrading
Go to Dashboard → Settings → Subscription and click Upgrade. You'll be redirected to Stripe's secure checkout. After payment, your tier is updated immediately.
Annual vs. monthly billing
Both Indie and Pro are available monthly or annually. The annual plan saves approximately 20% compared to 12 months of monthly billing.
What happens if you downgrade
Your data is never deleted when you downgrade. If you exceed the Free tier limits, you move to read-only on affected features until you upgrade again or reduce usage within the limits.
