Upgrade or downgrade your plan

The account owner changes plan under Settings → Billing → Subscription: Change plan (or View plans on a trial or the Free plan) opens the Available Plans grid, which opens on the billing cycle you already pay (monthly or annual). Upgrades start immediately, and the prorated difference for the rest of the period is added to your next invoice. Downgrades are scheduled for the end of the billing period, so you keep what you paid for. A downgrade isn't blocked if you are over the smaller plan's limits: the confirmation warns you, and extra locations are still billed until you remove them. Any custom allowance or price FrontDesk set for you ends when you change plan tier. To go to Free, cancel the subscription.

Plans scale with you: upgrade when you outgrow one, drop back down if a season slows. Changes are self-service. Only the account owner can change the plan; other team members see "Only the account owner can change the plan or payment method."

How to change plans

  1. Open Settings → Billing → Subscription.
  2. Click Change plan under the plan card (View plans on a trial or the Free plan) to open Available Plans. All paid plans are billed per location.
  3. The Monthly / Annual toggle opens on the cycle you already pay (Annual shows Save 17%).
  4. Click Upgrade or Downgrade on the plan you want. Enterprise shows Talk to Sales, which opens a short form (Send to sales).
  5. Read the confirmation and click Confirm Upgrade or Confirm Downgrade.

On a trial or the Free plan, choosing a plan goes straight to checkout.

Upgrades activate immediately: "You'll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of this billing period", added to your next invoice, and new limits and features are available right away.

Downgrades are scheduled: your current plan stays active until the end of the billing period and the new plan takes effect on that date. The plan card shows Plan change scheduled and "Switches to Pro on [date]. You keep Elite until then.", with a Keep Elite link to cancel the change.

Plan tiers at a glance

TierBest forKey limits
FreeAfter cancelling1 location, 2 users. 15 AI minutes and 100 texts a month, hard-capped with no overage.
ProSmall practices1 location, 5 users, full AI + integrations
EliteGrowing groups3 locations, 15 users, priority support
EnterpriseMulti-site & customUnlimited locations & users, custom SLAs

See Usage and overages for each plan's monthly allowances and prices.

Downgrading when you're over the limits

A downgrade is not blocked. If you use more than the smaller plan allows, the confirmation shows Important warnings, for example "You have 3 locations, but Pro only supports 1. You'll need to remove 2 location(s)." Your bill is per location, so every location is still billed until you remove it.

Custom allowances and prices

If FrontDesk set a custom allowance or price for your account, it ends when you change plan tier, including a downgrade when it takes effect. The new plan starts with its standard allowances. Switching between monthly and annual on the same plan keeps them.

What you can't do via self-service

  • Custom enterprise plans: talk to sales
  • Pause and resume: there's no pause button; contact support if you need a hold
  • Move to Free: cancel instead; see Cancel your subscription. The Downgrade button on the Free tile opens an email to support.

Limits enforcement

Plan limits are checked at the action that would exceed them:

  • Team members: an invite past the limit is refused with "Team limit reached", the number your plan allows, and "Please upgrade to add more."
  • Locations: adding one past the limit opens Location Limit Reached with Upgrade Plan; see Add a new location
  • Minutes / texts: on Pro and Elite, usage past the allowance is billed at per-unit rates (see Usage and overages). A trial stops at its allowance, and so does a paid account whose overage billing is switched off, unless the owner lifts that allowance for the cycle.

What's next

Frequently asked questions

Will I be charged immediately when upgrading?
No. The new plan starts right away, and the prorated difference for the rest of the current billing period is added to your next invoice. The full new rate applies from your next renewal date.
When does a downgrade take effect?
At the end of your current billing period. You keep all the features and limits of your current plan until then, with no refund or credit for unused time. The plan card shows "Plan change scheduled" with the date, and a Keep link to cancel the change.
Can I always downgrade?
Yes, but check the warnings first. If you have more locations than the smaller plan allows, the confirmation says how many you'd need to remove. The downgrade still goes ahead, and every location stays on your bill until you remove it.
What about annual plans?
Annual subscriptions can upgrade anytime (prorated). Downgrades happen at the end of the paid year. The plan grid opens on the cycle you already pay, so an annual customer upgrading stays annual; switch the Monthly/Annual toggle to change cycle while choosing a new plan. Your current plan's tile shows Current Plan whichever cycle the toggle is on, so the grid can't change only the billing cycle of the plan you already have; contact support for that.
I had a custom allowance or price. What happens when I change plan?
Custom allowances and prices that FrontDesk set up for your account belong to the plan they were agreed on, so they end when you move to a different plan tier. The new plan starts with its standard allowances. Contact us if you need them again.
How do I move to the Free plan?
Cancel the subscription. The Downgrade button on the Free tile only opens an email to support. See Cancel your subscription.
