# Change Plan

You can upgrade or downgrade anytime. Upgrades apply immediately. Downgrades apply next billing cycle.

### Before you change anything

Start by checking where you stand right now.

Use [View Plan](/billing/view-plan.md) to confirm your current plan details.

You’ll want to note:

* **Remaining listings** (what you can still create this cycle)
* **Rolled over listings** (unused listings carried forward)
* Your **next billing date**

When you’re ready to make the change, go to **Settings → Plan & Billing → Change Plan**:

* <https://app.fotello.co/dashboard/settings/subscription/change-plan>

{% hint style="info" %}
If you can’t see billing pages, you likely don’t have access.

Ask your account Owner to make plan changes.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**On a Partner plan?**

Partner plans have custom pricing and limits, so they’re managed for you by our team. Instead of the plan selector, you’ll see a **Your Partner plan is managed for you** message on the Change Plan page. Click **Chat with us** and we’ll make any changes for you.
{% endhint %}

***

### Upgrade your plan

Upgrading makes sense when you’re running low on listings, or you want more features.

#### Increase your monthly listing commitment

1. In the plan selector, choose a higher listing commitment.
2. Click **Confirm Plan Change** to confirm.

Your upgrade applies right away.

#### Upgrade to Ultimate

1. In the plan selector, choose one of the **Ultimate** plans.
2. Click **Confirm Plan Change** to confirm.

{% hint style="success" %}
Ultimate includes a lot more!

You typically get more included edits, plus included **Twilights** and **Staging**. See what’s included on each plan: <https://www.fotello.co/pricing>
{% endhint %}

#### Switch to yearly billing

Prefer to pay once a year instead of every month? Switch to yearly billing yourself from the plan selector.

1. At the top of the plan selector, find the **Monthly / Yearly** toggle.
2. Click **Yearly**. The toggle shows your yearly savings, such as **-25%**.
3. Pick your tier and listing commitment.
4. Click **Confirm Plan Change** to confirm.

Switching to yearly billing takes effect immediately. You are charged the full yearly amount today.

Already on a yearly plan and want to move back to monthly billing? Message us on chat and we’ll switch you back.

#### What happens when you upgrade

* Your account updates **immediately**.
* If you upgrade to a **higher monthly listing commitment**, your billing cycle resets to the upgrade date.
* If you upgrade to a **higher tier (moving from Essential to Ultimate)** without changing your listing commitment, charges are **prorated** for the remaining days in your current cycle.

***

### Downgrade your plan

Downgrading is useful if you’re in a slow season or your current commitment is higher than you need.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Listings can roll over. If you downgrade, you may reduce your ability to “bank” listings for peak season.
{% endhint %}

#### What happens when you downgrade

* Your new plan starts at the **beginning of your next billing cycle**.
* Your billing date stays the same.
* You keep full access until the change takes effect.

### Managing your plan during slow season

When listing volume drops, downgrade to the **1 listing/month** plan.

1. Go to **Settings → Plan & Billing → Change Plan**.
2. Select the **1 listing/month** plan.
3. Confirm the change.

The downgrade starts with your next billing cycle.

#### Unused listing credits

Unused listing credits stay on your account for up to 12 months after they are added. They remain available after you move to a lower tier.

{% hint style="info" %}
Pay as You Go is a buffer for usage beyond your base subscription. It is not a standalone plan.

The minimum base subscription is **1 listing/month**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Downgrade to **1 listing/month** during slow season. Your unused credits keep rolling over.

When business picks up, upgrade again. Your unused credits and new monthly allowance are ready to use.
{% endhint %}

***

### Cancel your plan

To cancel instead of changing plans, scroll to the bottom of the **Change Plan** page.

Click **Cancel Plan**, then submit and confirm the cancellation request.

Your current plan remains active until the end of the billing cycle.

See [Cancel Plan](/billing/cancel-plan.md) for what happens after cancellation.

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro tip**

Pick a monthly commitment that matches your average usage over the last 12 months. It gives you room to roll listings forward in slow months and use them during peak season.
{% endhint %}
