Upgrade / downgrade both start from Account → Subscription.

Upgrade
Free → Starter / Pro
- Account → Subscription
- Click "Subscribe" on the target tier
- Redirect to Stripe Checkout
- Enter card, confirm
- Done → immediate
Starter and Pro are the two self-serve tiers you can subscribe to from this page.
Starter → Pro
- Account → Subscription
- Click "Upgrade to Pro"
- Confirm the plan change
- Prorated, immediate
Moving to Team
Team is not a self-serve checkout tier. On the Team card, the button is "Contact Us" — it opens an email to our support team rather than a Subscribe/Checkout flow. To move onto Team, reach out to us and we'll set it up for you.
Downgrade
Pro / Team → Starter / Free:
- Account → Subscription
- "Change plan" / Stripe Customer Portal
- Pick the lower tier
- Takes effect next billing cycle — keep Pro perks this cycle
When changes apply
| Action | Applies |
|---|---|
| Upgrade | Immediately |
| Downgrade | Next billing cycle |
| Cancel | At end of current cycle |
Your data is preserved across all of these
Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel — your data stays:
- Books, chapters, version history → kept
- AI chats → kept
- Reading reports → kept
- Custom preferences → kept
Pro-only features become unusable after downgrade to Starter, but settings persist — re-upgrade and they're still there.
