Upgrades, downgrades, and renewals

How does BoardPro handle billing for subscription upgrades, downgrades, and renewals?

Written by Rajit Theodore

Managing your BoardPro subscription involves understanding how billing works for upgrades, downgrades, and renewals. This article provides a comprehensive overview of these processes to help you make informed decisions.

Overview of Billing and Subscription Policies

BoardPro offers flexible subscription management options, including the ability to upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. However, the timing of these changes—whether mid-cycle or at renewal—affects how billing is handled.

Mid-Cycle Upgrades and Pro-Rated Charges

When you upgrade your subscription mid-cycle, BoardPro applies a pro-rated charge for the remaining time until your renewal date. This means:

  1. You pay only the proportional difference between your current plan and the upgraded plan for the time left in your billing cycle.

  2. At your next renewal, you will be charged the full annual amount for the upgraded plan.

For example, if you upgrade halfway through your billing cycle, you’ll only pay half the cost difference for the upgrade until the renewal date. You’ll receive an invoice or receipt reflecting this pro-rated amount.

Renewal Dates and How to Find Them

Your subscription renewal date is crucial for managing upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations. To find your renewal date:

  1. Open your most recent invoice.

  2. Look for the billing period or the section labeled “renewal date.”

This information helps you plan changes to your subscription effectively.

Downgrades and Refund Policies

You can request a downgrade at any time, but it’s important to note that BoardPro does not offer refunds for the difference in cost when downgrading mid-cycle. To maximize the value of your current plan, it’s generally best to schedule downgrades to take effect at your next renewal date.

Key Takeaways

  • Upgrades: Pro-rated charges apply for mid-cycle changes; full plan cost is charged at renewal.

  • Renewal Dates: Check your last invoice for renewal details.

  • Downgrades: No refunds for mid-cycle downgrades; plan changes are best scheduled at renewal.

By understanding these policies, you can manage your BoardPro subscription more effectively and avoid unexpected charges.
