Click **Visit Payment Page** and confirm the payment on Stripe's page. Until it's paid, you stay on your current plan. ## What you pay when you change plans - **Upgrading** to a bigger plan: you're charged at once for the new plan for the rest of your current period, minus the unused part of what you already paid. Your renewal date stays the same. - **Downgrading** to a smaller plan: the unused part of your old plan, minus the smaller plan's cost for the rest of the period, is kept as credit on your account and taken off your next payments. It isn't paid back to your card. - **Switching from monthly to yearly**: yearly billing starts that day. You pay the yearly price minus the unused part of your current month, and the plan renews a year later. - **Switching from yearly to monthly**: monthly billing starts that day. The unused part of your year becomes credit that pays your monthly renewals until it runs out. Each charge and credit shows on your invoices: see [Get invoices and receipts, and add company details](https://jetwriter.ai/help/invoices). ## Downgrade to the Free plan There's no button for moving to Free: cancel your subscription instead. Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for, then your account moves to Free. See [Cancel your Jetwriter AI subscription](https://jetwriter.ai/help/cancel-subscription). ## Team plans - **Only the team's owner can change a team plan.** Members see the button grayed out, with "Only the team owner can change the plan. Please contact your team owner or leave this team to make changes." - **Team plans are priced per member.** The team pays its plan's price for every member, including people invited who haven't accepted yet. - **To see the team plans**, choose **Team** next to **Plans for** at the top of the pricing page. - **If you pay for your own plan and want a team**, click **Create a team** on a team plan. The team takes over your plan, with you as its owner. Each member you add afterwards is charged for the rest of the current period. - **A team's owner can't move to an individual plan** while the team exists: the individual plans say "Delete your team to switch to an individual plan." ## If you're on the Pro plan Pro is kept only for people who already have it. You can switch it between monthly and yearly billing, or upgrade to Ultra. Once you leave Pro, you can't go back to it. ## If something goes wrong - **"Uh oh! Something went wrong!"**: reload the pricing page.
