Moving up a plan
You pay the gap today and your new limit starts at once. Your payment date stays the same.
Updated Sep 23, 2026
You can move to a bigger plan any time, from Settings › Plan & billing › Change plan. The change takes effect immediately, not at your next payment date.
- Open Settings › Plan & billing and choose Change plan.
- Pick the plan you want. The five plans are shown side by side, with Yearly selected first.
- You'll see exactly what you owe today: the difference between your current plan and the new one, for the rest of this month.
- Confirm the charge. Your card is charged the gap right away, and your new, higher limit is available immediately.
What this costs
For example, moving from Up to 150 checks ($99/month) to Up to 500 checks ($179/month) on the 12th of the month, with your payment date on the 1st, charges roughly $80 that day. Your next full payment, $179, is still on the 1st. Your payment date never moves when you upgrade.
If you're on a yearly plan, moving up charges the gap for the months left in your paid year, and your yearly renewal date stays the same.
Good to know
No processing fees. Sales tax is added where a state requires it.
After you upgrade
Your new plan's checks are available at once. If you were at your limit and checks had stopped, they start working again immediately.
