Moving up a plan
You pay the gap today and your new limit starts at once. Your payment date stays the same.
Updated Sep 28, 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.
- The five plans are shown side by side, with Yearly (save 20%) selected first. If you pay monthly and want to keep paying monthly, click Monthly first.
- Pick the plan you want. Under What happens you'll see exactly what you owe today: the difference between your current plan's price and the new one.
- Tick the box to agree, then click Upgrade · (the amount) today. Your card is charged the gap right away, and your new, higher limit is available immediately.
What this costs
On monthly billing, the gap is the full difference between the two monthly prices, whatever day of the month you upgrade. For example, moving from Up to 150 checks ($99/month) to Up to 500 checks ($179/month) charges $80 that day. With Monthly selected, your next full payment, $179, is on your usual payment date. Your payment date never moves when you upgrade.
If you pay monthly and leave Yearly selected, moving up also switches you to yearly billing: you still pay the $80 gap today, and on your next payment date you're charged the bigger plan's yearly price ($1,716 for Up to 500 checks) instead of $179. The sentence you tick says exactly what will be charged, and when.
If you're on a yearly plan, moving up charges the gap between the two yearly prices for the months left in your paid year (the month you're in counts as a full month), 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. The checks you already ran this month still count toward the new limit. If you were at your limit and checks had stopped, they start working again immediately.
