#### **Upgrade Your Plan in a Few Clicks**

Changing your plan no longer means contacting us. You can now move between plans yourself from the Plans page, and see exactly what you will pay before you commit.

**What's New:**

* **Plan upgrades you can complete yourself**, straight from the Plans page.
* **A full order summary** with a pricing breakdown, shown before you confirm.
* **Automatic proration**, so upgrading partway through your billing cycle is charged fairly.
* **Upgrade confirmation** in the app as soon as your new plan is active.

## Frequently asked questions
