# Subscription & Billing

> View your plan, upgrade or downgrade, and manage payment details through Stripe.

Your subscription controls how many businesses you can run and which features are available. All billing is handled through Stripe, and you can manage everything from **Settings > Subscription**.

## Your current plan

At the top of the page, you'll see a card showing:

* Your **plan name** (Starter, Pro, or Agency+)
* **Status** (Active, Trial, Past Due, Canceled)
* **Number of businesses** included
* **Current billing period** dates
* **Trial end date** (if you're on a trial)

## Upgrading your plan

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings > Subscription">
    Scroll down to the "Change Plan" section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the plan you want">
    Click **Select Plan** on the card for the plan you'd like to switch to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete payment on Stripe">
    You'll be redirected to Stripe Checkout. Enter or confirm your payment details and complete the transaction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="New slots are available immediately">
    After payment, your plan is upgraded and you can add more businesses right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Downgrading your plan

If you switch to a plan with fewer business slots:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the lower plan">
    Click **Select Plan** on the cheaper plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose businesses to deactivate">
    If you have more active businesses than the new plan allows, a dialog will ask you which businesses to deactivate. Select the ones you want to pause.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deactivation is scheduled">
    The selected businesses are marked "Pending Deactivation" and will be deactivated at the end of your current billing period. Until then, they continue working normally.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deactivated businesses can't be accessed until you reactivate them (which requires an available slot in your plan). Make sure you don't deactivate a business you're actively managing.
</Warning>

## Managing your payment method

Click **Manage Subscription** to open the Stripe Customer Portal. From there you can:

* Update your credit card or payment method
* View and download invoices
* Cancel your subscription

## Canceling your subscription

Cancellation is handled through the Stripe Customer Portal. When you cancel:

* Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period
* After that, your account reverts to the free tier
* Your data isn't deleted, so you can resubscribe later and pick up where you left off

## Free trial

All new accounts start with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. You get full access to all features during the trial. When the trial ends, you can choose a plan to continue using AdAdvisor.
