FAQ

Includes technical Q&A
Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the change takes effect immediately — upgrades are prorated, so you only pay the time-adjusted difference and receive the additional credits right away. If you downgrade, the unused balance is applied as a credit toward your next billing cycle and your current plan stays active until then.
