# Upgrading Plan

> How to upgrade your BeatPass subscription to a higher tier with more features.

Upgrading means moving to a higher-priced paid plan, such as **Classic** to **Plus** or **Plus** to **Pro**.

***

## How to Upgrade

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Billing Page">
    Click your **profile avatar** in the top navigation bar, then select **Billing** from the menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Change Plan">
    In the Current plan section, click the **Change plan** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your New Plan">
    Browse available plans and select the one you want to upgrade to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose when it should apply">
    On the confirmation page, BeatPass may let you pick **Apply immediately** or **Apply on renewal date**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Upgrade">
    Click **Confirm Plan Change**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Happens When You Upgrade

### If You Apply It Immediately

* The new plan starts right away
* BeatPass can charge only the difference for the rest of the current billing period
* Future renewals use the new plan price

### If You Apply It On Renewal Date

* BeatPass keeps your current plan active until your renewal date
* The new plan takes over on that date
* No immediate upgrade charge is required

***

## Requirements for Upgrading

If BeatPass does not have a usable payment method for an immediate charge, the confirmation page schedules the upgrade for your renewal date instead.

## Current Paid Plan Prices

| Plan        | Monthly Price | Beat Request Limit |
| ----------- | ------------- | ------------------ |
| **Classic** | \$29 CAD      | 1                  |
| **Plus**    | \$45 CAD      | 3                  |
| **Pro**     | \$59 CAD      | 5                  |

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My upgrade failed">
    Check that your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. The card may have been declined due to:

    * Insufficient balance
    * Expired card
    * Card issuer security block

    Try updating your payment method and attempting the upgrade again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I don't see the features after upgrading">
    Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. New features should appear immediately after a successful upgrade.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I was charged more than expected">
    If you chose **Apply immediately**, BeatPass may charge the difference for the rest of the current billing period. Review the confirmation page and invoice for the breakdown.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I only see the renewal-date option">
    That usually means BeatPass cannot complete an immediate charge right now, so the upgrade is being scheduled instead.
  </Accordion>
