Can I change my plan?
Yes, you can upgrade, downgrade, pause, or cancel your plan at any time.
Upgrades: Take effect immediately. You'll gain access to your new plan's features right away.
Downgrades: Take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You'll keep your current plan's features until then.
Cancellations: Your recurring payment is cancelled immediately, but your plan remains active until the end of your current billing period. After that, you're moved to the Free plan.
If your account has a previously purchased AI usage balance, switching between a managed AI plan and a BYOK plan does not delete it.
How to manage your subscription
From Account Settings:
- Click your profile icon (top right of dashboard or top of workspace sidebar)
- Select Account Settings
- Click Manage Subscription
- This securely opens your Stripe billing session without another email login
- Click Update plan to change, pause, or cancel
Switching between managed AI and BYOK plans
Managed AI and BYOK have different subscription prices. Switching between them is a billing-plan change, not a simple provider toggle.
What changes when you move to BYOK:
- Scribeist-managed AI usage is no longer included
- AI requests use a supported provider you connect instead
- You still need an active Scribeist subscription
What stays the same:
- Your workspace access and plan-level feature access
- Any legacy purchased AI usage already on your account

AppSumo licenses
AppSumo licenses are managed through AppSumo rather than Stripe. If you activate an AppSumo license while a Stripe subscription is active, follow the prompt in Account Settings to prevent the Stripe subscription from renewing unnecessarily.
