What happens if I downgrade my current subscription plan ($297/ $497) to the Freelancer Plan ($97)?

The Freelance Plan is priced at $97 and allows you to create up to 3 locations. If you require additional locations, you must upgrade your agency account. The 3-location limit is in place because one sub-account is reserved for your agency, the second for testing and learning purposes, and the third is for your client's account. If you decide to downgrade, you will be able to keep only one sub-account.

I see a Please update the billing address on the agency billing page Error. What Can I Do?

  • If you see the error banner in the image below, this means that, as per our stripe log, the billing address added is not the same as mentioned on the payment method. Three checks are performed by stripe; postal code/zip code, address line, and CVC check.

Alternatively, we can cancel your subscription if you disagree with these terms. This way, you can reinstate it whenever you're ready to return without losing your data!



Why was I Charged Immediately after Upgrading? (Proration Explained)


We understand that different monetary amounts appearing on your statement can cause concern to our clients. These changes are often attributed to proration for a modified subscription mid-cycle. Since HighLevel is a prepaid service, paying your monthly invoice is for the following/upcoming month.

If you upgrade to a higher-tiered plan mid-cycleyou gain access to the new features of that plan type right away! Since this is being applied before the next billing date, HighLevel has to adjust pro-rata for the period you were still using the lower-tiered plan. To do so, we calculate the per-day amount owed for the lower-tiered plan. This amount is multiplied by the number of days under that plan, then deducted from the total amount to be paid for the higher-tiered plan.

Here is an example:
Cost of Lower tiered plan: $297
Cost of Higher tiered plan: $497
Last Billing Date: March 5th
Current Billing Date: March 15th
Number of Days lower-tiered plan was used: 10 days
Credits: $297 - [($297/30) X 10] = $198
No. of Day Remaining: 20
Amount to be Billed: [($497/30) X 20] - $198 = $133.33
Next Billing Date: May 5th

Please Note:

Upgrading mid-cycle will create a pro-rated charge immediately applied to your account. This happens because anytime you upgrade a HighLevel subscription, you receive the benefits of that new plan you are upgrading to instantly. Therefore, your billing cycle must reset from the day you upgraded.

I signed up to use the Platform Under ANOTHER AGENCY, not directly through HighLevel. How do I cancel my services?


This applies if your account/subaccount was purchased and subscribed through another agency and not directly through HighLevel. 
You may have signed up directly with that agency and not through HighLevel's company website. This is quite common, as many small, medium, and larger-sized agencies will offer subaccounts to their clients under their agency umbrella of accounts. HighLevel is the base platform type being used by these larger agencies.

Please contact your Agency Admin to cancel your services, as HighLevel cannot do this.

*** Note: If you did signup directly through HighLevel, please log in to your original HighLevel account, and follow the steps in Q7. ***
