Changing or canceling your plan

Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your BankSync plan, including the downgrade checklist and how plan caps change.

Your plan can change as your needs do. This guide walks through upgrading to a higher tier, downgrading to a lower one (and clearing anything that blocks it), and canceling without losing access before your period ends. Everything happens on the Billing Overview tab in Settings.

Upgrading from Standard to Professional, end to end.
Downgrading and canceling from the Billing panel.

Before you start

Billing is a workspace-level setting, so you need the Owner or Admin role to change plans. Without it, Billing opens in view-only mode (you'll see a "View only" banner). Open Settings from the left navigation, then click Billing under the Workspace group in the sidebar. To pay for an upgrade you'll also need a card on file (added during checkout).

What changes between plans#

When you move up or down a tier, your workspace limits change immediately. These are the caps that the upgrade and downgrade flows check against.

PlanBank connectionsFeedsMembers (seats)Sync cadenceRoles
Free011WeeklyOwner only
Starter121WeeklyOwner only
Standard551Daily, WeeklyOwner, Viewer
Professional15Unlimited5Hourly, Daily, WeeklyOwner, Admin, Editor, Viewer
Business30Unlimited10Hourly, Daily, WeeklyOwner, Admin, Editor, Viewer

A few more limits also change with the tier:

The monthly document quota covers the Document Extractor and resets on the 1st of each month.

Need more without changing tiers

On Professional and Business, the Add-ons tab lets you buy extra capacity (Extra Bank Connections, Extra Team Seats, Extra Extractor Blocks, and on Business, Extra Client Portals) on top of these base caps. Add-on charges are prorated.

Upgrade to a higher plan#

Upgrading is the quick path: pick the tier, confirm, and the new limits apply right away.

Move up a tier

  1. Open Settings → Billing

    In the settings sidebar, under the Workspace group, click Billing. The page opens on the Overview tab.

  2. Find the plan grid

    Scroll to the Browse plans / Switch plan grid. Use the monthly/yearly toggle to compare prices (yearly is the cheaper per-month rate). Your current plan's card shows a disabled "Current plan" button.

  3. Click the higher plan

    Pick Standard, Professional, or Business. An upgrade goes straight to a confirmation dialog that lists what changes (higher caps, new roles, faster sync) and the prorated charge.

  4. Add a card if prompted

    If you have no payment method on file, you're routed to a secure card form first. Enter your card details to continue; BankSync stores the card with Stripe, not in BankSync itself.

  5. Confirm the change

    Click the confirm button on the consequences screen. The subscription is created and the plan activates immediately. A "Plan switched" message confirms the new tier.

Switching while past-due

If a charge has failed, your plan shows past_due. Switching plans in that state resets the subscription and drops any add-ons (extra banks, seats), and the confirmation dialog warns you before you commit. Clear the past-due status first by adding a working card on the Payment tab. See /docs/account-billing/managing-your-plan for updating your payment method.

Downgrade to a lower plan#

Downgrades run a validation checklist before anything changes, because a smaller plan may not fit your current usage. Some issues are fixed for you; over-cap issues you must clear yourself.

Move down a tier

  1. Click the lower plan in the grid

    On the Billing Overview tab, pick a tier below your current one. BankSync calls its precheck and, if there is anything to resolve, opens the validation checklist instead of going straight to confirmation.

  2. Review the checklist

    Each item is grouped by severity. Auto-fixable items can be resolved in place; over-cap items must be cleared by you; informational and acknowledge-only items just need your consent.

  3. Apply the auto-fixes

    For an incompatible role (for example, Admins or Editors when the target plan does not allow them), click the offered fix to demote those members to Viewer. For a sync schedule that the lower plan can't run (such as Hourly on a plan that tops out at Daily), the fix relaxes those feeds to an allowed cadence. Applying the fix unblocks Continue.

  4. Resolve over-cap items yourself

    If you have more banks, feeds, members, or client portals than the lower plan allows, those rows are a hard block with no auto-fix. Click Resolve manually to jump to the relevant page, remove items down to the cap, then return to the checklist.

  5. Continue and confirm

    Once every must-resolve item is cleared, Continue enables. Confirm the consequences screen to commit the downgrade. A clean downgrade (nothing over cap, no incompatible roles or schedules) skips the checklist entirely and goes straight to confirmation.

The checklist sorts work into three kinds:

Item kindExampleHow it's resolved
Auto-fixable (role)Admins or Editors on a plan that allows only Owner and ViewerOne-click demote to Viewer
Auto-fixable (schedule)A feed set to Hourly moving to a plan without HourlyOne-click change to an allowed cadence
Over-cap (hard block)More banks, feeds, members, or portals than the lower plan allowsYou remove items down to the cap (Resolve manually)
Acknowledge-onlyAPI access or MCP that the lower plan turns offConfirm you understand the feature stops working

Free and past-due block new bank connections

Dropping to Free (0 bank connections) or letting a charge go past_due will block connecting new banks. Existing usage over the new cap must be brought down before the downgrade will commit, so you won't be left silently over the limit, but plan to disconnect or remove the excess yourself.

Cancel your subscription#

Canceling stops future charges but keeps your access until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Cancel or resume

  1. Open the cancel control

    On the Billing Overview tab, use the quiet Cancel subscription link at the bottom, or the Cancel plan tab (it appears while your subscription is active or trialing).

  2. Confirm the cancellation

    Your plan is scheduled to lapse to Free at the end of the current billing period. You keep full access, with your current limits, until that date.

  3. Resume before it takes effect

    While a cancellation is pending, a banner offers a Resume option. Click it to clear the scheduled cancellation and keep your plan with no interruption. Switching to a different plan also clears a pending cancellation, and the confirmation dialog tells you when that happens.

Confirm it worked#

  • After an upgrade or downgrade, the Your plan card on the Billing Overview shows the expected plan name with an active (or trialing) status, and the Usage this month meters reflect the new limits.
  • You see a "Plan switched" confirmation when a change commits.
  • After canceling, the plan shows a scheduled-cancellation banner with the date access ends and a Resume option.
  • After resuming, that banner disappears and the plan reads as active again.

Troubleshooting#

Common issues

Controls greyed out or a "View only" banner: you need the Owner or Admin role. Downgrade won't continue: the checklist still has an unresolved must-resolve item. Apply the offered auto-fix, or for over-cap rows (banks, feeds, members, portals) use Resolve manually to remove items down to the new cap, then come back. Can't connect new banks: you're on Free or past_due. Add a working card on the Payment tab to clear past_due, or upgrade to a tier with bank connections. Upgrade asks for a card: there's no payment method on file yet. Enter one in the secure form to continue.
