# Changing plan

If you started on monthly and want to move to annual (saving ~14%) or the other way around (annual to monthly), you do it under **Settings → Billing**, in the **Subscription** section.

## Step by step

1. Open **Settings → Billing**.
2. The **Subscription** section shows your current plan and its status (e.g. *"Subscription active"*).
3. Click **Switch to annual ({price})** or **Switch to monthly ({price})**, depending on which way you're going.
4. Bulido shows a dialog explaining what the switch does (see below) and asks for confirmation.

## Switching from monthly to annual

Bulido shows: *"Switching to annual will charge your card for the full year now (with credit for unused time on your current period). Continue?"*.

What that means in practice:

- **You're charged immediately** for the full year up front.
- Bulido **credits** your unused time on the current month — you don't lose days you've already paid for.
- The next payment is a year from today.

## Switching from annual to monthly

Bulido shows: *"Switching to monthly will change the billing cycle immediately. Continue?"*.

What that means:

- The cycle changes immediately.
- The remaining paid annual period is settled. You'll see the details in payment history.
- Future payments are monthly.

## After confirming

Bulido shows *"Subscription plan updated."*. The payment history records the change as a separate entry (pro-forma or adjustment, depending on the direction).

If the operation fails (card declined, payment processor error), you'll see *"Could not change subscription plan."*. Check the **Payment method** section and try again.

## Cancel instead of change

If you don't want to change the plan but rather **stop using** Bulido, use **Cancel subscription** — see [How to cancel your subscription](/helpcenter/billing/cancel-subscription).
