Understanding Pro Rata Billing

When you upgrade your Cake subscription, you only pay the difference between plans, adjusted for your remaining billing cycle.

How Pro Rata Billing Works

When you upgrade mid-cycle, Cake automatically:

  • Calculates what you've already paid for your current plan

  • Deducts this from your new plan's total cost

  • Charges you only the difference, adjusted for time remaining

Example

If you're halfway through a monthly Starter plan and upgrade to Growth, you'll pay roughly half the difference between the two plans for the remaining time in your cycle.
