Are you contemplating an upgrade from our Starter plan to the Growth plan, or perhaps eyeing the transition from Starter/Growth to the Pro plan? You might be wondering how your current subscription payments factor into this. Fortunately, at Cake, we've got you covered with our pro rata billing system πŸ’‘

πŸ’° Pro Rata Billing Explained

When you decide to upgrade, whether you're in the middle of a monthly or annual billing cycle, the platform will seamlessly handle your transition. You'll see the total cost for the plan you're upgrading to, but rest assured, you won't be charged the full amount upfront.

🌟 Automatic Calculation for Your Benefit

Our platform takes care of the complex calculations automatically. It considers the amount you've already paid for your existing subscription and deducts this from the total cost of your desired higher-tier subscription.

In simple terms, you only pay for the difference between your current subscription and the one you're moving to, adjusted for the time left in your billing cycle πŸ“…
