In this article, you'll learn how to upgrade your existing BeatStars plan to a higher tier to unlock more features. For a full list of plan types and their features, please visit the Pricing page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Pro-Rated Charges For Subscription Upgrades
- When upgrading your BeatStars subscription, pro-rated charges are applied based on the time remaining on your current plan.
- If you upgrade before your current subscription’s end date, your plan will switch to the upgraded plan, and the remaining pro-rata credits will be applied to your invoice for the Subscription.
- If you upgrade to a new plan partway through your subscription you will pay a pro-rated amount. If your new plan offers promo credits, you will receive the difference between your already received promotional credits (if your old plan included any), and the promotional credits included within your new plan, (example below).
| Plan Upgrade | Expected Promo Credits |
| Free to Starter | No Promo Credits offered for Starter |
| Free to Growth | Full $25 Promo Credits |
| Free to Professional | Full $50 Promo Credits |
| Starter to Growth | Full $25 Promo Credits |
| Starter to Professional | Full $50 Promo Credits |
| Growth to Professional | $25 Promo Credits (Growth already offers $25) |
