Billing FAQ

Common questions about billing, payments, and subscriptions

Subscription & Billing

How does billing work?

We bill on a recurring basis based on your chosen plan:

  • Monthly plans: Billed every 30 days from your signup date
  • Annual plans: Billed once per year with a 17% discount
  • Free plan: No billing required, forever free

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept secure payments through Stripe:

  • Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
  • Debit cards with Visa/Mastercard logos
  • PayPal (in select regions)
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay

When will I be charged?

Your first charge occurs immediately upon subscription. Subsequent charges happen automatically on your billing date (monthly or annually). View receipts and billing history in yourStripe Customer Portal.

Can I change my billing date?

Your billing date is set when you first subscribe and cannot be changed. However, if you need to adjust your billing cycle, you can cancel and re-subscribe on your preferred date.

Plan Changes & Upgrades

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes! You can change your plan at any time from your account settings:

  • Upgrades: Take effect immediately with prorated billing
  • Downgrades: Take effect at the end of your current billing period
  • Annual to Monthly: Switch at the end of your annual term

How does prorated billing work?

When you upgrade mid-cycle, we calculate the unused portion of your current plan and apply it as credit toward your new plan. You'll only pay the difference for the remaining time.

What happens to my data when I downgrade?

Your data is preserved, but access to premium features may be limited:

  • Saved playlists beyond the new limit become read-only
  • Search limits reset to the new tier
  • Advanced features become unavailable
  • You can re-upgrade anytime to restore full access

Payment Issues & Failed Payments

How do I update my payment method?

You can manage your payment methods, view billing history, and update subscription details through our secure billing portal. Access it by clicking "Manage Billing & Payment Methods" in your account settings. Changes take effect immediately and will be used for your next billing cycle.

Why was my card declined?

Common reasons for card declines:

  • Insufficient funds or credit limit reached
  • Expired card or incorrect card details
  • Bank fraud protection blocking the transaction
  • International payments restricted by your bank

Contact your bank or try a different payment method if issues persist.

Cancellation & Refunds

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, then your account converts to the free plan.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer refunds in specific circumstances:

  • Monthly plans: Full refund within 48 hours of purchase
  • Annual plans: Prorated refund within 30 days
  • Service issues: Case-by-case evaluation

See our Refund Policy for complete details.

What happens to my data after cancellation?

Your account data is preserved for 90 days after cancellation. You can reactivate your subscription within this period to restore full access. After 90 days, premium data may be archived but won't be deleted.

Security & Privacy

Is my payment information secure?

Yes! We use Stripe for payment processing, which is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant - the highest level of security certification. We never store your payment details on our servers.

Do you store my credit card information?

No, we don't store credit card information on our servers. All payment data is securely handled by Stripe, and we only receive a secure token to process future payments.

Account Management

Can I have multiple subscriptions?

Each email address can only have one active subscription. If you need multiple accounts for different projects, please use different email addresses.

How do I change my billing email?

You can update your billing email in your account settings. This is where we'll send receipts, billing notifications, and payment reminders.

Can I transfer my subscription to another account?

Subscriptions cannot be transferred between accounts. If you need to change the account holder, please cancel your current subscription and create a new one with the desired account.
