How to downgrade your plan

Updated October 9, 2026

If your current plan offers more than you need, you can switch to a simpler one — for example, from Business to Individual. The new plan takes effect when the paid period ends, and until then the space keeps working on the current terms

Moving to the free Mini plan means cancelling the subscription — see How to cancel your subscription. If you only need to cut costs, you can reduce the number of licenses or change the subscription period — see Space plan management

What to check before downgrading ​

The space must fit within the new plan's limits on the number of teams and members. On Individual, the space can have only one member — the owner — and no more than one team. The limits of all plans are listed in Comparing flip plans

If the space doesn't fit within the limits, a window saying that only a certain number of teams and licenses is available on this plan appears after you choose the plan, with a hint on how many to remove. The “Manage space” button opens the “Space profile”

To fit within the limits:

While the space has more than one member, the Individual card shows “Only one member” instead of “Buy”

How to downgrade your plan ​

  1. In the left sidebar, click “Space settings” next to the space name. If you have several spaces, open the list of spaces and click the settings icon in the row of the current space

  2. Select the “Plan management” section

  3. Click “Switch to another plan”

    The “Plan management” section with the “Switch to another plan” card

  4. In the “Plans” window, click “Buy” on the card of the plan you need. The current plan is marked with the “Selected” button

  5. In the “Plan terms” window, check the “Scheduled plan” and the “Next validity period”

  6. Click “Change”

The “Changes successfully scheduled” message appears, and the “Switch to another plan” card shows the “Changes scheduled from …” mark with the date of the plan change

When the new plan takes effect ​

The new plan is connected when the current paid period ends. On that day, the payment for the new plan is charged to your saved card. Until then, the space keeps the features and limits of the current plan

You can see which plan, amount and payment date are scheduled in “Space settings” → “Payment information” → “My subscription”, in the “Next payment details” block

If the payment at the start of the new period fails, the space switches to Mini — see What happens when you cancel your subscription

Limitations ​

  • Only the space owner can downgrade the plan
  • The “Plan management” section is available while the subscription renews automatically. If the subscription is cancelled, the section is hidden — resume the subscription first
  • On the Mini card in the “Plans” window, the “Choose” button opens the subscription cancellation window
  • The subscription period isn't chosen when changing the plan — it is changed separately in “Plan management” → “Change subscription period”
