What happens if I downgrade my plan?
You can downgrade your Simplebooklet plan at any time, and your current plan stays active until the end of your billing period. After that, your new plan's limits apply. Booklets over the new limit are paused, not deleted, and features your new plan doesn't include are switched off.
When does my downgrade take effect?
At the end of your current billing period. Until then, you keep everything on your current plan. For the steps, see Cancel your Subscription Plan.
What happens to my booklets?
If you have more booklets than your new plan allows, the extra ones are paused. Paused booklets aren't deleted. Their content, design and reports stay as they are, and readers see a message that the booklet is taking a short break.
You can choose which booklets stay active from your Dashboard. Learn more: Why are my booklets paused?
What happens to my features?
Features your new plan doesn't include are switched off once the downgrade takes effect. For example, moving from Business to Pro means losing Business features like Unlimited Accounts and AI Translation.
Anything you made with those features stays in your account, but you may not be able to edit it until you upgrade again.
What happens if I downgrade to Free?
Your account moves to the Free plan's limits: 2 active booklets, files up to 25MB, and 90 days or 1,000 opens, whichever comes first.
- Booklets beyond your 2 active ones are paused.
- If you don't upgrade, paused booklets are deleted after the 30-day grace period.

Common questions
Can I upgrade again later?
Yes. Upgrade from your Dashboard at any time. Paused booklets come back with the same links, as long as they haven't been deleted.
Will I get a refund when I downgrade?
Your current plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. For refunds, see Requesting a Refund.
