Upgrading & Checkout
How to start a plan, the difference between monthly and yearly, and how the free trial works.
On this page
Where to Upgrade
There are two ways to upgrade. You can open the Plans page from the navigation or your dashboard, or you can upgrade from inside the Studio: open the PLAN tab in the settings panel, which also appears whenever you tap a locked feature. Both lead to the same secure checkout.

Choose monthly or yearly billing on the Plans page, then upgrade.
Monthly vs Yearly
Each paid plan can be billed monthly or yearly. Yearly billing is charged once for the whole year and works out cheaper per month — Pro Creator drops from $29 to the equivalent of $19/month, and Studio Elite from $159 to $119/month. Choose the billing period with the toggle on the pricing card before checkout.
The 30-Day Free Trial
Pro Creator and Studio Elite both include a 30-day free trial so you can use every premium feature before you are charged. Your selected plan activates immediately and you are billed when the trial ends — unless you cancel first, in which case you are not charged. See "Managing Your Subscription" for how cancellation timing works during a trial.
Payment Methods & Security
Checkout is handled by trusted global payment processors (Paddle and PayPal) acting as merchant of record. Major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and common wallets are supported. Payments are encrypted and PCI-compliant — we never see or store your raw card details.
After You Pay
Once checkout completes, your plan activates right away and the previously locked features unlock in the Studio. If something still appears locked, refresh the page so the studio re-reads your subscription, and check that you are logged into the same account you purchased with.
