Upgrading or Downgrading Your Plan

You can change your SwiftlyCRM plan at any time from Settings → Billing.

Upgrading from Free to a Pro Tier

  1. Go to Settings → Billing
  2. Click Upgrade and select Pro, Pro Plus, or Pro Max
  3. Select Monthly or Annual billing
  4. Choose how many users to include (or leave it open — all Pro tiers are per-active-user)
  5. Enter your payment details (Paystack for African countries, Stripe for international)
  6. Click Subscribe

Your plan upgrades immediately. Usage limits increase at once — no waiting for a billing cycle.

Upgrading Between Pro Tiers

You can move from Pro to Pro Plus or Pro Max (or from Pro Plus to Pro Max) at any time:

  1. Go to Settings → Billing → Current Plan
  2. Click Change Plan
  3. Select your new tier
  4. Confirm the change

Switching from Monthly to Annual

  1. Go to Settings → Billing → Current Plan
  2. Click Switch to Annual
  3. You're charged the annual amount immediately, prorated for the remaining months if you're mid-cycle
  4. Your next renewal date updates to 12 months from today

Annual billing saves 20% on all Pro tiers

Pro: $48/user/year (vs $60 monthly). Pro Plus: $96/user/year (vs $120 monthly). Pro Max: $192/user/year (vs $240 monthly).

Downgrading Between Pro Tiers

You can downgrade from a higher Pro tier to a lower one:

  1. Go to Settings → Billing → Current Plan
  2. Click Change Plan
  3. Select the lower tier
  4. Confirm the change
Downgrade PathWhat Happens
Pro Max → Pro PlusCurrent tier access continues until end of billing period, then limits adjust
Pro Max → ProCurrent tier access continues until end of billing period, then limits adjust
Pro Plus → ProCurrent tier access continues until end of billing period, then limits adjust

Important: If your current usage exceeds the limits of the lower tier (e.g., you have 20,000 contacts and downgrade from Pro Plus to Pro which allows 2,500), you'll retain access to existing data but won't be able to add new records until usage is within the new limits.

Downgrading to Free

  1. Go to Settings → Billing → Current Plan
  2. Click Cancel Subscription
  3. Confirm the cancellation

What happens when you downgrade:

Adding or Removing Users (All Pro Tiers)

All Pro tier billing is per active user. When you deactivate a user, they no longer count toward your bill from the next billing cycle.
