Switching between monthly and annual

You can move between monthly and annual whenever you fancy, but there's one thing worth knowing before you do it, so read the gotcha at the bottom first.

1. Sign in and go to your account page.
2. Click Change next to your membership, or go straight to change your membership.
3. Pick the plan you want, monthly or annual, and check out.

Here's the catch. Switching starts the new plan fresh from that day. It doesn't pro-rata or carry over whatever's left on your current plan, so if you switch halfway through a paid month or year, you don't get that time credited. The tidy time to switch is around your renewal date, when there's little left on the old plan to lose.

Not sure whether it's worth it for where you are in your cycle? Reply to any email from me and ask before you click, and I'll tell you straight. What you get either way is exactly the same, it's only the price and the billing rhythm that change. See What you get.
