Bouncy makes it easy to change your subscription plan as your needs evolve. This article explains how to upgrade, downgrade, and what happens during each process.

How to Upgrade Your Plan

Step 1: Open the Pricing Page

Click Pricing in the sidebar to see all available plans.

Step 2: Choose Your Billing Period

Toggle between Monthly and Annual billing at the top of the page. Annual billing saves up to 50%.

Step 3: Select a Plan

Click the upgrade button on the plan you want:

Plan

Monthly

Annual (per month)

Growth

$35/mo

$17.50/mo

Scaling

$75/mo

$37.50/mo

Dominance

From $150/mo

From $75/mo

For the Dominance plan, use the link count slider to choose the number of active links you need (50-300). See What is the Dominance Plan Link Slider? for details.

Step 4: Complete Checkout

You'll be redirected to a Stripe Checkout page where you can enter your payment details. If you have an active affiliate discount, it will be applied automatically.

Step 5: Start Using Your New Features

After payment, your new plan features are available immediately. No need to log out or refresh — your dashboard updates automatically.

How Upgrades Are Prorated

When you upgrade mid-billing cycle, Bouncy prorates the cost. You only pay the difference between your current plan and the new plan for the remaining days in your billing period.

Example: If you're 15 days into a monthly Growth plan ($35/mo) and upgrade to Scaling ($75/mo), you'll pay approximately $20 for the remaining 15 days, then $75/mo from the next billing cycle.

How to Downgrade Your Plan

  1. Click Profile in the sidebar

  2. On your subscription card, click Manage Billing

  3. This opens the Stripe Customer Portal where you can change your plan

  4. Select the lower plan you want to switch to

  5. Confirm the change

What Happens When You Downgrade

  • The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep your current plan's features until then

  • Extra links beyond the new plan's limit will be deactivated (not deleted)

  • Extra custom domains beyond the new plan's limit will be disconnected

  • Team members beyond the new plan's limit may lose access

Your links and data are never deleted during a downgrade. If you upgrade again later, you can reactivate everything.

Switching Between Monthly and Annual Billing

To switch from monthly to annual billing (or vice versa):

  1. Go to Profile > Manage Billing

  2. In the Stripe Customer Portal, you can change your billing period

  3. Annual billing saves up to 50% compared to monthly

Things to Know

  • Upgrades are immediate — new features activate as soon as payment is confirmed

  • Downgrades are deferred — you keep your current plan until the billing period ends

  • Proration is automatic — Stripe handles the math for mid-cycle upgrades

  • You can upgrade or downgrade at any time — there are no lock-in periods
