This article refers to our new pricing plans. For information about one of our legacy plans, please log in to view these articles instead, or contact us through the Messenger.

Note:

  • Customers on the Expert plan or on contracts need to contact us through the Messenger to make a change.

  • To upgrade to the Expert plan or get access to Premier Support, Premier Onboarding, and Custom API rate limits, you'll need to talk to sales.


If you pay monthly for your subscription

With a pay monthly subscription (no contract), upgrading from Essential or downgrading from Advanced is easily managed from Billing > Subscription.

Upgrade your plan

To upgrade your plan on a pay monthly subscription, click on your avatar in the bottom left to open the menu, then click on Billing.

Below your current plan, select View upgrade options.

Here, you'll be able to:

  • Select the Advanced plan and then click Upgrade now, or

  • Select the Expert plan and click Chat with sales.

Add Fin AI Copilot unlimited usage

Fin AI Copilot is a personal AI assistant designed to revolutionize support agent efficiency. All teammates with a full seat will have access to Fin AI Copilot included usage (available to use on 10 conversations/tickets per month). Unlimited usage can be purchased as a flexible per seat add-on for each teammate on any plan.

From Settings > Teammates, you’ll find a column for “Fin AI Copilot”.

Next to each teammate, you can select from the following options:

  • Unlimited usage - $35 per teammate / month. This is a flexible seat add-on that grants the teammate unlimited conversations with Fin AI Copilot (fair use limits apply).

  • Included usage - 10 included conversations / month. This allows the teammate to use Fin AI Copilot in up to 10 conversations/tickets each month at no additional cost.

  • Off - Switch off Fin AI Copilot for this teammate. This removes Fin AI Copilot access for the teammate.

Add Proactive Support Plus

If you’re looking to enhance your Proactive Support messaging, you can purchase Proactive Support Plus as an optional add-on to your monthly subscription.

This add-on can be added to your plan by creating a new message from Proactive Support and clicking on the purple upgrade icon next to the following message types: Post, Mobile Push, Carousel, Product Tour, or Survey.

Proactive Support Plus usage can incur additional charges via Messages Sent.

Downgrade your plan

To downgrade your plan on a pay monthly subscription, click on your avatar in the bottom left to open the menu, then click on Billing.

Below your current plan on the Subscription page, select View upgrade options.

Here, you'll be able to select the Essential plan and then click Downgrade now.

Note:

  • If you downgrade from a monthly plan with lite seats to one without (e.g. from Advanced to Essential) all your lite seats will be converted to full.

  • If you’re currently on the Expert plan and would like to downgrade to another plan, contact your Account Manager.

Remove Proactive Support Plus

To remove Proactive Support Plus from a pay monthly subscription (no contract), go to Billing and select Subscription.

Simply click Manage Add-On and then select Remove product to remove it from your current plan.

Once removed, you’ll retain access to the Proactive Support Plus add-on until the end of your current billing period and you won’t be billed for this add-on in the next period.

If you have a contracted subscription, you'll need to contact your Account Manager about removing Proactive Support Plus.


If you pay yearly for your subscription

With an annual subscription, you can upgrade your plan, add seats, and manage add-ons from the Manage subscription page.

Now click on Manage subscription from the left menu.

Under Your plan you'll be able to select Advanced and see the estimated upgrade cost if you choose to upgrade your plan (with your current number of seats).
