View your current billing period

To view your current billing period, go to Settings > Subscription > Billing > This billing period.

This billing period tab shows what you can expect on your next invoice — including additional usage charges incurred during this billing period, and any subscription payments that may be due on your next billing date.

If you have multiple workspaces, your usage is counted across all workspaces. Any workspace can contribute to additional usage charges.

For customers on a contract, this section only displays metrics that have exceeded the monthly usage included in your contract. All usage (including your contracted amount) can be found by clicking See all usage.

View all usage for the current billing period

To see all your usage for the current billing period, go to Settings > Subscription > Usage.

The current total reflects the total amount on your upcoming invoice. This can include both monthly subscriptions and any additional usage charges during this billing period.

The metrics shown in the graphs (e.g. 252 Bulk Emails Sent) represent your total usage for this period.

The prices shown represent the additional usage charges you’ve incurred, and they match the amounts listed under This billing period (and what you'll see on your invoice).

Hover over the price information icon to see:

  • Total usage this period

  • Usage in your subscription (if you have contracted usage)

  • Additional usage

Tip: You can set usage alerts and limits here to help manage your spending.


View and manage your subscription

To view details for your monthly, quarterly, or annual subscription, go to Settings > Subscription > Billing > Subscription.

The Subscription tab provides an overview of your plan and any contracted usage or add-ons, along with their associated costs.

If you have multiple workspaces, your subscription usage is counted across all workspaces. Any workspace can contribute to additional usage charges.

If you're currently on a trial, you'll see the plan and add-ons included in your trial subscription, and how many days of the free trial are remaining.

See features included in your subscription

To see which features are included in your current subscription, go to Settings > Subscription > Billing > Subscription and select See included features next to your plan.

Upgrade or downgrade your plan

Monthly/yearly subscriptions

If you pay monthly/yearly for your subscription (not on a contract), you can make changes to your subscription from Settings > Subscription > Billing > Subscription.

Simply click Change plan to compare plans and then select the plan you'd like to upgrade or downgrade to.

Note:

  • Upgrades will be enabled immediately and billed on a prorated basis.

  • Downgrades from a monthly plan with lite seats to one without (e.g. from Advanced to Essential) will convert all lite seats to full seats.

  • If you’re currently on a contract and would like to upgrade or downgrade to another plan, chat to your Account Manager.

If you pay yearly and downgrade your plan, you'll see that the change is scheduled when your subscription is due to renew.

Managing add-ons

From the Subscription tab you can also:

After you purchase Copilot unlimited usage for 1 or more full seats on your plan, you can then assign the unlimited usage to your teammates.

Note:

  • Add-ons will be enabled immediately and billed on a prorated basis.

  • If you're on a contract, you'll need to speak to your Account Manager about adding or removing add-ons.

Managing seats

To add or remove seats from your subscription, you'll need to go to Settings > Workspace > Teammates and add a teammate which adds a seat, or remove a teammate which removes a seat (unless it's contracted - see below).

Note: If you remove a teammate who was using a seat you've contracted or paid for the year, you'll still be charged for this seat until your next renewal.

Contracted subscriptions

If you're on a contract, you can view your current contracted usage from Settings > Subscription > Billing > Subscription.

You’ll see the total quantity included for your billing period (e.g., yearly, quarterly, or monthly), along with the monthly allocation available to you.

You can add more seats/teammates or increase usage during the month. Any usage beyond your contracted amount will appear as additional usage under This billing period.

If a discount has been applied, it will be shown. All displayed prices reflect the discounted rate.

Note: If you’re on a contract and need to make changes to your subscription—such as removing seats, adjusting add-ons, or updating your contracted usage—reach out through the Messenger and type “Talk to a person” to speak to your Account Manager.
