Switching from Monthly to Annual

Save money by switching to annual billing:

On Web

  1. Go to Settings → Billing
  2. Click “Change Plan” or “Switch to Annual”
  3. Review the new pricing
  4. Confirm the change

What Happens

  • Credit applied: You get prorated credit for your unused monthly time
  • New charge: The annual rate is charged (minus your credit)
  • New cycle starts: Your annual billing date is now today
  • Savings begin: You’re now paying the lower annual rate
Example: If you’re 15 days into a 20/monthsubscriptionandswitchto20/month subscription and switch to 200/year annual:
  • Credit: ~$10 for unused 15 days
  • Charge: 200200 - 10 = $190
  • Next charge: One year from today

Switching from Annual to Monthly

Want more flexibility? You can switch to monthly:

On Web

  1. Go to Settings → Billing
  2. Click “Change Plan” or “Switch to Monthly”
  3. Select monthly billing
  4. Confirm the change

What Happens

  • Change is scheduled: You keep annual access until your year ends
  • No refund: Annual payments are typically non-refundable
  • Monthly starts later: At your annual renewal date, monthly billing begins
Important: You won’t get a prorated refund when switching from annual to monthly. The change takes effect at your next renewal.

Timing Your Switch

Best Time to Go Annual

  • Early in your subscription (maximize savings)
  • When you’re confident you’ll use Rallies long-term
  • During a promotion or discount offer

Best Time to Go Monthly

  • Near your annual renewal date
  • When you’re unsure about continuing
  • If your usage has decreased

Proration Explained

When switching to annual mid-cycle:
Credit = (Days remaining / Days in month) × Monthly price
New charge = Annual price - Credit
The math is handled automatically—you’ll see the final amount before confirming.
