After that, the subscription renews on the same day each month.<\/li>\n<li>When the owner changes plans, the change takes effect at once and the difference is prorated to the day on your next invoice.<\/li>\n<li>When the owner turns on a paid upgrade, the first month is charged that day. It is not added to the plan&#8217;s bill.<\/li>\n<li>When the owner turns off a paid upgrade, it stops on the next call and the unused days are credited.<\/li>\n<li>Moving RealDialer AI to RealDialer AI Pro, or between email sizes, keeps that upgrade&#8217;s billing day. The difference for the rest of the month is charged that day going up, or credited going down.<\/li>\n<li>Moving between Email Starter, Growth and Pro charges the new size that day and credits the unused days of the old one.<\/li>\n<li>If an upgrade&#8217;s payment fails, that upgrade turns off right away. Update the card and retry within 24 hours to keep its billing day. Your plan is not affected.<\/li>\n<li>Free trials of upgrades cost nothing. Nothing is charged when a free trial ends on its own.<\/li>\n<li>Calling minutes and caller IDs are included in your plan price.
