Your billing interval is how often Churn.io charges you for your Pro plan — either Monthly or Yearly. Both options give you exactly the same features and the same churn-volume tier; the only difference is how often you pay and how much you save. This article explains the difference, how prices are shown, and how to switch between intervals.
The two billing options
When you pick a paid plan, you choose how you want to be billed:
Monthly — you pay the monthly price every month. Most flexible if you want to change or cancel often.
Yearly — you pay once for the whole year and save 20% compared with paying month by month. The yearly option is labelled Yearly · save 20% in the plan picker.
Both intervals unlock the full Pro feature set — unlimited active cancellation flows, A/B testing, custom domains, and the removal of the "Powered by Churn.io" badge. Switching interval never changes which features you have access to.
How prices are shown
In the plan picker, both options are shown as a per-month figure so they're easy to compare side by side. On annual billing that figure is the monthly equivalent of the yearly price — roughly 20% lower than the monthly rate.
On the Billing tab in Settings, your current plan card shows the price the way you're actually charged:
On Monthly billing it shows the price as /mo (the amount taken each month).
On Yearly billing it shows the full annual charge as /yr (the single amount taken each year).
Churn volume and your allowance
Churn.io plans are sized by the churn volume (cancelled and downgraded revenue) we measure from your connected billing platform. Your billing interval changes how that allowance is measured:
On Monthly billing, your tier's churn-volume ceiling applies each month.
On Yearly billing, your allowance is pooled into a single annual allocation. The Usage tab shows how much of that yearly allocation you've used, how much remains, and when the period ends — so a quiet month and a busy month even out across the year.
💡 Tip
If your churn volume varies a lot from month to month, yearly billing can be more forgiving — and cheaper — because your allowance is averaged across the full year instead of reset every month.
Switching between monthly and yearly
You can switch your billing interval at any time from the Billing tab.
Open Settings and go to the Billing tab.
On your current plan card, use the Monthly / Yearly toggle to choose the interval you want.
A confirmation dialog appears showing the new price and the date the change takes effect. Review it, then choose Confirm switch.
You can also change your interval while changing tier: open the Change plan dialog, pick your tier, and use the Monthly / Yearly toggle there before confirming.
When the switch takes effect
An interval switch is scheduled rather than applied right away. The new billing interval — and its price — takes effect on your next billing date, at the end of your current cycle. You keep what you're already paying for until then, with no extra charge on the day you switch.
While a switch is scheduled, the Billing tab shows a note telling you what your plan will change to and when. If you change your mind, you can cancel a scheduled change before it takes effect and stay on your current interval.
⚠️ Switching to yearly is locked in until renewal
When you confirm a switch to yearly billing, you'll be charged the full annual amount on your next billing date, and that choice can't be reversed until your next renewal. Make sure yearly is the right fit before confirming.
⚠️ You can't switch during a trial
If you're still on a trial, you can't change your billing interval yet. You'll be able to switch once your trial ends and billing begins.
Need help choosing?
As a rule of thumb: choose Monthly if you want maximum flexibility, or Yearly if you're committed to Churn.io and want to save 20% and smooth out your churn-volume allowance across the year. You can always start on monthly and switch to yearly later from the Billing tab.
