Upgrade your plan

Updated

Short answer

To upgrade VideoTestimonials, open Dashboard → Settings → Billing, choose Monthly or Yearly, and click the button on the plan you want. From Free, Paddle checkout opens, with a 7-day free trial on monthly billing if you have not used one. From a paid plan, the subscription is switched in place and you are charged the prorated difference immediately. New limits apply as soon as Paddle confirms.

To upgrade your plan with VideoTestimonials, follow these simple steps to enhance your subscription and access more features.

Steps to Upgrade Your Plan

  1. Go to Settings → Billing at https://app.videotestimonials.video/dashboard/settings/billing.

  1. Browse the available plans. Each plan card shows what's included and its limits.

  2. Choose Monthly or Yearly with the toggle, then click the button on the plan you want (Start 7-day free trial or Upgrade to …).

  3. Complete the checkout:

    • From the Free plan on a monthly tier (if you haven't used your trial): Paddle opens with a 7-day free trial. You aren't charged until the trial ends on day 8. You get full tier access starting immediately. Cancel any time in the next 7 days and you won't be charged.
    • From the Free plan on a yearly tier: the Paddle checkout opens and charges immediately — yearly tiers don't include a trial (the yearly discount is the incentive instead).
    • From an existing paid plan: we use Paddle to update the subscription in place with proper proration — no new checkout, just a confirmation.
  4. Once payment succeeds (or the trial starts), your new plan is active immediately and any new feature limits take effect.

About the 7-day free trial

  • Available on monthly Starter, Pro, and Business tiers.
  • One trial per account, ever. If you used it on Starter, you can't start another trial on Pro.
  • Credit card required at checkout. Paddle holds the first charge until day 8.
  • Your tier is fully unlocked during the trial — AI features, team seats, branding, everything.
  • Cancel from Settings → Billing before day 8 to avoid the charge.

Troubleshooting

  • Billing page won't load: refresh the page. If it still doesn't load, contact support.
  • Payment failed: make sure your card has enough available credit, then try again. You can also click Update Payment on the billing page to change your payment method via Paddle.

Frequently asked questions

Will I pay the full price if I upgrade in the middle of a billing period?

No. When you move from one paid plan to a higher one, VideoTestimonials updates your existing Paddle subscription and charges only the prorated difference for the rest of the current period. There is no second checkout; the billing page confirms the change and reloads.

Can I downgrade my plan?

From Pro, click Downgrade to Starter on the billing page; the price change goes through Paddle and any proration is settled on your next bill. Business accounts don't see plan cards on that page, so contact support to move down. Going back to Free means cancelling your subscription.

Can I get a second free trial when I upgrade to a higher plan?

No. Each account gets one 7-day trial. If you have already used it, monthly upgrades go straight to a paid checkout, and yearly plans never include a trial. You can still upgrade between plans at any time.

Want to try this yourself?

The free plan includes 10 video testimonials, 20 text, a Wall of Love embed and CSV import. No credit card, and nothing expires.
