Monthly subscriptions operate on a 30-day cycle, not a calendar month basis. This ensures consistent billing regardless of the month you subscribe.

How the billing cycle works

When you subscribe:

• Your billing cycle starts immediately
• You're billed every 30 days
• The same date recurs each period (adjusting for shorter months)

Example: Subscribe on January 15th, next bills are February 14th, March 16th, etc.

Why 30-day cycles?

We use 30-day cycles to ensure:

• Fair pricing: You always get the full period you pay for
• Predictable billing: Same interval regardless of month length
• Simple proration: Easy calculations when changing plans

Calendar month considerations

Unlike calendar-based billing:

• No confusion with February's shorter length
• No variable periods (28-31 days)
• Consistent value every billing cycle

Billing date examples

If you subscribe on the:

• 1st: Bills recur on the 1st (or last day if month is shorter)
• 15th: Bills recur on the 15th
• 31st: Bills recur on the 30th (or last day of month)

Yearly subscriptions

Annual plans work differently:

• Billed once per year
• 365 days of access
• 20% discount compared to monthly billing

Your billing date is set when you first subscribe. To change it:

1. Cancel your current subscription

3. Resubscribe on your preferred date
