Monthly subscriptions operate on a 30-day cycle, not a calendar month basis. This ensures consistent and predictable billing regardless of which month you subscribe in.
Knowing how your billing cycle works helps you plan renewals and understand when charges will appear on your statement.
How the Billing Cycle Works
When you subscribe, your billing cycle starts immediately and you are billed every 30 days. The same date recurs each period, adjusting for shorter months.
Example: Subscribe on January 15th, and your next bills are February 14th, March 16th, and so on.
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
Billing Date Examples
If you subscribe on the:
- 1st: Bills recur on the 1st (or last day if the 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. They are billed once per year with 365 days of access and include a 20% discount compared to monthly billing.
