Managing Your Subscription
How to upgrade, downgrade, cancel, or reactivate your Simple Time subscription.
Managing Your Subscription
All subscription management is done from the Subscription page in your Simple Time account.
Viewing Your Current Plan
Go to Settings > Subscription to see:
- Your current plan (Free or Pro)
- Billing cycle (monthly or annual)
- Number of active team members, and how many are paused
- Next billing date
- Subscription status
Subscribing to Pro
Go to Settings > Subscription.
Choose monthly or annual billing.
Click Upgrade to Pro (or Subscribe Now during your trial). You will be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page.
Enter your payment details and complete checkout.
You will be redirected back to Simple Time with Pro active. Any paused team members come back automatically.
Changing Your Billing Details
To update your payment method, view invoices, or switch between monthly and annual billing, go to Settings > Subscription and click Manage Subscription to open the Stripe billing portal. Changes to your billing cycle take effect at the end of your current period.
Paused Team Members
The Free plan includes up to 5 users. When your account moves to Free (a trial ends, or a Pro subscription is cancelled or ends) and you have more people than that, the owner and the longest-standing members stay active and the rest are paused:
- Paused members cannot sign in. They see a message explaining that their access is paused and who to ask.
- Nothing is deleted. Their account, time entries, photos and everything else they logged are kept.
- You can see who is paused on the Team page.
- When you subscribe to Pro, paused members are restored automatically, with the same role they had before.
Your checkout includes paused members in the number of users you are billed for, because they all come back when you subscribe.
Cancelling Your Subscription
Go to Settings > Subscription.
Click Cancel Subscription.
Confirm the cancellation.
After cancelling:
- Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period.
- After that, your account moves to the Free plan. Nobody is locked out, Pro features turn off, and any team members beyond the Free plan's 5 users are paused.
- Your data is preserved — nothing is deleted.
Reactivating Your Subscription
If your billing period has not ended yet:
- Go to Settings > Subscription.
- Click Reactivate.
Your subscription continues as normal with no interruption.
If your billing period has already ended:
- Go to Settings > Subscription.
- Upgrade to Pro and complete checkout to start a new subscription.
All your data will be exactly as you left it, and paused team members come back.
Per-User Billing
Web subscriptions are billed per active team member. When you add or remove team members, the subscription quantity adjusts automatically. You are charged proportionally for members added mid-cycle.
If you subscribed through the mobile app (App Store or Google Play), manage your subscription from your mobile device instead. See Mobile App Subscriptions.
