How to Upgrade

  1. Click the Sticklight logo in the top-left corner of your workspace
  2. Select Credits & Billing
  3. Click Change Plan
  4. Choose between Monthly or Yearly billing
  5. Select your credit tier
  6. Complete payment through Stripe

Your Pro features activate immediately after payment.

How to Downgrade

You can switch to a lower subscription tier or cancel your Pro plan at any time:

  1. Click the Sticklight logo in the top-left corner of your workspace
  2. Select Credits & Billing
  3. Click Change Plan
  4. Select the plan or tier you want to switch to
  5. Review the changes – you see exactly what features you lose and when the change takes effect

Upgrade & Downgrade Timing

  • Upgrades: Take effect immediately. You pay the difference between your current plan and the new plan based on the credit difference. For example, upgrading from 100 credits ($25) to 400 credits ($100) costs $75.
  • Downgrades: Take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You keep your current features until then.

Changed Your Mind?

If you scheduled a cancellation or plan downgrade but changed your mind, you can cancel pending subscription changes before they take effect.

Payment Issues

If a payment fails, Sticklight notifies your workspace:

  • Every workspace member sees a banner: “Action required. Payment failed. Update your payment method to avoid losing access.”
  • Workspace Owners see an Update payment method button that opens the billing portal
  • Other members see a Contact owner button
  • The workspace switcher shows an overdue badge on the affected workspace

Payment retries after 1 day. Your Pro plan remains active during the retry period. If the payment remains unresolved after one week, your workspace downgrades to Free.

FAQs

What happens to my credits at the end of the month?

For Pro users, unused monthly credits roll over to the next month – but only for one month. Old credits are used first, so your newest credits are protected for potential rollover. Rollover only applies while you remain on an active Pro plan; if you downgrade to Free, any remaining credits are removed. Daily bonus credits (5 per day) do not roll over.

Can I change my credit tier?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your tier at any time from Credits & Billing. Upgrades are immediate; downgrades take effect on your next billing cycle.

What happens if I downgrade from Pro to Free?

  • Your published site goes offline at the end of your billing cycle
  • Custom domain settings are preserved for 30 days if you re-upgrade
  • Code editing access reverts to view-only
  • Projects beyond the 5-project limit become read-only
  • You can no longer invite members, create invite links, or change roles

What happens if I reach the 5-project limit on Free?

You cannot create new projects until you delete an existing project or upgrade to Pro.

Is my payment secure?

Yes, all payments are processed securely through Stripe. Sticklight never stores your payment details.

Why do I see a payment failed banner if I am not the Owner?

All workspace members see the payment failure notification so everyone knows the workspace is at risk. Only Owners can update the payment method. If you are not an Owner, contact your workspace Owner to resolve the issue.
