TL;DR: Dashboard → Upgrade your Plan → Select Tier → Upgrade Now. Your account upgrades immediately with pro-rated billing for the remaining period.
Overview
Upgrading your plan gives you access to more websites and higher pageview limits. All plans include the same features—you only pay for the capacity you need.
When to Upgrade
Consider upgrading when you:
Approach domain limits: Basic (1 site) → Premium (5 sites) → Enterprise (10 sites)
Exceed pageview allowances: Basic (50K) → Premium (250K) → Enterprise (1M monthly pageviews)
Expand your business: Adding more client sites or launching new projects
💡 Tip: Check your current usage in the dashboard to see if you're approaching your plan limits.

Upgrading your license at AppSumo
If you purchased your plan through AppSumo, you can manage your subscription directly from your AppSumo account. The upgrade request must be processed through your AppSumo account.

Go to your Dashboard.
Navigate to Pricing → Active Plan.
Look for the AppSumo logo.
If the logo is visible, your license was purchased through AppSumo.

Click on the AppSumo Account link to open your AppSumo account.
Step 3: Expand the Select menu
Click on the Select dropdown menu and choose Change plan

✅ Success indicator: You'll see a confirmation message and your new plan details in the account settings.
Understanding Prorated Billing
When you upgrade mid-billing cycle, Consently calculates a prorated charge:
Credit for unused time: You receive credit for the unused portion of your current plan
Charge for new plan: You're charged the prorated amount for the new plan through your next renewal date
Immediate access: Your new limits take effect instantly
Example: If you upgrade from Basic ($99/year) to Premium ($199/year) halfway through your billing year, you'll pay approximately $50 (the difference, prorated for 6 months).
Downgrading Considerations
If you need to reduce your plan tier:
At renewal only: Downgrades take effect at your next renewal date, not immediately
Preserve existing sites: Complete your current billing period with full access to your existing setup
Remove sites first: Before downgrading, ensure your website count matches the lower tier's limit
⚠️ Important: If you have 5 sites on Premium and want to downgrade to Basic (1 site), you must delete 4 sites before the downgrade takes effect.
What's Next
Now that you've upgraded your plan:
Add additional websites to use your new site capacity
Review your billing details to confirm the change
Troubleshooting
The upgrade button isn't working
Solution: Ensure you're logged in, and your current payment method is valid. If the issue persists, contact support at support@consently.net
I don't see the upgrade option
Why this happens: You may already be on the highest plan (Enterprise).
Solution: If you need higher limits than Enterprise offers, contact support at support@consently.net to discuss custom pricing.
Will I lose my current site configurations?
Solution: No. Upgrading preserves all your existing sites, banners, policies, and settings. You simply gain access to additional capacity.
