Billing Dashboard

The Billing section in Varsuite Core gives you a clear overview of your current subscription, next payment date, trial status and the ability to pause or cancel your subscription.

Trial Period (28 Days)

Every new account begins with a 28-day free trial, during which:

• You get full access to every feature, across all sites

• No payment is taken during this time

• All site plan changes (upgrades/downgrades) apply at the end of your billing period

• The next payment date and amount are displayed for transparency

---

After Your Trial Ends

Once your 28-day trial finishes:

• Your active site plans are billed monthly

• You can still upgrade or downgrade any site plan at any time but doesn't reflect on the billing until the end of your billing period

• Billing continues automatically via Paddle

• Your invoice reflects the current configuration at the point of billing

• Outside trial: Downgrading from Freelance Pro to Solo Starter keeps features until the next billing date, where the lower plan takes effect.
