Upgrading Your Plan
How to upgrade your Outlier subscription and what happens to your data
Upgrading your plan takes effect immediately, giving you instant access to higher limits and new features.
How to Upgrade#
- Go to Settings in your dashboard
- Click Billing or Manage Subscription
- Select the plan you want to upgrade to
- Complete payment through Stripe
You'll have immediate access to your new plan's features.
Prorated Billing#
When you upgrade mid-cycle, you only pay the difference:
Example: You're on Creator ($29/mo) and upgrade to Pro ($79/mo) halfway through your billing cycle.
- You've already paid $29 for the full month
- You get credit for the unused portion (~$14.50)
- You pay the difference for Pro for the remaining time (~$25)
- Next month, you pay the full Pro price ($79)
Stripe handles this calculation automatically.
What Happens to Your Data#
Everything transfers:
- All bookmarks remain intact
- Competitor channels stay tracked
- Pipeline videos keep their status
- Generated thumbnails remain accessible
