How to change or cancel your plan

Once your account is verified, you can upgrade your account to a free Hobby plan, Starter plan or Professional plan, or downgrade, by following these steps:

Change your plan type or size

1. From the dashboard, click the Upgrade button next to the top left account menu to navigate to the Plan and billing page.

The MailerSend dashboard with the Upgrade button highlighted.

2. Use the slider to select your subscription based on how many emails you need to send. To select the free Hobby plan, drag the slider all the way to the left. Scroll down to view a comparison of all the plans.

3. Once you've selected the number of emails you need, click Upgrade or Downgrade in the plan type you wish to upgrade to. For Enterprise plans, you can contact us to discuss options.

4. If you're downgrading, simply click Change plan. If you're upgrading, you'll be taken to the Billing page. Enter your payment details and add a payment method. You can also upgrade your data retention period in the add-on section.

Note:

You will need to add a payment method even if you are subscribing to the free Hobby plan. This is to ensure you can pay-as-you-go without interruption if you exceed 3,000 emails in a 30-day period. If you don't wish to pay for additional emails, or would like to limit your account spend, you can set a limit.

5. When this is complete, click Checkout to finalize your plan subscription.

That’s it! Your plan is now active and ready to use. Your monthly email quota will reset on your next billing day.

Note:

If you upgrade before your current plan has expired, the time remaining on your current plan will be automatically deducted from the cost of your upgrade.

On your Plan and billing page in the Your plan tab, you can now find all the information pertaining to your plan including:

  • The number of emails and SMS that you have sent during the current month

  • Your account's over-usage

  • The number of email verification credits you have

  • Available domain spaces

  • Your next billing day

Setting billing limits for your account

You can also set a limit for the number of emails and SMS your account can send over the limit. To set a limit, click the Set a limit button.

The billing limit options on the Your plan page.

Then enter the number of additional emails or SMS you would like your account to send above your plan's sending limit. The additional cost will be automatically calculated.

Switching to a monthly or yearly subscription

To switch to a monthly or yearly plan:

  1. Navigate to the Plan and billing page.

  2. Click Upgrade.

  3. Choose the Monthly or Yearly tab and click Upgrade.

  4. Click Checkout to activate your new plan.
