the Subscriptions tab on the Billing & Subscriptions page:
If you then click on Change The Plan, you’ll
see on the next page (Upgrade A Subscription) the preselected Advanced/Premium
plan:
Here, you can increase the number of allowed Organisations
in your subscription. Volume-based discounts are available:
If you switch to
yearly billing, you’ll see on the Upgrade A Subscription page the newly
selected option Annual Payment:
Additionally,
the summary on the right will show both the current and the updated
subscription details.
After clicking on PAY NOW, you’ll be charged a pro rata upgrade fee.

On 14 January (middle of the month), you decide to put one more Organisation
on this subscription. For this you need to upgrade. Let’s take a look at how
the fees are calculated.
The upgraded subscription will cost 90 EUR x 2 Organisations = 180 EUR per
month, which is the fee for the next full billing period. However, when you
upgrade on 14 January, you’ll need to pay the upgraded subscription price only for
the second half of January, i.e. 90 EUR (180 EUR / 2). Half of the monthly fee already
paid for the initial subscription will be refunded as you won’t be using it
after the upgrade. Here’s how the line items of the invoice for such an upgrade
will look:

and from the start of the next billing period (1 Feb) you’ll be charged 180 EUR
per month.
