# Billing

> Manage your Smartbills subscription and billing

## Overview

The Billing page lets you view your current subscription plan, upgrade or downgrade, manage your payment method, and access your billing history. Keep your billing information up to date to ensure uninterrupted access to Smartbills features.

To access billing settings, navigate to **Settings > Billing** in the left sidebar.

<Note>
  Only the **Owner** role can manage billing settings and payment methods.
</Note>

## Current Plan

The top of the Billing page displays your active subscription plan along with key details:

* **Plan name**: Free, Pro, or Enterprise
* **Billing cycle**: Monthly or Annual
* **Next billing date**: When your next payment is due
* **Seats used**: How many team members are active relative to your plan's limit

## Upgrade or Downgrade

To change your plan:

1. Click **Change Plan** on the Billing page
2. Review the available plans and their features
3. Select the plan you want to switch to
4. Confirm the change

**Upgrading** takes effect immediately. You are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle.

**Downgrading** takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain access to your current plan's features until then.

<Tip>
  Switching from monthly to annual billing saves up to 20%. Click **Switch to Annual** on the plan details to make the change.
</Tip>

### Update Payment Method

1. Click **Update Payment Method**
2. Enter your new card details in the secure form
3. Click **Save**
