Lob's premium support plans are billed as a subscription incurred at the beginning of your chosen billing cycle (monthly or annually). Once a plan is purchased, it will renew automatically at the start of each billing cycle unless canceled. If you upgrade to a higher edition mid-month, you are billed for the prorated amount of your previous plan and any remaining balance is applied to the upgraded Edition. If you purchase a plan on the first day of the month, and elect to downgrade the next day, you will still pay for the full month (as you are still able to leverage the full capabilities of the upgraded plan).

Platform status
