All information regarding your current plan and payment information can be found in your Account settings on the Plan and billing page. If you do not see this page or the Upgrade page, please contact the account administrator.

MailerLite has three types of plans: Free, Growing business and Advanced. You can compare the features between these plans on the Pricing page. 

The free plan is automatically applied to every account upon approval which covers your first 1,000 active subscribers and send up to 12,000 emails every 30 days. 

The paid plans are offered on a monthly or annual basis. Each plan includes a specific range of recipients and amount of emails sent allowed. 

  • Prices don't include VAT or other taxes of any kind (where applicable)

  • A 30% discount can be applied for non-profit organizations providing proof of status sent via contact us page

For monthly plans, you can pay with a credit or debit card. It will automatically renew on the same day each month. 

For annual plans, you’ll automatically get a 10% discount. Annual plans also automatically renew until the subscription is cancelled and can be purchased with a debit or credit card.

Note: For the first payment only, some customers will be required to complete a 3D secure authentication, which is an online protocol that helps to prevent fraud in online debit and credit card payments.

  1. Head to the Account settings page.

2. Choose Plan and billing.

3. Click Upgrade or Downgrade.

4. Select the plan that best suits your needs.

If you have an account on a Free plan, you can also upgrade via the Upgrade button next to your account name.

Automatic Upgrades

Monthly plans

Unlike our billing for the Classic app, the New MailerLite billing is based on active subscribers rather than unique subscribers. This means that if the number of active subscribers in your account exceeds your current plan limits, your plan will need to be upgraded. Should this happen, you will see a notification in your account advising the details of the upgrade.

At the time of the subscriber count increase, the system will calculate a pro-rated amount based on the new monthly cost and the time remaining in the current billing cycle. At the start of the new billing cycle, the credit card on file will be charged the new monthly amount.

Yearly plans

Unlike monthly plans, the annual plan is a one-time payment for 12 months at a discounted rate. When selecting your annual plan, you will be able to choose the subscriber limit that you need.

During the 12-month billing period, if your subscriber count increases above the already paid subscriber limit, the system will automatically charge the account's default payment method a pro-rated amount based on the new annual cost and the time remaining in the current billing cycle.

When it's time to renew the annual plan, you can renew based on the updated number of subscribers in your account.

Automatic Downgrades

Upon renewal of the plan, if the number of active subscribers in your account falls below your plan limit, your account will be automatically downgraded to a lower tier. Automatic downgrades can be canceled in Plan and billing.

You don’t lose any money when you upgrade to a new plan before the expiration date of your current plan. 

We calculate the unused time/money from your current plan and subtract it from the full price of the new plan. 

If a plan is upgraded from monthly to yearly, the expiration date of the plan is updated according to the date of purchase. 

The formula used to calculate the upgrade price is: 

Current plan balance - unused money from the current plan = upgrade price

You have the option to switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan, and from an annual plan to a monthly plan. Whichever plan you choose, the expiration date will be extended accordingly. 

Monthly plan to Annual plan

When switching from a monthly plan to an annual plan, the system will calculate the annual cost based on the number of active subscribers in your account and the amount of time left in your monthly billing cycle.

The annual plan will take effect immediately after checkout.

Annual plan to Monthly plan

When switching from an annual plan to a monthly plan, please keep the following in mind:

  • The switch can be initiated in your account, but the change will not be effective until your current annual plan has expired

  • You can only switch to the same or a higher monthly plan tier

  • You will be able to upgrade to a higher monthly or annual plan again once you are officially on the monthly plan

  • You will be able to downgrade your plan after the expiration date only

When you cancel your plan, you will keep your current plan until it expires, but you will not be automatically charged for the next month.

Canceling monthly plans

When downgrading, your original plan will finish the billing cycle (monthly or annual), then the new (lesser) plan will start at the next billing cycle. 

To cancel a monthly plan:

  1. Head to Account Settings, then Plan and billing.

  2. Click on the Upgrade or downgrade button. 

  3. Select the Free plan by clicking on Cancel subscription.

Downgrading

To downgrade a monthly plan:

  1. Head to Account Settings, then Plan and billing.

  2. Click on the Upgrade or downgrade button. 

  3. Select the new plan by clicking Downgrade.

The new downgraded plan will take effect once the current plan has expired.

Downgrading to a Free plan

Users

If you have a paid account with several users, downgrading to Free plan will cause the extra users to be removed automatically. This is because the free plan only allows one user per account.

If a new plan is purchased, more users can be added.

Subscriber limit

Keep in mind that the Free plan has a limit of 1,000 active subscribers. This means that once the account is downgraded to Free, you will need to keep the active subscriber limit under 1,000 to ensure the downgrade is successful.

MailerLite has two types of plans: free and premium. You can compare the features between the free and premium plans on the Pricing page. 

The free plan is automatically applied to every account upon approval. It allows you to use up to 1,000 unique subscribers and send up to 12,000 emails every 30 days. 

The premium plans are offered on a monthly or annual basis. Each plan includes a specific range of recipients and amount of emails sent allowed. 

Note: Prices don't include VAT or other taxes of any kind (where applicable).

For monthly plans, you can pay with a credit or debit card. They will automatically renew every 30 days until you cancel. 

For annual plans, you’ll automatically get a 30% discount. You can purchase with a credit or debit card, PayPal, or bank transfer (if residing in Lithuania). However, annual plans cannot be automatically renewed. You must manually renew them by the expiration date.

Note: For the first payment only, some customers will be required to complete a 3D secure authentication, which is an online protocol that helps to prevent fraud in online debit and credit card payments.

  1. Head to Upgrade or Plan and billing.

  2. Click on Upgrade.

3. Select the plan that best suits your needs.

You don’t lose any money when you upgrade to a new plan before the expiration date of your current plan. 

We calculate the unused time/money from your current plan and subtract it from the full price of the new plan. The expiration date of the plan is also updated according to the amount of time purchased. 

The formula we use to calculate the upgrade price is: 

Full price of plan - unused money from the current plan = upgrade price

You have the option to switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan, and from an annual plan to a monthly plan. Whichever plan you choose, the expiration date will be extended accordingly. 

If you want to change your annual plan to a monthly plan, please keep the following in mind:

  • You can only switch to the same or a higher monthly plan tier

  • You will be able to upgrade to a monthly or annual plan again once you are officially on the monthly plan

  • You will be able to downgrade your plan after the expiration date only

  • Since annual plans include a 30% discount and monthly plans do not, the unused balance from your annual plan is recalculated to fit the new monthly plan’s price. This changes the time period and results in a shortened expiration date for your new plan

  • If you switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan, you won’t be able to switch from an annual plan to a monthly plan for two days 

Head to Plan and billing.

Depending on your account settings, you may see the option to cancel or extend your current plan. 

If you see the option to extend, click on Extend and complete the checkout process.

If you see the option to cancel your subscription, click on Cancel subscription? and confirm the cancelation. This will not disable your current subscription. 

After canceling, you will see the option to extend your subscription.

When you cancel your plan, you will keep your current plan until it expires, but you will not be automatically charged for the next month.

Canceling monthly plans

Since monthly plans can be automatically renewed every 30 days, the renewal can be canceled at any time. 

To cancel a monthly plan:

  1. Head to Plan and billing.

  2. Click on the Upgrade or downgrade button. 

  3. Select the Forever Free plan by clicking on Downgrade.

After canceling, you will stay in your current plan until it expires and then be downgraded to the Forever Free plan.

Canceling annual plans

The payment for an annual plan takes place only once and it is valid for an entire year. It cannot be canceled and prorated refunds are not offered.

Other than premium plans, we also offer a few add-ons or extra services that can be purchased to enhance your email marketing. 

You can find these at the bottom of our Pricing page, your Plan and billing page, or your Upgrade page.
