Subscription lengths
Selecting a subscription plan
Subscription summary
Changing your subscription between billing periods
When you begin your subscription, you’ll be asked to choose between subscription lengths and tiers. Let’s find out what each is so you can make an informed decision:
Subscription lengths
Subscription plans are charged in advance before your billing cycle starts. There are two options available. You can either pay - monthly or annually.
Monthly subscription
If you select a month-to-month plan, you will be charged from the day of subscription for a full calendar month.
Annual subscription
If you’ll be taking advantage of the discounted annual subscription, you will be charged for the full year in advance.
Note: To switch between a monthly or annual subscription, simply toggle to the option that you’d like to choose.
Selecting a subscription plan
At the end of your trial or when your subscription lapses due to a failed payment, your account will be suspended. When this happens, instead of seeing subscription details, you will see subscription options on your subscription page. Don't worry, all your data will still be available once you re-subscribe.
There are three subscription options to choose from Basic, Pro, and Premium.
Follow these steps to subscribe to a paid plan:
Review your organization’s needs and decide on which subscription best suits you. Once you’ve decided, click Select this plan.
Once you click Select this plan, you’ll be prompted to enter the number of employees that you would like to enroll in ShiftCare.
📝 Note: Each plan has a minimum of 5 users by default, and subscription is paid based on the subscription type, per user. Additional licenses can be added one at a time as needed.
You will then be prompted to enter your payment details if you are signing up for the first time.
📝 Note: Direct debit payments are not available
Under the Options section, you can choose to add ShiftCare Connect.
In the Coupon Code section, you can put in your coupon code if applicable.
Read and accept the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at the bottom of the page.
Click Subscribe.
Subscription summary
Once your payment is processed, you can now view and manage your Subscription on your subscription page.

Changing your subscription between billing periods
Subscriptions are paid per licensed seat. Thus, increasing the number of licenses or upgrading your plan will be charged immediately on a pro-rata basis.
On the other hand, decreasing seats or downgrading to another subscription plan will create a credit that will be applied to the next billing cycle.
You can learn more about managing your subscription plan here.
