How much can I expect to pay if I add more payments?
When you upgrade your Quicken Bill Manager subscription, you will pay the monthly price of the plan you’re upgrading to. However, during the month of the upgrade, you’ll pay a prorated price.
This price is adjusted based on a number of factors, most notably the amount of days left until your next billing cycle. In general, the closer you are to your next billing cycle, the less you will be asked to pay to use the upgraded plan in the current month.
What happens to my allotment after upgrading?
When you add payments, your total allotment increases to reflect that of the plan you upgraded to. Your available allotment, on the other hand, may be different depending on how many payments you've already used.
If you’ve used some or all of your payment allotments, that quantity will be subtracted from your total allotment.
On your next renewal cycle, your available allotment will reset to match the total allotment.
How does downgrading work?
When you downgrade your Bill Manager subscription plan, your current month’s available allotment will not be affected. You’ll still be able to make payments up to your previous available allotment. On your next renewal, you’ll see your available allotment reflect that of the plan which you downgraded to and you’ll also be charged your new, lower Bill Manager subscription price.
