We offer yearly and monthly plans, which you can read more about on our Pricing page. All our plans are recurring, and if you want to unsubscribe you should cancel your plan before your prepaid period ends (term end).

You can cancel your subscription under the Account section on the Plan & billing page. See this article for more.

When you cancel your subscription, your access to certain Typeform features may be restricted. In addition, typeforms using paid features will be turned private, and paid features will need to be removed from the forms before they can be republished. For more details, see this page. 

Should I choose a monthly or yearly plan?

When you subscribe to a Typeform plan, you can choose to be billed monthly or yearly.

Monthly plans give you more flexibility. They’re a great option if you’re not sure how long you’ll be using Typeform, or which plan will meet your needs best. Yearly plans are a smart choice if you’re planning on being a long-term Typeform user. You’ll also save money with this option: for example, a monthly Plus plan without response add-ons is $59 per month, while a yearly plan is $590, which works out to just under $50 per month!

Note that whether you choose a monthly or a yearly plan, you’ll pay upfront for the first month or year of service, respectively. If you cancel or move to a lower plan, those changes will not go into effect until the end of the prepaid period. Read more about changing Typeform account plans here.

How is my subscription charged?

Your credit card will be charged automatically at the end of each billing period. So, if you opt for a monthly plan your card will be charged on the first day of the new monthly billing cycle. If you are on a yearly plan, your card will be charged on the first day of the new yearly cycle.

After you successfully subscribe to one of our plans, you may see a charge for $1 on your credit card statement.

This charge normally appears above the amount you paid to upgrade. Rest assured that these are not actual charges, and they are reversed immediately. Depending on your bank, these charges will disappear from your statement in anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks.

This is a credit card verification that Stripe (our payment processor) has to perform with your bank: When you store your card to be charged later, Stripe sends a request to your bank for either a $0 or $1 authorization (different banks permit different amounts) to verify that the card is valid.

If your credit card was declined, it’s normally to do with your bank’s automated fraud systems, and not with Typeform or Stripe (our payment processor). If this happens to you, please make sure your credit card information is correct and try to submit it at least three times. If the transaction still doesn’t go through, you will need to call your bank to clear the transaction. Every time Stripe submits a charge request to your bank, the bank's automated systems determine whether or not to accept the charge. In order to determine this, your bank takes several things into consideration, including your account balance and card expiration date. 

Typeform is a prepaid online service, so all services are paid for upfront and before use by credit or debit card, PayPal (in Europe), or digital wallets like Apple or Google Pay.

We can’t support purchase orders, or send you an invoice that requests payment. However, manual invoices are available for users on Enterprise plans. You can contact our Sales team for more information here. After any order or payment, an invoice/receipt detailing the transaction, and showing it’s been paid, is sent to the billing email address for your account.

We accept the following credit and debit cards:

- Visa

- American Express

- MasterCard

Typeform uses Stripe, a well-established, secure, credit card payment gateway service to process your credit card payment.

- Bank transfer

- Wire transfer

- E-checks and checks from international users

To modify or delete your credit or debit card information, log in to your Typeform account, and click on the alias in the top left corner to expand your organization menu. Then, select Plan & Billing:

On the Plan & Billing page, scroll down to see the Payment method box and click Edit payment method:

For more information on how to change or delete your payment method, refer to this article.

If you need a copy of your receipts/invoices to present to your accounting department, or for year-end tax calculations, you can view, print, and email receipts from your account. You can also download your invoices in PDF format.

First, log in to your Typeform account and click on the alias in the top left hand corner to see your organization menu. Click Plan & Billing.

On the Plan & billing page, scroll down until you see the Invoices panel:

Click on any of the visible download icons to see a complete invoice. To view your complete invoice history, click See more.

Invoices will open up in a new window of your browser, and you can save or download them as a PDF from there.

We are not able to amend an invoice which has already been issued. You can edit your payment details by logging into your Typeform account in the Plan + Billing menu. Once you've updated your information, all future invoices will be issued with your last amendments.

Can I receive my invoice at a different email address?

We can only send invoices or other billing details to the email address associated with the Typeform account. We cannot send this information to a separate email address. If you'd like, you can change the email address associated with your Typeform account in Settings - read this article for more information.

We cannot amend invoices already issued. Therefore, you need to make sure to add all your billing details correctly before hitting the payment button. VAT can be added after selecting your country in the VAT number/Tax ID field - find this by editing your Payment details.

Once you've entered a valid VAT number, this will be added to the final price on your next invoice.

When upgrading to a paid plan you can pay on a yearly or monthly basis. You can unsubscribe at any time. Your cancellation will be effective at the end of the prepaid period (when the year or month expires), as Typeform does not issue refunds for contracts canceled before the contracted period ends. Please refer to this article to learn how to cancel your paid subscription.

Please take into consideration that both plans (yearly and monthly) are recurring, therefore, if you wish to unsubscribe you should cancel your plan before your prepaid period ends (term end). You may process a cancellation under the My Account section.

When you subscribe to one of our paid plans, Stripe creates the first invoice and takes note of the timestamp. This timestamp applies when the subscription is terminated. For instance, if you sign up at 8:30 AM UTC on Aug 5, the cancel time will be 8:30 AM UTC on the last day of the term (Sept 5 in this case).

Once the paid plan expires, all your forms that contain paid features will be set to Trial mode and you won’t be able to collect further answers – unless you upgrade again or remove the trial features from your typeforms. In addition, any additional team seats will be removed from your account. For more details, see this page.

We have an automated process which attempts to bill your card several times over a period of 14 days before we downgrade an account for non-payment.

If you get a notification email from our Billing department and update your billing information before the end of the 14 days, our next automatic charging attempt will be successful and your subscription will carry on without any disruption.

If the payment fails after 14 days, your account will be downgraded and you'll lose access to the features in your paid account. 

If you are currently on a legacy plan (i.e., if you are not on a Basic, Plus, Business, or Enterprise plan) and your account is downgraded, you can only upgrade to one of our current plans, not the legacy plan.

Subscriptions will be billed in US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling. If you are outside any of these regions (USA, EU, or UK), you will be billed in US dollars.
