After Your Upgrade
Once your upgrade is complete:
- All features for your new plan are available immediately
- Your purchase appears in the Purchase History in Settings → Your plan
- A Stripe receipt is available via the Invoice link in your purchase history

Troubleshooting
I purchased via AppSumo but the "Buy now" button shows on the Pricing page
If you see "Buy now" instead of "Upgrade at AppSumo," your AppSumo license may not be activated. Go to the Products page of your AppSumo account and activate your license first.
I see "You are already on this plan or a higher plan"
This means you already have the plan you are trying to purchase, or a higher-tier plan. Check your current plan in Settings → Your plan.
My payment did not go through
- Verify your card details and try again
- Try a different payment method
- If the issue persists, contact support at support@tidycal.com
I upgraded but my new features aren't showing
- Refresh the page or log out and back in
- Check Settings → Your plan to confirm your plan was updated
- If your plan still shows as Free, contact support at support@tidycal.com
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the upgrade a one-time payment or a subscription?
All TidyCal plans are one-time lifetime payments. There are no recurring charges or subscriptions.
Can I get a refund after upgrading?
Yes. Stripe purchases include a 60-day refund window. You can request a full refund or downgrade from your Settings → Your plan page. See Refunds for details.
I purchased on AppSumo. Can I upgrade via Stripe instead?
No. If you have an AppSumo license, you must upgrade through AppSumo. The Stripe checkout is only available to users who registered directly on tidycal.com.
Why is the Individual to Agency upgrade only $50?
The $50 upgrade price reflects the difference between the Individual Plan ($29) and Agency Plan ($79). You only pay the difference, not the full Agency price.
