Upgrade Your Subscription

In today’s digital age, subscription services have become a cornerstone of convenience and accessibility. Whether it's streaming content, software services, or digital publications, opting for an annual subscription can often bring significant benefits. This guide walks you through the seamless process of upgrading your subscription from monthly to annual across various platforms—Roku, Android, iOS, and Web—ensuring you maximize savings and efficiency.

Why Upgrade to Annual?

Transitioning from a monthly to an annual subscription offers several advantages:

• Cost Efficiency: Annual subscriptions typically offer discounted rates compared to monthly plans, translating into savings over time.

• Convenience: Enjoy uninterrupted service without the hassle of monthly renewals.

• Streamlined Management: Simplify budgeting and planning with less frequent billing cycles.

How It Works: The Upgrade Process

1. Immediate Activation:

Upon opting to upgrade, your subscription to the annual plan takes effect immediately. This ensures you swiftly begin enjoying the benefits of extended service and savings.

2. Pro-Rated Adjustment:

If you decide to upgrade mid-cycle (within the current month of your monthly subscription), the system calculates a pro-rated credit for the unused portion of your current month's subscription. This credit is applied towards the cost of the annual subscription, optimizing your financial transition.
