Can I downgrade from an annual to a monthly subscription on MagicPost?
|Yes. On an individual MagicPost plan (Growth or Creator), you can switch from yearly to monthly billing yourself, from the Billing page.
The switch from yearly to monthly is not immediate. MagicPost schedules it for the end of the year you already paid for. Nothing is charged and nothing is refunded on the day you ask for it.
How to switch from yearly to monthly billing
Open the profile menu at the bottom of the sidebar and select Manage my subscription. On mobile, the entry is called Plans.
On the card of your current plan, turn off the Yearly switch. The card now shows the monthly price.
Select Downgrade to this plan.
Read the summary. It shows the new plan, the date it starts, and No payment for today.
Select Schedule the plan change.
Until the date shown, you keep your yearly MagicPost plan and all its features. Monthly billing starts on that date, at the monthly price shown in the summary.
During a promotional period, the MagicPost plan card shows a discount badge in place of the Yearly switch. You then choose the billing frequency with the Monthly and Yearly buttons at the top of the Billing page.
How to see or undo the scheduled switch
Once the switch is scheduled, the top of the MagicPost Billing page shows a notice with the new plan and the date of the change. On the plan card, Change scheduled replaces the downgrade button.
To keep your yearly MagicPost plan after all, select Cancel the plan change in the notice at the top of the Billing page. You can do this until the date of the change. Nothing is charged.
MagicPost keeps one scheduled change at a time. Scheduling another change replaces the one already scheduled. Upgrading your plan or canceling your subscription before the date of the change removes it.
Scheduling a switch on a MagicPost subscription that was canceled removes the cancellation. The subscription renews on the plan you scheduled. If you then cancel the plan change, the subscription stays active on your current plan.
Every MagicPost downgrade works the same way
Moving to a lower MagicPost plan, for example from Creator to Growth, uses the same Downgrade to this plan button. The downgrade is scheduled for your next renewal. You keep your current plan until then, and you pay nothing on the day you schedule it.
A downgrade from the Agency or Team plan to an individual MagicPost plan also deactivates the organization when the new plan starts. Its members go back to free accounts.
Switching from monthly to yearly is immediate
The other direction is an upgrade. On the card of your MagicPost plan, turn on the Yearly switch, then select the button on the card (Get pricing details by default).
A MagicPost window then shows the Payment breakdown today: the yearly price, the proration on your current subscription, and the amount Due now. Select Proceed to payment. The yearly MagicPost plan starts as soon as you pay.
On the MagicPost Agency and Team plans, the button on the card is called Switch to the annual plan. The full steps are in How can I upgrade my MagicPost plan?

FAQ
When does the switch from yearly to monthly take effect?
At your next renewal, which is the end of the year you already paid for. Until then, your MagicPost plan and its features stay exactly as they are. The date is shown before you confirm and in the notice on the Billing page.
Am I charged or refunded when I schedule the switch?
No. MagicPost charges nothing and credits nothing on the day you schedule a downgrade. The first monthly payment is taken on the date of the change.
I was charged for a year but I wanted the monthly plan. What can I do?
Contact MagicPost support. The Billing page cannot reverse a yearly payment: it can only schedule monthly billing for the end of the year. Refund requests are reviewed case by case, as explained in Can I get a refund for my MagicPost subscription?
Can I undo a scheduled downgrade?
Yes. Select Cancel the plan change in the notice at the top of the MagicPost Billing page, any time before the date of the change. You keep your current plan and its renewal date.
