We do not offer refunds for payments that have already been made.

If you cancel (by switching to the free plan), no credit or refund will be provided for the unused portion.


What Is a Credit?

A credit refers to the value of the unused portion of your previous plan, which is automatically applied toward future invoices when you change to another paid plan.

Timing of Settlement

Credits are issued when switching between paid plans, including changes between annual and monthly billing cycles.

How Credits Are Calculated

  • Plan fees are calculated on a pro-rata basis (actually per minute), and the total for each period is determined accordingly.
  • The unused portion of the previous plan is prorated and converted into account credit.
  • If the full credit amount cannot be applied to a single invoice, the remaining balance will be applied to subsequent invoices until it is used up.
  • Please note that we do not issue refunds for any unused time.
