Subscription Billing
You have the option of subscribing to a monthly or yearly plan depending on your preference. You also have the option of modifying your subscription to a different billing cycle when you adjust your plan.
If you purchased a monthly subscription, your account will automatically be renewed every 30 days for the subscription. Mention will charge the primary credit card that is on file for your account.
If you purchased a yearly subscription, your account will be automatically renewed on the following year of your purchase date. Mention will charge the primary credit card on file.
If you intend to change your subscription to a new plan, you will be given the option to choose the billing option of monthly or yearly.
❗️At this time, Mention does not allow you to change the billing cycle of your current subscription. For example, if you subscribed to a Pro Plan with monthly billing, then you cannot change this plan to yearly billing.
