Upgrading or changing your plan
How to upgrade, downgrade, and what happens to your existing menus.
How to upgrade
- Go to Billing: Click the Billing tab in your dashboard sidebar.
- Choose a plan: Compare the available tiers and click Upgrade on the plan you want.
- Complete payment: You'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page. Enter your payment details and confirm.
- Instant activation: Your new plan takes effect immediately. No need to log out or refresh. All features unlock right away.
MenuSquared uses Stripe for all payment processing. Your payment information is handled securely by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
What happens when you upgrade
When you upgrade from Free to Pro or Business:
- Published menu limit lifts: You can immediately publish additional menus.
- PDF quality unlocks: Print-quality (300 DPI) exports become available with bleed marks and CMYK options.
- Branding badge removed: The "Made with MenuSquared" badge disappears from your published menus.
- Team features activate (Business): The Team tab appears in your sidebar and you can start inviting members.
All your existing menus, settings, and content remain exactly as they are.
Downgrading
You can downgrade your plan at any time from the Billing page. Here's what to expect:
- Pro to Free: If you have more than 1 published menu, additional menus will need to be unpublished. PDF exports revert to web quality.
- Business to Pro: Team features are disabled. Existing team invitations are revoked, though team members' edits remain.
- Content is preserved: Your menus, settings, and content are never deleted when downgrading. Only feature access changes.
Downgrade timing
Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. You'll continue to have access to your current plan's features until then.
Tips & frequently asked questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There's no contract or cancellation fee. Downgrade to Free from the Billing page at any time.
Will I lose my menus if I downgrade?
No. Your menus and content are never deleted. You may need to unpublish some menus to fit within Free plan limits, but they remain as drafts.
Is there an annual plan?
Check the Pricing page or Billing tab for current plan options and pricing. Annual plans may offer a discount compared to monthly billing.
