🚨 Important Note: Prorated billing applies only to Legacy plans (Solo and Professional). If you are on one of Vev’s new team-based plans (Basic, Growth, Scale, Enterprise), or a custom Organization plan, proration does not apply unless you have custom agreements.
What is Prorated Billing?
Prorated billing ensures you only pay for the services you use. When you make changes to your subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, Vev automatically calculates charges or credits for the unused portion of that cycle. These adjustments appear on your next monthly invoice.
Key changes that trigger proration include:
Adding or removing users.
Adding or removing project plans.
Upgrading your account plan.
Adding Users or Project Plans (Legacy Plans Only)
When you add a user or a project plan mid-cycle, you are charged a prorated amount from the date of the change until the start of your next billing period.
Example: Adding a User Mid-Cycle
Initial Setup: You subscribe to a Professional plan ($59/user/month) on September 1st for one user.
Your September invoice is $59.
Mid-Cycle Change: On September 15th, you add a second user.
Next Invoice Calculation: Your October invoice will include:
The full monthly charge for two users for October: $118.
A prorated charge of $29.50 for the second user, covering their usage from September 15th to September 30th.
Invoice Summary:
September Invoice: $59 (for one user)
October Invoice: $118 (for two users in October) + $29.50 (prorated charge for September) = $147.50
Removing Users or Project Plans (Legacy Plans Only)
When you remove a user or a project plan mid-cycle, you receive a prorated credit for the remaining unused days. This credit is applied to your next invoice.
Example: Removing a User Mid-Cycle
Initial Setup: You have a Professional plan ($59/user/month) with two users on September 1st.
Your September invoice is $118.
Mid-Cycle Change: On September 15th, you remove one user.
Next Invoice Calculation: Your October invoice will include:
The full monthly charge for one user for October: $59.
A prorated credit of $29.50 for the removed user, refunding the unused time from September 15th to September 30th.
Invoice Summary:
September Invoice: $118 (for two users)
October Invoice: $59 (for one user in October) - $29.50 (prorated credit) = $29.50
November Invoice: $59 (for one user)
Understanding Your Invoice
Your invoice itemizes all charges and credits for clarity. Here is how to read it:
Prorated Charges/Credits: These lines show the adjustments for any mid-cycle subscription changes. A charge is added when you add a service, and a credit is subtracted when you remove one.
Upcoming Cycle Charge: This line shows the full amount for your next billing period based on your current subscription.
Key Principle: You pay in advance for the upcoming month. Any changes made during that month are calculated and reflected on the following invoice.
Cancellations
When you cancel your account, your subscription remains active until the last day of the billing cycle you have already paid for. You will not be charged again, and no prorated refund will be issued for the current period.
