Common Questions
Do unused articles roll over?
No, unused articles do not roll over to the next month. They reset with each billing cycle.
What happens to Autopilot articles if I downgrade?
If you downgrade below Pro, Autopilot is disabled. Scheduled Autopilot articles won't generate, but completed articles remain in your account.
Can I upgrade and downgrade frequently?
Yes, but be aware that upgrades are charged immediately and downgrades take effect at the end of your cycle. Frequent changes may be confusing for billing.
