Upgrading Your Plan

How to upgrade from Free to Premium or switch between plans

2 min readUpdated Jan 15, 2026

Ready for more? Here's how to move from Free to Pro or Family.

How to Upgrade

  • Go to Settings > Subscription and click Change Plan, or open the plans page directly
  • Pick Pro or Family and choose monthly or yearly billing
  • Click Start Free Trial
  • Enter your card on the secure Stripe checkout page; promotion codes are accepted there
  • Click Subscribe
  • You're brought back to ClapDiet with the premium features unlocked, and your 14-day trial starts.

    From a Prompt

    You'll also see an upgrade prompt when you try a premium feature on the Free plan, such as uploading a lab PDF or logging a meal from a photo. It leads to the same plans page.

    What Happens When You Upgrade

  • Immediate access to the premium features
  • All your existing data is preserved
  • No interruption to your tracking
  • Your health mode and preferences are kept
  • Every payment appears under Billing History, with a PDF invoice to download
  • Switching Between Monthly and Yearly, or Between Pro and Family

    Yearly billing costs 50% less than paying monthly. If you already subscribe, change the subscription you have rather than buying a new one:

  • Go to Settings > Subscription and click Change Plan
  • Pick the plan and billing period you want
  • Click Switch to this plan
  • The change applies to your existing subscription, so you never pay twice for the same days:

  • Moving up (monthly to yearly, or Pro to Family) is charged pro rata for the rest of the current period
  • Moving down takes effect right away, and the unused part of what you already paid is credited toward your next invoice
  • Upgrading During a Trial

    Moving from a Pro trial to Family works the same way: Settings > Subscription > Change Plan, then Switch to this plan. Your trial keeps its end date, and nothing is charged until it ends.

    Upgrade Questions

    Will I lose any data?

    No. All your food logs, lab results and settings are kept.

    Can I try before I buy?

    Yes. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

    Can I downgrade later?

    Yes. Learn about downgrading →

    What if the charge fails?

    We email you a link to update your card and retry the payment after 3, 5 and 7 days. Your access continues for a 14-day grace period while we retry.
