FAQ: Billing questions

How does the monthly subscription model and auto-payments work?

Monthly subscription

When purchasing Smartproxy plan you create an auto-renewal monthly subscription. Payments are made on a monthly basis at the beginning of every billing cycle. The billing cycle begins at the date of the first payment.

Your plan will be active for a full calendar month. For example, if you purchase the Regular plan on November 1st, your account will be active until December 1st. You will also be charged for the next month on the same day of the next month.

Auto-payments

Auto-payments allows you to easily maintain your subscription. By creating an account and purchasing a auto-renewal monthly based plan you authorize Smartproxy to automatically charge the current monthly subscription fee for the subscription services (including applicable taxes). This automatic charge to your credit card will be made without any additional action by you.

To alert you about automatically renewed subscription we will be send you an email notification shortly before new billing cycle begins.

Auto-renewal

As each of our plans create a auto-renewal monthly subscription, you are 100% responsible to opt-out of the the monthly subscription before next billing cycle happens.

You may opt-out of the auto-renewal service at any time by logging into your Smartproxy account and following the instructions there.

Each of our plans creates a monthly subscription. You are 100% responsible for canceling your monthly subscription on time, before the next billing cycle.

To cancel your subscription:

1. Log into your dashboard account.

2. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and choose ‘Account settings’

3. Select the subscription tab you want to cancel and click on ‘Cancel Subscription’.

4. After canceling your current subscription, your monthly payments will be suspended. You will get a notification in your email.

5. Any traffic you haven’t used will still be available until the subscription period ends.

Note: Canceling your subscription will not delete your dashboard account.

Nevertheless, the plan you’ve already paid for is yours to use – you can continue using our proxy network until the last day of your billing cycle (subscription period). If you want to start using proxies again, you’ll need to purchase a plan in the billing tab on the left side of the dashboard.

NOTE: if you renew your subscription or buy a bigger plan before the subscription period of the cancelled plan ends, any unused traffic (GB) you have will be transferred to the new subscription period.

If you face any issues or need more information, please contact your dedicated sales rep or email us at [email protected]. We highly appreciate your feedback because it helps us improve.
