# Switch between monthly and annual billing

> Change your Tella subscription between monthly and annual billing intervals.

You can switch your Tella subscription between **Monthly** and **Yearly** billing at any time. Annual billing saves around 50% compared to monthly.

## How to switch

1. Click your **workspace name** in the top-left corner.

2. Click **Settings** in the menu.

3. Click **Plans & Billing** in the sidebar.

4. Use the **Monthly / Yearly** toggle at the top to preview pricing for the interval you want.

5. On your current plan, click **Switch to annual** (or **Switch to monthly** if you're on annual).

6. Confirm the change. Stripe prorates the difference so you only pay for what you use.

## What happens to your billing

* **Monthly → Annual**: You're charged the prorated annual amount right away, minus any unused credit from your current monthly period. Your renewal date resets to one year from the switch.

* **Annual → Monthly**: Stripe prorates the unused portion of your annual plan as a credit toward your monthly charges.

<Note>
  Switching billing intervals does not change your plan (Pro stays Pro, Premium stays Premium). To change plans, see [Switch between Tella Pro and Premium](/help/billing/switch-between-pro-and-premium).
</Note>

## Switching from the Stripe portal

You can also manage your billing interval directly in Stripe:

1. Go to **Settings → Plans & Billing**.

2. Click **Manage** on your current plan.

3. In the Stripe portal, update your billing interval from there.

The Stripe portal is also where you'll find invoice history, payment methods, and cancellation. See [Understanding your bill](/help/billing/understanding-your-bill) for a full overview.
