Your subscription changes and pricing show on the right.

NOTE: You're not able to add a new subscription to your product if it's for another business. You'll need to sign up for a new account.

Change a subscription >

Depending on the product, you can change your subscription in the following ways:

Sage Accounting - While you can upgrade your subscription at any time, you cannot downgrade it. For example, go from Accounting Plus to Accounting Start. This is because your data gets formatted for the features in the higher tier product. It can't get reformatted for use with a lower tier.
Sage Accounting Individual - You can downgrade from the paid plan to the free plan if you haven't exceeded the number of bank accounts allowed or the attachment storage limit
Sage Payroll. You can add or remove employees any time. Keep in mind that the number of active employees you have in Payroll must match the subscription level. For example, if you have 25 active employees, you cannot change your subscription to 5-10 employees. Find out more about changes to Sage Payroll billing
