Billing Cycles, Discounts, and Flexibility
We get it—budgeting matters. That’s why we offer multiple billing options and discounts for longer commitments.

For example, the Professional plan costs $39/month, but if you pay annually, you’re effectively paying about $31.20/month. That’s almost $94 saved in a year, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Also, switching plans is straightforward. Upgrade or downgrade anytime, and charges are prorated automatically. So if your job search heats up, you can upgrade quickly with no hassle.

That said, some optional advanced services come with fees:
