Upgrading Your Subscription

If you are currently subscribed to Premium Standard through Google Play or the Apple App Store, you can upgrade to Premium Plus directly in the app without canceling your existing plan. If you subscribed on the AlfredCamera website, go to Account Settings in WebViewer and select Manage subscription.

  • Your Premium Standard subscription will be replaced automatically
  • Your Premium Plus subscription will start immediately
  • Any remaining value from your current plan will be handled by the app store

You will NOT be charged twice, and you will not lose any remaining subscription value during the upgrade. 

⚠️ Note:

  1. To upgrade your subscription, you must use the same subscription platform and the same account that was used for the original purchase.
  2. If you subscribed through PayPal, or your subscription came with an AlfredCam, upgrading is completed on the AlfredCamera website. 

How billing works during an upgrade

The price shown during an upgrade may differ from a regular subscription. This is normal, as unused value from your current plan will be credited or refunded, ensuring you are not double-billed and your Premium features continue uninterrupted.

Depending on how you originally subscribed:

  • Apple App Store / Google Play: The app store automatically calculates your remaining balance and applies it as a credit or partial refund according to platform policies.
  • PayPal / AlfredCam Bundles: You will be charged for the new plan immediately. Your previous subscription is automatically canceled, and the unused balance will be refunded to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

 

Transferring Your Subscription

To transfer your subscription to another account, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/gkKFAjkq2C8iqjdN7) with the following information:

FAQs

Can I change the billing cycle of my Premium subscription?

To change your billing cycle, please cancel your current subscription and then subscribe again with your preferred billing cycle. 

If you subscribed on the AlfredCamera website, you can switch between monthly and yearly from Account Settings → Manage subscription — no need to cancel first.

For changes in subscriptions through the App Store, visit https://support.apple.com/en-ug/HT204939 

Can I change the billing platform of my Premium subscription?

Currently, we do not have the capability to directly transfer your Premium subscription from one billing platform to another.

To switch your billing platform, please first cancel your existing Premium subscription through the platform it was originally purchased on. Once your current subscription period ends, you can then subscribe anew on your preferred platform. 

Will I be charged twice if I upgrade to Premium Plus?

No. When upgrading, the app store automatically adjusts the charge based on your existing subscription. You will not be charged twice, and no subscription value will be lost.

Why can't I find my subscription in Google Play, App Store, PayPal, or AlfredCamera Website? 

If you're unable to locate your subscription, ensure you're signed into the correct account used for the purchase—whether on Google Play, the App Store, PayPal, or the AlfredCamera Website. Check your order confirmation email to verify which account you used.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling it?

Google Play subscribers have the option to pause their subscription. For guidance on pausing, please see https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7018481.

Can I still finish the rest of my subscription if I cancel?

After canceling your subscription, you'll retain access to Premium features until the end of the current billing cycle.
