Changing current Subscription

The AS2 Gateway allows you to change an existing subscription at any time. You may upgrade or downgrade your package, or change the billing frequency.

Upgrading to save cost

As your messaging volumes grow over time, it would be more cost-effective for you to upgrade your existing plan.

Example

Consider a user subscribing to the ‘Personal’ plan paying Annually. Initially the account sent and received around a hundred messages per month. After a few months, the number of messages exchanged starts to increase suddenly to around 800 messages per month. With the current subscription the total cost is computed as follows:

  • Monthly subscription cost: $ 59
  • Cost for the messages included (i.e. 200) in the subscription: $ 0
  • Cost for the balance 600 messages charged at $18 for 50 messages (i.e. 600/50 * 18) = $ 216
  • Total cost per month: $ 275

Consider this total cost with the upgrade to the next plan ‘Startup’. It allows 1,000 messages per month and its monthly subscription fee is just $ 149. So there is a saving of $ 126 in upgrading the subscription at the right time.

Changing the Subscription

You can change - upgrade or downgrade - your subscription at anytime, and without penalties or additional charges. However, downgrades are limited to 4 per year. To change your subscription, login to the AS2 Gateway and click your username at the top right corner of the screen, and select ‘Subscription’ from the menu.
