How does charge upfront billing work?

  • Updated

All creators are now using subscription billing. If your account was still on a legacy billing model on November 1, 2026, we switched it automatically and emailed you when the switch was complete.

Key details depending on your previous billing model:

  • Per-creation: If you haven’t resumed billing yet, it stays paused until you review your new tier prices. Learn how to resume billing
  • First-of-the-month: Your existing members are still billed on the 1st of each month. New members are billed on the date they join

Charge upfront billing is no longer available. All charge-upfront accounts were moved to subscription billing in November 2026.

What changed for charge upfront pages

  • Members who joined before the switch are still charged on the 1st of each month
  • New members are charged when they join, and then monthly on that same date
  • Your billing wasn’t paused, and your tier prices didn’t change

Learn more, including how upgrades and downgrades work for members who joined before the switch, in How to move from 1st-of-the-month to subscription billing.
