Will I be charged for the Smart Plan trial? During your 1-month free trial of the Smart plan: You will continue to be charged at the price of your Basic Plan (€11/ month - excl. VAT) but you will be able to enjoy all the features of your new Smart Plan at no extra cost.   After the 1-month free trial period has elapsed: You will be able to continue your journey on the Smart Plan (no action needed on your side) at a cost of €23/ month (excl.

What happens if I switch to an annual billing plan during my Smart plan free trial? In this case, your subscription free trial will be interrupted, and you will be billed immediately on the annual billing system (for the subscription plan that you selected).   If I switch from Annual to Monthly billing, can I still be eligible for Smart plan free trial ? Yes, you will still be able to enjoy the Smart Plan free trial, only if you never used it in the past.   Reverting to a Basic Plan after Smart Plan free trial has expired If you didn’t cancel your free trial before its expiry date, you will automatically stay on the Smart Plan and your account will be charged on a pro-rata basis of days left until the end of the month.   If you want to revert to a Basic Plan after your free trial has already expired, you can do so from the  Price plan details  within the  Billing and invoicing  section of your desktop Qonto account. By doing so, your account will be credited with the fee difference between the Smart Plan and Basic Plan based on a pro-rata of days left until the end of the month.   If I didn’t have time to use my free trial can I repeat it for another month? Be mindful that your Smart Plan free trial is only valid once and for a duration of one month. Make sure that you activate it at a time when you will be able to make the most of it!   💡 Not sure where to start?
