Subscription FAQs
Will I lose my data if I downgrade or cancel?
No, your account and most data remain intact. However, premium features like conversation history may have limited retention on Free plans. Files you uploaded remain accessible for 30 days after downgrade/cancellation.
How do refunds work?
For monthly plans, no refunds are provided - your subscription remains valid until the end of the month you've paid for. For yearly plans, pro-rated refunds are available after the current month ends if you cancel. Refunds are calculated based on unused full months remaining in your subscription period.
What happens to team members if I cancel Business plan?
Team members lose access to the shared workspace but retain their individual accounts. They can continue using AskFLC with Free plans or subscribe individually.
Can I change my billing cycle?
Currently, all plans are billed monthly. Annual billing options may be available in the future. Contact support if you're interested in annual pricing for Business or Enterprise plans.
