Updating Your Subscription Plan
Your subscription plan may be changed at any time!
Changes to subscription plans take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
Here are the steps to update your subscription plan:
- Navigate to your BetterUp account on a web browser
- Click on your avatar on the top right corner of the page
- Click Account
-
Click Subscription
- This page will show your current subscription and any other subscription options you may select from. Select the new plan.
- You will receive a message about your update before confirming your change.
Schedule Switch Details:
- If your subscription is scheduled to switch, you will not have access to pause your subscription
- If you are scheduled to switch you still have the ability to cancel your subscription
- If you wish to keep your subscription before the schedule change happens, you can choose to stay on your current plan on the subscription management page
Upgrading details:
- Your sessions will not be canceled
- If you want to have more sessions before your subscription upgrades, you can purchase flex sessions in your account.
Downgrading details:
- When you downgrade, we will cancel any sessions in subsequent billing cycles that exceed the maximum allowed by your new plan.
- You will not receive a refund for any unused sessions and we ask that you complete the sessions in your current cycle.
Existing Flex Sessions:
- When you upgrade, if you have scheduled future sessions with flex sessions we swap those appointments out with the additional “monthly” appointments that are added to your plan. The flex sessions are then added back to your account.
- When you downgrade, if you have scheduled future sessions with flex sessions we do not cancel the sessions that have been booked with credits, even if you are over your monthly limit.
Important: Bi-annual and annual plans allow the pre-purchase of multiple months of service in advance. Please note, these subscription lengths are non-refundable and the plan type cannot be downgraded.
Pausing Your Subscription
We offer the option of pausing your BetterUp Direct subscription. Pausing your subscription will ensure that your payment will not be processed on the next billing date. Subscriptions will be paused for one month of service (30 days). Subscriptions cannot be changed or resumed within the 30-day pause period. The pause will go into effect at the end of your month of service and prior to payment on your next billing date. Please note that members are not able to message, schedule, or hold sessions with their coaches during the pause.
The subscription will resume after one month of service has been paused and payment for your plan will process. Please note that pausing your subscription will prevent access to messaging, scheduling, and holding sessions with your coach. Any previously scheduled sessions during the pause will be canceled.
Example scenario: Your billing date is the 5th of each month and you decide that you would like to pause your subscription on December 28. On January 5th, the one-month pause will begin, no payment will process & access to messaging or scheduling with your coach will no longer be available. On February 5th, the subscription will resume and payment for your plan will process.
If you would like to pause your subscription, please follow the instructions below:

Canceling Your Subscription
We are sad to see you go but we want you to know that if you choose to return to coaching we will be here for you. By logging in with the email associated with your account and password, you can pick up right where you left off! If there is specific feedback you have to share, please reach out to our Customer Support Operations Team via our support widget so we can gather that from you.
You may cancel at any time through the Subscription page within the Settings of your account. Cancellation is for the next monthly payment and is not retroactive. For example; if your payment date is July 15 and you cancel the account on August 2, the account will automatically cancel after August 14 and a new payment will not be processed for the next month of service.
Refunds are not available for unused sessions, time, or services. If you cancel after your monthly subscription payment is processed, you may finish the month of service utilizing the available coaching sessions and curated content that matches your profile.
If you would like to cancel, please follow the steps below:
- Navigate to your BetterUp account on a web browser
- Click on your avatar on the top right corner of the page and click Account
- Click Subscription
- Click the three ellipses (...) and click Cancel
To cancel via the BetterUp Mobile App, please see this article for instructions.
Upon cancellation, the system will ensure your next monthly subscription payment is not processed. You will maintain access to your account and remaining coaching sessions for the duration of the billing cycle. Access to messaging and scheduling with your coach(es) will be removed after the billing cycle has lapsed. Please note that we cannot guarantee the same coach will be available in the future. The platform, saved resources, and assessment results will remain available.
