Downgrading the billing plan for a GitHub Marketplace app

If you'd like to use a different billing plan, you can downgrade your GitHub Marketplace app at any time.

In this article

When you downgrade an app, your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. The downgrade takes effect on your next billing date. For more information, see "About billing for GitHub Marketplace."

Canceling an app or downgrading an app to free does not affect your other paid subscriptions on GitHub. If you want to cease all of your paid subscriptions on GitHub, you must downgrade each paid subscription separately.

Downgrading an app for your personal account

  1. In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
  2. In the "Access" section of the sidebar, click Billing and plans, then click Plans and usage.
  3. Under "GitHub Marketplace," next to the app you'd like to downgrade, select the Edit dropdown menu, then click Change plan or Cancel plan.
  4. Under "Edit your plan," select the dropdown menu, then click a new plan.
  5. If you chose a unit plan, type a new quantity.
  6. Review the information about your new plan and billing information, then click Issue plan changes.

Downgrading an app for your organization

Tip: If an app requires organization-level access, then only an organization owner can purchase, install, or cancel the app, and manage app billing for the organization. If the app doesn't require organization-level access, then a repository administrator can install and uninstall the app.

  1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.
  2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

  6. If you chose a unit plan, type a new quantity.
  7. Review the information about your new plan and billing information, then click Issue plan changes.
