How to Upgrade Your Subscription

Step-by-step instructions for upgrading from Free to Pro, Pro to Firm, or adding seats — with notes on prorated billing.

Upgrading your CaliforniaCourtIntel subscription takes under a minute and gives you instant access to the new tier's features.

Step 1 — Open billing settings. Go to Settings in the left sidebar, then click Billing. Alternatively, click the Upgrade button that appears when you hit a Free or Pro tier limit.

Step 2 — Choose your new plan. The plan selection page shows all available tiers with a feature comparison. Select the plan you want to move to. If you are on a Free plan, you will see Pro and Firm options. If you are on Pro, you will see the Firm option.

Step 3 — Review prorated charges. CaliforniaCourtIntel prorates upgrades automatically. If you upgrade from Pro to Firm midway through a billing month, you will be charged only for the remaining days at the Firm rate, minus a credit for the unused Pro days. The prorated amount is shown before you confirm.

Step 4 — Confirm payment. Your card on file will be charged the prorated amount immediately. If no card is on file, you will be prompted to add one. All payments are processed by Stripe. CaliforniaCourtIntel does not store your full card number.

Step 5 — Access new features. New features are available immediately after upgrading. AI Chat limits, briefing access, and prediction quotas reset to the new plan's allocation at the moment of upgrade — you do not have to wait for the next billing cycle.

Adding firm seats. If you are on the Firm plan and want to add seats for additional attorneys, go to Settings, then Team, then Add Members. Enter the email addresses of team members to invite. Each new seat is billed at the per-seat rate and prorated to the current billing period.
