Here are answers to the most frequently asked billing and payment questions.
Common Causes of Billing Confusion
- Unexpected charge amount -- Usually caused by proration when upgrading or downgrading mid-cycle.
- Payment failed -- Card expired, insufficient funds, or bank decline.
- Trial questions -- Unsure when trial ends or what happens after.
- Refund requests -- Need to understand the refund policy.
- Invoice questions -- Cannot find invoices or need different billing details.
How to Fix
How does proration work?
When you upgrade mid-billing cycle, DreamFlow charges you the difference between your current plan and the new plan for the remaining days. When you downgrade, the credit is applied to your next invoice.
My payment failed. What happens?
- DreamFlow sends you an email notification immediately.
- We retry the payment automatically on days 1, 3, and 7.
- During this grace period, your workspace remains fully functional.
- If payment is not resolved within 7 days, your account is paused (read-only mode).
- Update your payment method at Settings > Billing to resolve immediately.
How does the free trial work?
- Your trial gives you full access to Scale-tier features for 14 days.
- No credit card is required to start.
- You will receive email reminders at 7 days and 2 days before your trial ends.
- After the trial, choose a plan to continue. Your data is preserved for 30 days.
Can I get a refund?
DreamFlow offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment. After that, we do not offer refunds for partial months, but you can cancel anytime and your plan continues until the end of the billing period.
