# Plans and Billing

The [Plans & Billing](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/auction-plus/plans) page in Auction Plus lists current pricing, feature limits, and upgrade options.

All paid plans include a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

The downgrade will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

## Billing Cycles & Shopify Invoicing

All billing for Auction Plus is managed by Shopify. There are two billing cycles to be aware of:

* **App billing cycle** -- Auction Plus runs on its own 30-day billing cycle, starting after your free trial ends.
* **Shopify billing cycle** -- Shopify collects all app charges and bills them together on your store's billing date.

Because these two cycles are independent, there is often a delay between when an app charge is incurred and when it appears on your Shopify invoice.

If you see a charge after canceling your plan, this is due to the separate billing cycles. It reflects your final period of service that had not yet been billed, and is not a duplicate charge or a charge for a new billing period.
