Who can use this feature?

Basic plans

  • Only the Owner of the subscription.

Advanced, Team, or Organization plans

  • Only members with an Admin or higher role.

If you have more projects than you need or do not need all of the advanced team management features, you can downgrade your subscription.

Changes to billing

After you downgrade, the change will go into effect immediately. The prorated amount of the remaining time in your plan will be calculated and added to your account as a credit toward your future invoices. You can learn more about how Zeplin handles prorated invoices here.

If you also change your plan’s billing cycle (e.g., from a monthly plan to an annual plan), the start date for your billing cycle will update to the date you made this change.

Downgrading from the Organization plan to the Advanced plan

To downgrade your Organization plan subscription, go to your workspace’s Billing page and select “Change plan” to see the plans.

In the change plan window, you’ll see the Advanced plan under the “🌳 Pay per seat” section. Choose either monthly or annual billing period, and then click the “Switch to plan” button under the Advanced plan.

Changes to projects

Since the Advanced plan comes with limited project slots, downgrading your subscription will affect the number of active projects you can own. When you downgrade your plan and own more than 50 projects and 50 styleguides, Zeplin will automatically archive any excess projects/styleguides based on the activity date.

Archived projects/styleguides are stored securely in the cloud, and you can reactivate them anytime when you have enough slots. You can learn more about activating archived projects here.

Changes to member roles

All your projects, styleguides, and member roles will transfer along. However, you will no longer be able to access some advanced member permissions (ex. tags). Since the Developer role is not available in the Team plan, the roles of any Developers in your workspace be changed to Editor.

Downgrading from the Advanced, Team, or Organization plan to a Basic plan

To downgrade your Advanced, Team, or Organization plan subscription, go to your workspace’s Billing page and select “Change plan” to see the plans.

In the change plan window, choose either monthly or annual billing period, select how many active projects you want by using the project boxes under the “🪴 Pay per project”, Basic plan section, and then click the “Switch to plan” button.

Changes to projects

When you downgrade your workspace plan to a Basic plan, your projects and styleguides will be moved to your personal workspace and your team workspace will be deleted.

If you own more active projects and styleguides than your new plan offers, Zeplin will automatically archive any excess based on the activity date.

Archived projects/styleguides are stored securely in the cloud, and you can reactivate them anytime when you have enough slots. You can learn more about activating archived projects here.

Changes to member roles

Basic plans offer unlimited members in projects/styleguides. When you downgrade, all your projects, styleguides, and members will transfer along. However, you will no longer have access to a team workspace, thus the workspace members page to manage your project members and advanced user roles. You can check out the roles that a Basic plan offers here.

Downgrading to a Basic plan with fewer projects

To downgrade your Basic plan subscription, go to the Billing tab on your Profile page and click the “Change plan" button.

In the change plan window, choose either monthly or annual billing period, use the project boxes under the “🪴 Pay per project”, Basic plan section to select your desired number of projects. Then, click the “Update number of projects” button.

Changes to projects

Since your new plan comes with fewer project slots, downgrading your subscription will affect the number of active projects you can own. If you own more active projects and styleguides than your new plan offers, Zeplin will automatically archive any excess based on the activity date.

Archived projects/styleguides are stored securely in the cloud and you can reactivate them anytime when you have enough slots. You can learn more about activating archived projects here.

Changes to member roles

There are no changes to members or their roles since you can invite unlimited members on the Basic plans.
