Upgrade & Refill Account

After the initial trial period, if you are satisfied with our product and wish to continue to use the platform, your account should be upgraded to the billing one. The conversion will additionally remove any limitations and provide access to all of the available functionality.

Tip: If you don’t have an account yet, choose the most suitable service provider for you (based on the geolocation, performance, support quality, etc.) and sign up for a free trial.

The platform will automatically send the confirmation email, so just follow the provided instructions (an additional captcha or SMS verification may be required).

1. Log into the platform dashboard and click the Upgrade Account button at the top.
