  • Upgrade or switch tiers anytime from Billing — higher plans unlock more monthly credits, a higher daily Autopilot limit, and features like AI resume tailoring and the Aplyr Inbox.
  • Running low before your monthly allowance resets? Buy a one-off credit pack — no plan change required.
  • Everything (upgrades, downgrades, credit packs, and invoices) lives in one place: Billing.

How to upgrade your plan

Plans run from Free to Lite, Pro, and Ultra. Each step up gives you more monthly credits, a higher daily Autopilot limit, and unlocks more features.

  1. Go to Settings → Billing.
  2. Click Upgrade to open the plan picker.
  3. Compare the tiers and choose the one that fits how much you want to apply.
  4. Confirm to continue to secure checkout, then enter your payment details.
  5. You're returned to Billing once payment succeeds — your new plan and credits are available right away.
💡 Tip Not sure which tier you need? See Aplyr plans explained for a side-by-side breakdown of what each plan includes.

Switching between tiers

Already on a paid plan and want to move up or down? Open Billing and use Manage subscription to change your tier. Upgrades take effect immediately so you can use the higher allowance and limits straight away. Your credits carry your new plan's monthly allowance going forward.

For more on changing or canceling an existing subscription, see Managing your subscription.

How to buy more credits

Each application submission costs roughly one credit, and your plan refills a set allowance every month. If you exhaust your allowance early — say, during a heavy week of Autopilot applying — you can top up without upgrading.

  1. Open Settings → Billing.
  2. Click Buy more credits.
  3. Pick a credit pack and confirm at checkout.
  4. The credits are added to your balance immediately and never expire while your account is active.

📌 Note Failed submissions are automatically refunded, so you're only charged credits for applications that actually go through.

Upgrade vs. buy a credit pack

Both add credits — the difference is whether you want a permanent change:

  • Upgrade your plan when you're applying more every month. You get a larger recurring allowance plus a higher daily Autopilot limit and unlocked features.
  • Buy a credit pack for a one-time boost when you're close to your monthly reset and just need a little more runway.
💡 Tip Autopilot auto-pauses when you run out of credits. If a run stops mid-week, topping up or upgrading gets it moving again. Learn more in Daily limits, credits, and pausing.

What happens to billing and invoices

Plan changes and credit purchases are handled through secure checkout, and every charge appears in your billing history. From Billing you can also use Manage subscription to update your payment method and download past invoices.

⚠️ Warning Upgrades are immediate, but if you downgrade, the lower allowance and limits apply from your next billing cycle. Plan ahead if you have an active Autopilot run relying on a higher daily limit.
