Plans, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation
What each Cork plan includes, how yearly billing works, and exactly what happens when you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel.
Cork's billing is designed to be boring, in the best way: one payment a year, no surprises, nothing deleted when plans change.
The plans
| Plan | Price | Active boards | Image storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | 25 MB |
| Starter | $19/year | 25 | 100 MB |
| Pro | $39/year | 150 | 250 MB |
| Advanced | $59/year | 500 | 1 GB |
Every plan includes unlimited cards, share links, exports, and a 10 MB per-image limit. "Active" is the operative word on boards: archived boards never count against your limit.
Upgrading
Visit the pricing page, pick a plan, and check out. Payments are handled by Polar, our merchant of record — they process the payment and send your receipt. Upgrades take effect immediately, and moving up mid-year is prorated so you only pay the difference.
Downgrading or canceling
From the pricing page, choose Manage your subscription to open your billing portal. Cancel or switch to a cheaper plan whenever you like — you keep your current plan until the end of the year you paid for, then the new (or Free) plan takes over. No partial refunds, no early cutoffs; you simply get what you paid for, then pay less or nothing.
What happens if you're over the new limits
Nothing dramatic, and nothing is deleted — ever. If a downgrade leaves you with more active boards or images than the new plan allows, Cork simply won't let you add more until you're back under: archive some boards, delete unneeded images, or re-upgrade. Everything you made stays readable and editable the whole time.
Hitting a limit mid-plan
When you reach your active-board or storage cap, Cork tells you plainly and offers the options: archive, delete, or upgrade. On the Advanced plan (the biggest one), it's archive or delete — or email support@cork.is and we'll talk.
Receipts and billing questions
Receipts come from Polar at purchase and renewal. For anything billing-related the portal doesn't answer, email support@cork.is — a human reads it.
