Step-by-step

1

Go to the Upgrade page

Click Upgrade in the extension menu, or visit profilespider.com/upgrade directly.

2

Choose monthly or yearly billing

Use the toggle at the top of the pricing section to switch between monthly and yearly billing. Yearly plans give you two months free and all credits are granted upfront.

Yearly plans are the best value — you get the full year's credits instantly and save roughly 17% compared to paying monthly.

3

Pick the plan that fits your needs

ProfileSpider offers four plans: Free, Starter, Pro, and Power. Each tier increases your monthly credit allowance and the maximum number of profiles you can extract per page.

4

Complete the Stripe checkout

Click the plan button and you will be redirected to a secure Stripe checkout page. Enter your payment details and confirm. The process takes about 30 seconds.

5

Start extracting with your new plan

After payment, your subscription is activated immediately. Credits are added to your account and the extension reflects your new plan right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch between monthly and yearly billing?

Yes. You can switch at any time from your account or the upgrade page. The change takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you always get the full value of what you've already paid for.

Do unused subscription credits roll over?

No — subscription credits reset each billing cycle. If you want credits that never expire, use the top-up option instead.

What happens when I upgrade mid-cycle?

When you upgrade to a higher plan, the change is scheduled for the end of your current cycle. You keep your current plan's benefits until then, and the new plan kicks in automatically — no action needed.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You keep access to your current plan until the end of the billing cycle. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan. Any remaining subscription credits are forfeited, but top-up credits are preserved.

How does yearly billing work for credits?

On a yearly plan, all credits for the entire year are granted instantly when you subscribe. You can use them at your own pace. Monthly plans grant a fresh batch of credits at the start of each month.
