How does subscription upgrading work?

You can upgrade your Brilliant subscription from a monthly or annual plan to a family plan directly on the web.

Who can upgrade?

Upgrades are available to subscribers on an active monthly or annual plan. You won't see the upgrade option if you:

  • Are currently on a free trial
  • Have a pending trial offer (this sometimes applies to new users within the first 48 hours of signing up)

What does upgrading cost?

When you go through the upgrade flow, you'll see a clear breakdown of what you owe on the checkout page:

  • Prorated charge — the additional amount you'll pay immediately, based on the remaining time on your current billing period
  • Next renewal price — the full price you'll be charged when your new plan renews

This way you always know exactly what you're paying before you confirm.

How do I upgrade?

  1. Go to your account settings on the Brilliant website
  2. Navigate to the Subscription section
  3. Select your new plan and follow the checkout steps

If you run into any trouble, contact our support team and we'll be happy to help.
