Copado Essentials makes it easy to view your current plan, compare plans and options, upgrade your plan, and purchase new licenses with a credit card.

You will need to be a Team Owner to be able to change your team's subscription or download invoices for the previous purchases. For more details about Team Roles, please refer to this article.

Managing Your Team's Plan and Licenses

To manage your Essentials plan (aka Essentials subscription) you'll need to navigate to the subscription tab. To do this, go to the upper right corner of the Essentials application and click Account Settings button and then, select the Team and Licenses tab on the left side of the Essentials app. Navigate to the bottom of this screen and click the blue "See Plans and Licenses" button. If you have an existing subscription, it will say "Manage your Plans and License". The blue button will take you to the Plan Configuration details page where you can subscribe to a plan if you are a new user or upgrade/downgrade your plan if you are an existing user.

On the Plan Configuration page, if you are a new user, you will find yourself on the Freemium plan and you can choose to upgrade to a Monthly or Annual paid plan by clicking on either Essentials Basic or Essentials Plus and entering the number of licenses based on your team size.

Some add-ons are available through the self-service experience for the Essentials Plus plans. For example, Data Deploy can be added from the self service portal. To order Copado Robotic Testing Essentials or Copado Version Control (Git-based)--or to request a demo of any Copado add-on--please reach out to your Copado Account Manager through the blue chat button in the lower right corner of the Essentials application. If you don't have an assigned account manager, one will be automatically assigned one.

On the right panel of the same page, based on your choice of plan and add-ons, the cart will total the price. Click on "Next" to go to "Payment" page.

Here, add your account information, billing information, card details, and once done, you can proceed to the payment screen. At any time, you can go to the chatbot in the lower right corner of your screen and ask for help from Lume, our AI chatbot, or a human.

Cancelling Your Subscription

To cancel your subscription click the "Cancel Plan" button at the bottom of the Team and Licenses screen and then confirm your choice by clicking the red "Cancel Plan" button in the pop up model screen. At the end of the billing period your account will be reset to a free plan. Deployments and work done using Essentials Plus features weill be saved by not accessible until you upgrade back to Essentials Plus.

Assigning Licenses To Your Team Members

Once you have purchased licenses, you can assign these licenses to your team members by navigating to Account Settings --> Team and Licenses, where any user's license or role can be modified by an Essentials Team Owner. (see screenshot below).

Billing Information

In the Account Settings >Billing Information, on this page Account Information, Billing Information and Payment Information can be modified or updated.

Downloading Invoices

In the Account Settings --> Invoices, you will find all your invoices (or credit card transactions), to date. You can choose to filter based on date range and status and download the invoices. Keep in mind, you need to be an Essentials Team Owner to view your invoices.

If you need help with your subscription or you have comments or suggestions about the new Essentials purchase experience, please don't hesitate to contact us through the chat button!
