How to subscribe

Move from the free Hobby plan to a Pro team, with a 14-day trial, Stripe checkout, or GitHub Marketplace — and manage the subscription afterwards.

Paid plans belong to teams, not to personal accounts. A personal account stays on the free Hobby plan forever, so upgrading means creating a team on the Pro plan and transferring your projects to it.

Your first team starts on a 14-day Pro trial, with no credit card required. If you have already used your trial, you go straight to Stripe Checkout instead.

Upgrade a Hobby account to a Pro team

1

Create a team

From your personal account, go to Settings → Billing and select Create a Team.

2

Name the team and continue

Enter a team name, then select Continue. The line above the button tells you what happens next.

If you have never used the Pro trial, the team is created immediately on a 14-day trial — no payment details are asked for.

If you have already used your trial, you are redirected to Stripe Checkout to complete the subscription before the team becomes usable.

The optional Let @your-domain emails join this team checkbox only appears if you have a verified company email address. It can be changed later in the team settings.

3

Transfer your projects

Your existing projects stay on your personal account until you move them. For each project, go to Settings → Transfer Project, select Transfer, then pick the new team.

The next screen lists the builds and screenshots that will move, and confirms the plan change, before you select Transfer.

Add a payment method

During the trial, the team's Settings → Billing page shows how many days are left. Select Add a payment method to open the Stripe portal and enter your card — without it, the team loses access to team features when the trial ends.

The Pro plan's base price is charged at the start of each billing period. Extra screenshots beyond the included volume are billed at the end of the period, based on actual usage. See Usage & spend management.

Subscribe through GitHub Marketplace

To pay through your GitHub invoice instead of a card, start the subscription from the Argos page on GitHub Marketplace. Make sure you upgrade the correct organization.

GitHub does not allow invoiced GitHub accounts to purchase paid plans on the Marketplace. If you see the error "Unfortunately, invoiced customers cannot purchase paid plans on the GitHub Marketplace", subscribe through Stripe instead.

Subscribe a team whose trial has expired

If a team's trial has expired or its subscription was canceled, a banner at the top of the team pages offers a Subscribe button, which opens Stripe Checkout. A team that has never extended its trial also gets an Extend trial button there.

Manage your subscription

To view invoices, update your payment method, or cancel your plan, go to the team's Settings → Billing and select Manage subscription.

You are redirected to your payment provider — the Stripe customer portal, or GitHub Marketplace if you subscribed there.
