We recommend a yearly subscription — it is the cheaper way to pay, and the plan switch shows you exactly how much you save. But if you would rather be billed month by month, you can change the billing period yourself in the app.
Change the billing period
Click your name at the bottom of the left sidebar and choose Subscription. (Only account Owners see this tab.)
Click Change plan.
Above the plan columns, switch to Monthly billing. The prices in every column are now the monthly ones.
Find the column you are on now. Because you are changing the period and not the plan, it no longer says Current plan — click Choose plan on it, and keep the same size in the Plan size dropdown if you want the same allowance.
Go through Billing and Payment, then check the Summary: Billing period should read Monthly.
Click Pay & switch plan.
The dialog tells you what happens to the money: Upgrades and downgrades are prorated; the exact amount is finalized at payment. — the amount shown on the summary is the plan price, and the final, prorated amount is settled when the payment goes through.
