Yes, you can. If you are subscribing to one of our paid plans, it is possible to purchase additional points, using the self-service interface in your account settings. See the pricing tables for more information on the different plans.

Your plan is monthly recurring (you can cancel it anytime for the next month). The date you signup is fixed and will remain tied to your account even if you upgrade the subscription. Your monthly points will reset always on the day of the month of your original signup date. If you upgrade during the month, there will therefore be only a partial billing for the next tier. E.g.:

You sign up on the 1st of January with a Basic subscription. On the 15th you decide that you would be better served with a Professional plan and upgrade. You will then be billed with the cost of roughly half the month at the Professional price point, minus the same amount of time at the Basic price point. Your monthly points are then at the Professional level, but any points you already used in that month (when you were still at Basic level) are still considered used. So, if you used 100 out of your 250 points at Basic level and then switched to Professional you now have another 700 (800 – 100) points left for the month. If you continue your subscription, they will reset on the 1st of February

Any additional points you purchase are independent of your non-free account status and will remain available unchanged as they are.

Yes, all subscriptions are monthly based. Please see the answer to the question above (How does billing work) for more info.

You can simply cancel your subscription by clicking “cancel plan”, which you can find this in your “Profile & Settings” area in your account (Login here).
