Billing- FAQ and Troubleshooting

The Billing section of Alchemer is accessible to Account Administrator users.

 How often will I get billed?

If on an annual subscription, you will be charged one payment for an entire year of Alchemer. By default, accounts paid with a credit card will automatically renew 11 months from the date of the initial payment. In these cases, invoices are made available in your account's Billing section immediately following processing of the payment and there is no grace period.

If on a monthly subscription, you will be charged each month (the date of initial purchase and the corresponding date each subsequent month). Monthly accounts auto renew.

 Can I pay on a month-to-month basis?

Yes, Alchemer Account subscriptions (Account Managed excluded) can be purchased monthly or annually. When activating your Alchemer account, you will see the option to select either a monthly or annual subscription.

 How do I pay an invoice?

You have two options for paying a Alchemer invoice:

  1. Pay within Alchemer - If you regularly log in to Alchemer and have administrative user permissions, you can pay due invoices from within the application. To do so, go to Account > Billing. Find the invoice(s) with a balance and click the credit card icon in the Pay column.
  2. Email the invoice - If your billing contact does not regularly log in to Alchemer, you might want to take advantage of our option to pay via an emailed invoice. To send the invoice to your billing contact, go to Account > Billing. Find the invoice(s) with a balance and click the envelope icon in the Email column.

 What happens if I miss a payment?

There are occasional times when a payment is missed or payment does not arrive in a timely manner. 

As an Account Administrator, it is important to keep account contact information up to date in the Account Summary area of your account so that we can reach out to you in the event of a missed payment. 

Alchemer will send a series of emails to the account contacts if payment is overdue. 

  • The first email notification regarding overdue payment is triggered the day after the missed payment and is sent to the email address listed under the Billing Info section under Account > Billing
  • After the initial email, Alchemer will send several further emails to account contacts and users over a period of several days. 
  • Finally, an email will be sent to all account users indicating that the account has been deactivated. 

When an account is deactivated, surveys are closed and saved along with any data and reports associated with those surveys. The account can be reactivated again when all overdue invoices are paid and any needed credit card information is updated.

Please contact our support team with any questions.

 Why does my subscription date and time not match up with when I paid?

Our billing system runs at midnight eastern time which might cause slight shifts in subscription start and end dates for some times zones.

 What happens if I downgrade in the middle of my billing cycle?

Alchemer accounts can downgrade or delete their accounts within the application. All other accounts (including Account Managed accounts) must contact us to downgrade/cancel. If you have an Account Managed account contact our Sales team.

Important! Before you proceed, it's important to note the differences between cancelling your subscription and deleting your account.

Cancel Subscription

If your account is set to auto-renew and you do not wish to continue with your subscription you can cancel it. After cancelling your subscription, you will continue to have access to your account until the end of your current subscription term. Once cancelled, your account will not auto-renew.

  • Cancellation is available during the last 30 days of a subscription.
  • Cancellation is only available for accounts that are set to auto-renew.
  • At the end of the paid subscription, you will be presented with options to either upgrade to a paid subscription or downgrade to the Free Plan.

Delete Account

Unlike cancelling your subscription, account deletion is immediate. You may delete your account at any time. When you delete your account, all your data, projects, contacts, and collected responses are deleted and cycled out of our backups.

Once you confirm deletion, you will no longer have access to your account. Refunds will not be issued for unused time.

 What happens if I upgrade in the middle of my billing cycle?

When you upgrade your Alchemer account, the change to your account status is immediate. The payment is prorated.
