The Billing section of SurveyGizmo 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 SurveyGizmo. 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, SurveyGizmo Account subscriptions (Account Managed excluded) can be purchased monthly or annually. When activating your SurveyGizmo account, you will see the option to select either a monthly or annual subscription.
What happens if I downgrade my Legacy monthly account to free and come back?
Many of our monthly users are accustomed to downgrading to the free plan when they are not using SurveyGizmo. If you are on a Legacy Basic or Professional Plan account you can still downgrade to free, however, as of January 17, 2017, when you return you will only have the option to upgrade to one of the new SurveyGizmo | CE plans.
How do I pay an invoice?
You have two options for paying a SurveyGizmo invoice:
- Pay within SurveyGizmo - If you regularly log in to SurveyGizmo 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.
- Email the invoice - If your billing contact does not regularly log in to SurveyGizmo, 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.
SurveyGizmo 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, SurveyGizmo 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.

What happens if I downgrade in the middle of my billing cycle?
SurveyGizmo accounts and Legacy Basic and Professional Plan 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 SurveyGizmo account, the change to your account status is immediate. The payment is prorated.

@Wanbin: Thank you for reaching out to SurveyGizmo Learning and Development!
I suggest downgrading to free before the end of your paid subscription. Free accounts will have access to 3 surveys as active and will be able to access 100 responses as a whole. SurveyGizmo retains collected data in free accounts so if you do choose to come back to a paid subscription for report power, all previously collected responses are available!
Below is our documentation on how to downgrade to free as well as some caveats on it:

We are conducting a survey using SurveyGizmo.
I only want to use it until May and cancel it afterwards.
If I cancel it, will all the survey data I have done so far disappear? Or is it possible to check the results of the survey after June?
Thank you so much !
— Mike.cordeiro on 04/28/2020
@Luis: Thank you so much for your question!
One would need to process payment at the time the subscriptions is changed /renewed. A single year is the length of service one can pay for up front annually.
I hope this helps clarify!

Hi, my subscription expires on October, can I pay in advance for one or two years?

@Fabio: ¡Gracias por tu pregunta!
Creo que la mejor opción aquí es cancelar su suscripción actual. Esto le permitirá utilizar la suscripción hasta el final de su período, pero la suscripción no se renovará automáticamente.
Una vez que la suscripción haya caducado, se le pedirá que baje la calificación de su cuenta a Libre o que continúe con una nueva suscripción. En este punto, puede seleccionar la opción mensual.

Hola. Tomé una actualización a suscripción Professional que pagué por un año y está próxima a renovarse. Ya que no uso SG todo el tiempo, ¿puedo cambiarla a pago mensual?
Admin
— Dave Domagalski on 04/18/2019
@Claudia: Sí, cuando activa su cuenta, debería ver una opción para ver los precios mensuales. A continuación, puede seleccionar su plan y proceder con el pago. Más información está disponible aquí:
https://help.surveygizmo.com/help/account-activation
Los precios mensuales le permitirán pagar mes a mes en lugar de inscribirse por un año completo de servicio.
¡Espero que esto ayude!

@Christine.miller: Thank you for your comment and my apologies for the confusion!
When looking at the SurveyGizmo | Consumer Edition pricing page, directly to the left of the Scout plan, you should see a toggle to view Monthly Pricing or Annual Pricing.
If you click on the Monthly Pricing option, you will see a $35 per month price for the Explorer Plan. This is a recurring monthly payment of $35 and you can cancel at any time.
If you click on Annual Pricing option, you will see a $25 per month price. This is meant to illustrate what the annual payment would break out to on a monthly basis. If you were to choose the Annual option, the annual payment is due up front: 12 * $25 for $300 ($120 savings compared to paying $35 each month for 12 months).
I'm very sorry for the confusion! I will forward your feedback to our Marketing team to see what can be done to better communicate pricing on this page.
Thank you for sharing this with us!

I'm told that my Legacy Pro account (billed monthly) expires Aug. 1 and that I have to choose a new plan. On the "Plans and Pricing" page all plans but Scout say "$x per month. Billed annually. Save $y with annual". I understand that to mean, that if I pick Explorer ($25/month, save $120 with annual) that I can either pay $180 up-front (25 x 12 - 120) for a full 12 months use, or pay $0 up-front, use the plan for the next (say) 8 months straight, tell you "I'm done", and be billed $200 (25 x 8). Am I right, or confused?

Hi! How can I cancel my subscription? And, can I hire a subscription again in the future even though I cancelled right now?
Admin
— Dave Domagalski on 01/30/2018
@Jay: Thank you for your note!
As SurveyGizmo accounts auto-renew, a credit card on file is required. Should you not want to renew your account, you can cancel before the auto-renewal date - this will remove the card-on-file.
I hope this helps clarify!
