Starting and managing your subscription to a software plan |
---|
Subscribing to a software plan | - Please note that you need to create a project space before you can subscribe to a software plan. Learn here how to create a project space.
- Log into CommCareHQ and go to the project space you want to subscribe to a plan. Click the orange button at the top right of the page that says the name of your project and navigate to the Settings page (“Project Settings”). Choose "Current Subscription" from the menu on the left, and select and confirm your plan. Your project will be subscribed to that plan immediately, and you will receive an invoice at the end of the month (pro-rated from the time you were subscribed on that plan during that month).
- Please note that your invoice will be sent to your Billing Contact. To make sure the billing contact information is accurate, visit your Project settings>Billing Contact information page. If there aren’t any Billing Contact, invoices will by default be sent to the web admin users registered.

Extending the software plan you had as part of an Implementation Bundle | If your service agreement with Dimagi is about to end but you would like to retain your CommCare HQ subscription and keep your existing functionalities, you should follow these steps: - One month before your contract end date, you will receive a reminder email from CommCareHQ mentioning that your contracted subscription is about to end.
- When you receive the email, click the link provided to go to the subscription page (https://www.commcarehq.org/a/[project name]/settings/project/subscription/), and hit the renew button. Choose your current plan or a higher plan if other functionalities will be needed. Using the "renew" button ensures that your subscription will be renewed as soon as your current contract runs out and that there will be no interruption in your use of functionalities. Even if you renew before the end of your contract, you won’t get charged for the new plan until the current one expires.
- Once your new subscription begins, on the 1st of every month you will receive an invoice with the charges you've incurred for the past month. See Monthly invoicing and payment process for more information on payment methods. See Advance payment (pre-payments) and credits if you want to pre-pay for several months.

Upgrading or downgrading to another software plan
| You can upgrade or downgrade to another software plan at any time. Please note that: - The subscription will take effect as soon as you make the change in your project settings. If you change your subscription in the middle of the month, you will only be billed for the portion of the month when your subscription was active.
- If you downgrade to a lower-level subscription, please note that the features that were only available in the higher subscription level will be made inactive.
To upgrade or downgrade, go to Project Settings > Current Subscription and click "Change Plan". |

Payment conditions | - Due date: The payment due date is set at 30 days after the end of the month, unless the monthly payment due is below $100 and your total balance is below $100. In this case, the due date will be postponed until the total balance reaches $100. Your monthly invoice will include the mention of the total balance.
- Late payments: If the invoice becomes past due, we will send you a reminder email. If the invoice is not paid within 60 days following the due date, we will send a warning email a few days before and downgrade your subscription to the Community plan. If this happens, your project will lose the features associated with the previous software plan, however all of your data will remain accessible. Also note that if you have several invoices pending, you can see your total balance in the latest invoice or go onto your project settings (see CommCare Pricing FAQs) and generate a new invoice for the total balance.

| Unless you have a services agreement, your software plan determines the level of support you receive from Dimagi. 1. Community & Standard - use our regular support channels (the "Report an Issue" button and the CommCare-users group) to get general support. Standard plan users have access to more direct email support follow-up. 2. Pro - In addition to general support, you can ask support questions specific to your project's application and content. You will not have a specific Dimagi point of contact. 3. Advanced - In addition to our regular support channel you will have a point person from Dimagi person for app/content support specific to your project. |

HIPAA security: What is the difference between HIPAA security at the STANDARD and PRO plans level? | Our standard and PRO offerings currently include the same security from a technology standpoint (although this may change in the future). The key difference is whether Dimagi is willing to assume liability and sign a "Business Associates Agreement" (BAA), which we only do in the PRO and higher packages" |

Custom reports: What are the custom reports that are offered in the Pro, Advanced, and Enterprise software plans? | - If your organization has a Pro, Advanced, or Enterprise software plan, you have the option to access custom reports in your project space. You must contract with Dimagi to have custom reports built on CommCareHQ. There is an additional one-time cost for the development of each custom report.
- If you subscribe to the "Community" or "Standard" software plans, custom reports are not available to your organization.
- In the future, we hope that other software developers and organizations will be able to build their own custom reports on CommCareHQ.
