I upgraded but still see the Free plan

Paid for a plan but your account still shows Free? Here are the two most common causes and how to fix them.

Two most common causes

There are two reasons why your account may still show the Free plan after payment:

  1. Browser cache — Your payment went through and the account is upgraded, but your browser is still displaying old data.

  2. Different email address — The email used at checkout is different from the one you're currently logged in with. This is the most common cause.

Case 1: Browser cache issue

Step 1: Log out and log back in

  1. Select Log out in the left sidebar on the dashboard

  2. Log back in and check your plan status on the dashboard

Step 2: Clear your browser cache

If logging out didn't help:

  • Chrome / Edge: Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or ⌘ + Shift + Delete (Mac) → select "Cached images and files" → Clear

  • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + Delete → select "Cache" → Clear

  • Safari: Develop menu → Empty Caches

Log back in after clearing the cache and check again.

Step 3: Try Incognito / Private mode

Open MicMonster in a private/incognito window. If your plan shows correctly there, the issue is browser cache — Step 2 will fix it permanently.


Case 2 — Different email at checkout

If you completed payment using a different email address than the one you're logged in with, your upgrade is attached to the other account.

To verify and fix this, please contact support with one of the following:

  • Your invoice / payment receipt (attach the file or forward the email), or

  • The last 4 digits of the card used for payment

Our team will locate your payment, match it to the correct account, and follow up with you directly.

📧 Contact support via chatbox or email [email protected]

Not sure which case applies to you?

Check your inbox for a payment confirmation email from MicMonster or your payment provider. The email address on that receipt is the one linked to your upgraded account.

  • If it matches your login → Case 1 (cache). Follow the steps above.

  • If it's a different email → Case 2. Contact support with your invoice or last 4 card digits.
