Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay?

We accept all major credit cards, including VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover and more. We offer other custom billing solutions on Enterprise plans.

What occurs if I surpass the limits of my current plan?

The outcome depends on whether you are using a free or a paid plan. With the Free plan, it's not possible to exceed the permitted monthly limits. If you reach these limits, the service will cease to function as expected.

On the other hand, if you're subscribed to a paid plan, any additional usage beyond the plan's limits will be automatically charged. To keep track of your usage statistics, you can access your dashboard.

Can we run as many projects as we like?

Under the free plan, you can have up to a maximum of 3 projects. However, if you opt for the Professional plan, you'll get the capacity for 11 projects (inclusive of one project in the regular price and the option to add 10 extra projects for €29/month each). If you need more projects, just contact us via our Support page.

Is there a required minimum contract duration?

Absolutely not! Whether you choose a monthly or annual plan, you'll make an upfront payment to use DatoCMS for the upcoming month or year, as per your selection. The best part is that you have the freedom to cancel at any point during your billing cycle without facing any charges. Plus, you'll receive a credit for the remaining unused time. This way, you have complete flexibility and control over your subscription.

Can I upgrade my plan mid-cycle?

Certainly! Upgrading your plan mid-cycle is possible. In such cases, the charge will be pro-rated, meaning you will only be billed for the cost of the new plan, taking into account the remaining unused amount from your current plan. This way, you'll be charged fairly for the upgraded features and time you use, making the process smooth and cost-effective.

How do I cancel my paying subscription?

To cancel your paying subscription, you have the option to switch to the free plan. However, please be aware that your current projects might exceed the limits allowed in the free plan. In order to proceed with the switch, you will need to take either of the following actions:

  1. Delete the project(s) that exceed the free plan limits.

  2. Reduce your project's resource usage to stay within the free plan limits.

By following these steps, you can successfully cancel your paying subscription and transition to the free plan.

How do monthly and annual pricing differ?

The monthly and annual pricing options have some differences. With the monthly plan, you are billed upfront for the first month, and then subsequently on the same date every month until you decide to switch to the free plan. In contrast, the yearly plan involves an upfront payment for the first year, followed by billing on the same date each year thereafter until you decide to switch to the free plan.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, we do offer discounts! For teachers, students, and non-profits, we provide a generous 50% off on DatoCMS plan. To avail the discounted plan, simply get in touch with us. Additionally, if you're an agency, you can explore our Partner Program, which entitles you to a 30% discount on regular prices. Moreover, we offer credits for assisting with translations. To find more details, visit our translations page.

Is there a free trial?

The free plan provides access to all the functionalities of the Professional plan but with lower limits on resources. This should be sufficient for evaluating the product in most situations. However, if you still wish to try out the full Professional plan for any reason, you can contact us, and we will be happy to activate a free trial for two weeks.

We power experiences for over half a billion users

We are so happy with DatoCMS. I'm representing Signifly - an agency currently running 20 projects, and will increase with +10 projects per year.
