# Account and billing

Sign in, upgrade, change or cancel your plan, download your data and delete your account.

Your account holds your links, albums and sites, and your plan decides how much you can store. This page covers signing in, the Account page, upgrading, changing or cancelling your plan, and what happens to your data.

## Sign in

Link in Seconds uses Google sign-in. Click **Continue with Google** on the [login page](https://linkinseconds.com/login) (or **Sign up with Google** on the [sign-up page](https://linkinseconds.com/signup)) and pick your Google account. There is no separate password to remember. Your first sign-in creates your account on the Free plan, with no card needed.

People who open your links never need an account. Only you, the person publishing, signs in.

## The Account page

Open [Dashboard → Account](https://linkinseconds.com/dashboard/account) from the sidebar. It has four sections.

Dashboard → Account

### Profile

Your name, email and picture come from your Google account. To change them, sign in with a different Google account. Your current plan shows as a badge, and **Billing and plan** takes you to the Billing page.

### Email preferences

The **Product updates and tips** switch controls occasional emails about new features, your link activity and tips. Turn it off to stop them. Receipts and security notices are always sent. Product emails also carry an unsubscribe link you can use instead.

### Your data

Click **Export my data** to download a JSON file with your profile, links, albums, sites, tags, plan and view totals. Your files are not in the export: download those from each link.

### Delete account

Click **Delete account**, type `DELETE` and click **Delete everything**. This happens right away and cannot be undone:

- All your links, albums and sites stop working immediately.

- Your files are erased from our storage.

- Any active subscription is cancelled and you are not charged again.

- A minimal record (a hash of your email and the deletion date) is kept for 180 days to prevent abuse, then removed.

Export first

Deleting your account is permanent. If you want a copy of your data, click **Export my data** before you delete, and download any files you want to keep.

## Plans and prices

Every link feature is free on every plan. You pay for more links and storage, bigger files, or website hosting. There is one price list for everyone, in US dollars. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Full details are on the [Pricing page](https://linkinseconds.com/pricing) and in [Plans and limits](https://linkinseconds.com/docs/plans-and-limits).

| Plan | Price | Links | Per file | Total storage |

| Free | $0 | 50 live links | 250 MB | 500 MB |

| Pro | $9/mo or $49/yr ($4.08/mo) | Unlimited | 500 MB | 15 GB |

| Lifetime | $99 once | Unlimited | 500 MB | 30 GB |

## Upgrade

- ### Open Billing Click **Billing** in the dashboard sidebar, or go to [/dashboard/billing](https://linkinseconds.com/dashboard/billing). You can also start from the [Pricing page](https://linkinseconds.com/pricing).

- ### Choose a plan On the Free plan you see **Monthly · $9/mo**, **Yearly · $49/yr** and **Lifetime · $99 once**. Each button shows its renewal terms underneath.

- ### Pay at checkout Checkout is run by Dodo Payments. When you come back, the Billing page may say **Confirming your payment** for a moment. Pro unlocks automatically when the payment clears.

Who charges your card

Dodo Payments is our merchant of record. It processes the payment, handles tax and issues your invoices. We never see your full card details.

## Manage your subscription

Everything is on the Billing page, which shows your current plan and, for a subscription, when it renews.

- **Invoices & payment method** opens the Dodo Payments billing portal in a new tab, where you download invoices and change your card.

- **Switch to yearly** or **Switch to monthly** changes your billing period. Moving to yearly charges your card today, with unused time on your current plan counted as credit. Moving to monthly starts when your yearly period ends, and nothing is charged today.

- If a renewal fails, you see **Payment needs attention**. Pro stays active until the date shown. Update your card under **Invoices & payment method** to keep it.

- Subscribers can move to Lifetime with **Upgrade to Lifetime**. Your subscription then stops renewing on its own.

## Cancel

- ### Open Billing to cancel Go to [/dashboard/billing](https://linkinseconds.com/dashboard/billing) and click **Cancel subscription**.

- ### Confirm Telling us why is optional. Click **Confirm cancellation**. There is no email or phone call needed.

What happens next:

- You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, and you are not charged again.

- Then your account moves to Free. Every link you already published keeps working, and we do not delete files because your account is over the Free limits.

- Your link settings, such as password, expiry date, custom link name and custom branding, keep working, since every link feature is free. New uploads follow the Free limits on links and storage.

- Websites you published keep working, and you can still change their settings, turn them off or delete them. Publishing a new site or uploading a new version needs Pro.

- Changed your mind before the period ends? Click **Resume plan** on the Billing page.

Lifetime is a single payment with no renewal, so there is nothing to cancel.

## Refunds

Monthly, yearly and Lifetime plans are not refundable, including for unused time, except where the law requires a refund. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund the current period. Yearly subscribers get a reminder email about 30 days before each renewal, and any price change is announced by email at least 30 days before it applies. The full rules, including EU and UK withdrawal rights, are in the [Refund & Cancellation Policy](https://linkinseconds.com/refunds).

## API keys

To upload from your own code or an AI assistant, create an API key at [Dashboard → API keys](https://linkinseconds.com/dashboard/api-keys). Anything you publish with a key counts toward your plan, just like an upload on the website. See [Authentication and API keys](https://linkinseconds.com/docs/api/authentication).
