If you’re planning to raise your subscription prices, Lede can schedule the increase in advance. Your current subscribers keep their existing price until their first renewal after the increase takes effect, and new subscribers continue to pay your current prices until the increase date.
How a scheduled increase works
Once an increase is scheduled, each active subscription is set to move to the new price at its next renewal. Nothing changes about the renewal date itself — only the amount.
Until the increase date, your products remain on sale at the current prices, so subscribers who join during this window pay the current price for their first term.
What your subscribers see
On the account page, subscribers with a scheduled increase see their normal renewal date and current price, along with a notice such as: “On June 1, 2027, your Reader subscription will renew monthly at $10.”
If a subscriber changes their plan while an increase is scheduled, the review step shows the price their new plan will actually bill at renewal — the increased price when one applies. Canceling and then undoing a cancelation also keeps the scheduled increase in place.
Scheduled price increases are set up by the Lede team. When you’re ready to plan one, open a support request with your new prices and the date you’d like them to take effect.
