Renewing your subscription
Vani supports three types of subscription renewals:
Automatic renewal (recurring)
Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle using your saved payment method. If the payment fails, Zoho will retry before suspending the subscription.
Manual renewal (one time subscription)
If you are on a one time subscription, the plan will not renew automatically. You will need to renew manually before the expiration date to continue using Vani. A renewal option will appear in your Zoho billing page when you are close to your expiration date.

Who can manage billing and plans
Only the Super Admin can manage billing and subscription settings in Vani. There can only be one Super Admin. Other roles cannot access billing.
Transferring billing ownership
Billing ownership is tied to the Super Admin role. If the current Super Admin assigns another user as Super Admin, billing ownership automatically transfers to that person.
What happens to your Spaces after the plan is cancelled
When you cancel, your account moves to the Free plan. Individual Spaces created under the paid plan are archived for the team unless the spaces are given team access.
