Can I switch or cancel any time?Yes. Upgrades start straight away; downgrades and cancellations take effect at your next billing date, and you keep your limits until then.
What counts as a source?Each article link you add to a timeline, which Owlester reads and analyses for you. Limits count the last 30 days.
Does paying change fact-check votes?No. Votes and reputation work the same on every plan.
