# Account & billing

> Manage your account, plan, billing, appearance, and language.

## Your account

JobBeacon uses [Clerk](https://clerk.com) for account management.

From your avatar menu, use your account profile to:

* Change your account email
* Change your password
* Add or remove sign-in methods
* Enable two-factor authentication
* Delete your account

Email notifications use your notification email override when you set one. Otherwise, they use your account email.

## Notification email

Use **Settings** -> **Notification Email** if alerts should go to a different email address than your account email.

Leave the field empty to use your account email.

## Appearance and language

In **Settings**, you can choose:

* Light mode
* Dark mode
* System mode
* Language

Your choices follow you across devices.

## Upgrade to Pro

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Click your avatar, then click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Plan & Billing">
    Find the **Plan & Billing** card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose billing interval">
    Choose monthly or quarterly billing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Upgrade to Pro">
    JobBeacon opens Stripe Checkout.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish checkout">
    Stripe handles payment and returns you to JobBeacon.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your Pro limits apply after checkout completes.

## Manage your subscription

From **Settings** -> **Plan & Billing**, click **Manage subscription**.

Stripe opens its customer portal, where you can:

* Update your payment method
* Download invoices
* Cancel your subscription

If you are already on Pro, you can switch between monthly and quarterly billing from **Plan & Billing** when the subscription is active.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep Pro access until then.

## If Pro ends

If your account moves from Pro to Free:

* Company and filter limits apply again.
* Manual **Poll Now** is no longer available after setup.
* Outbound webhook delivery pauses.
* Your saved webhook endpoint and signing secret stay saved.

If you are over a Free limit, update your watchlist or filters before adding more companies or filters.

## Delete your account

Account deletion permanently removes:

* Watched companies
* Filters
* Notification preferences
* Job history
* Manual share links
* Webhook settings and delivery history

If you have an active Pro subscription, JobBeacon attempts to cancel it and refund the unused part of the current billing period during account deletion.

This cannot be undone.
