# How to upgrade

Moving from a free account to a plan: what carries over, the cost, checkout, and after.

A free account lets you fill in your details, choose what you refuse, and preview your page. A **plan** is what gives you a code that reaches that page, and a signed document behind it.

What you entered is copied onto your record when the plan is bought. You do not have to enter it again.

## How much it costs

- **$99 a year** for the first person
- **$50 a year** for each additional adult, up to four people on one plan
- No setup fee, and the same price every year
- Cancel whenever you want

An engraved bracelet or tag, or a plastic wallet card, is a separate one-time purchase.

## Steps to upgrade

1. **Press Get a plan.** It is on [Account & billing](https://app.wearabledocs.com/account), and on any screen that needs a plan. If you have entered enough to make a page, you can look at it first: [See your record](https://app.wearabledocs.com/preview).
2. **Choose how many people.** One for yourself; more if you are covering others. Each person signs their own document and gets their own page.
3. **Check the order.** The cart shows what you are buying and the total, and asks you to agree to the terms of purchase. You can add hardware to the same order here; adding it after you have paid is a second order.
4. **Pay with Stripe.** Your card is handled by Stripe; we never see it. Tax is added on the payment page according to where you are.

## After you upgrade

- **Finish setup.** The setup steps pick up from what you entered. See [How to finish setup](https://wearabledocs.com/help/getting-started/setup-walk).
- **Print and sign** your documents from [Your documents](https://app.wearabledocs.com/instruments). The blank is prepared with your name and your state.
- **Upload** the signed copy. The screen is [Upload your signed document](https://app.wearabledocs.com/upload-documents).

Until the signed paper is uploaded, your record page has no directive on it. That is expected: the legal weight is in the signed paper, not in the account.

## What stays the same

Your record, your address, and your code stay the same for as long as the plan is active.
