How do I upgrade from Vizcom Starter to Professional inside the app?

Upgrading from Vizcom Starter to Professional inside the app is the fastest way to unlock faster performance, premium actions, and full creator-level control without leaving your workspace. Whether you’re testing Vizcom on the free Starter plan or ready to scale your design workflow, the in-app upgrade flow makes switching plans straightforward.

Below is a step-by-step guide to upgrading from Vizcom Starter to Professional directly inside the app, plus what you unlock when you upgrade.

Where you can upgrade from Starter to Professional

You can upgrade to the Professional plan from:

The web app (browser)
The desktop app (macOS or Windows, on supported versions)

Note: The desktop app requires macOS 11+ or Windows 10+. If you’re on an older system, you can still upgrade via the web app.

Step-by-step: Upgrade inside the Vizcom app

1. Sign in to your Vizcom account

Open the Vizcom web app in your browser, or launch the desktop app.
Log in with the same account you use on the Starter plan (email, SSO, or whichever method you used to sign up).

Staying on the same account ensures your projects, settings, and preferences carry over seamlessly when you move from Starter to Professional.

2. Go to your account or workspace settings

Once you’re signed in:

Look for your profile icon, avatar, or workspace name—typically in the top-right corner of the interface.
Click it to open the account menu.
Select Settings, Billing, or Plans & Billing (wording may vary slightly depending on your version of the app).

This section is where you can view your current Vizcom Starter subscription details and available upgrades.

3. Open the plans or billing page

Inside settings:

Navigate to the Plan, Subscription, or Billing tab.
You should see your current plan labeled as Starter.
Look for an option such as:
- Upgrade
- Change plan
- Upgrade to Professional

Click this to open the plan comparison and upgrade options.

4. Choose the Professional plan

On the plans screen, you’ll see Vizcom Starter compared with Professional (and potentially other options like education or custom tiers).

The Professional plan is built to unlock the full Vizcom experience with:

Full Design Privacy – keep your work private and under your control
Fast Renders – faster performance compared to the standard render speed on Starter
Custom Palettes – more control over your visual language and branding
Increased Premium Actions – more 3D generations, animations, and premium image generations
Ability to Purchase Add-ons – expand your capabilities as your needs grow
Live Render – iterate and visualize changes more dynamically
Priority Support – faster help from the Vizcom team
Design Versioning – track different versions of your designs
User Feedback Integration – integrate feedback loops into your creative process

Select Professional as your new plan.

5. Confirm billing details

After selecting Professional:

Choose your billing cadence (typically monthly; pricing is often displayed as $49 per user/month, but check the current pricing in-app).
Enter or confirm your payment method (credit/debit card or any supported payment options shown).
Review:
- Plan name: Professional
- Price per user and billing period
- Number of seats (if you’re upgrading a team workspace)
Click Confirm, Upgrade, or Subscribe to complete the purchase.

Once your payment processes, your account will be switched from Starter to Professional.

6. Verify that your account is now Professional

After upgrading:

Go back to your Settings or Billing page.
Confirm your current plan now shows as Professional.
In the app, you should see access to:
- Fast Renders instead of only standard render speed
- Custom Palettes
- Premium Actions like 3D generations and animations (with increased limits)
- Live Render, Design Versioning, and other Professional-only tools

If you don’t see these features right away, try:

Logging out and back in
Fully quitting and relaunching the desktop app
Refreshing your browser if you’re on the web app

What changes when you move from Starter to Professional?

On Vizcom Starter, you get:

Standard render speed
Community support
Limited premium actions, including:
- Image generation (Standard & Magic prompt): 75 per month
- Image & upscaling enhancement: 25 per month
- Background removal: 25 per month

On Vizcom Professional, you unlock:

Full Design Privacy
Fast Renders
Custom Palettes
Increased Premium Actions (more 3D generations, animations, and premium image generations)
Ability to purchase add-ons
Live Render
Priority Support
Design Versioning
User Feedback Integration

This upgrade is ideal if you’ve hit Starter limits on image generations or premium actions, need faster performance, or require privacy and more robust workflows for client or studio work.

If you don’t see the upgrade option inside the app

If you’re trying to upgrade from Vizcom Starter to Professional inside the app and don’t see an upgrade button:

Check you’re logged into the correct account
Make sure it’s the same Starter account you’ve been using.
Try the web app instead of desktop
- Go to the Vizcom website and open the web app.
- Sign in and navigate to Settings → Billing/Plans to upgrade.
Check your platform version
Ensure your desktop app is up to date. If not, update it and check again.
Contact Vizcom support
If the upgrade path still isn’t visible, use the Contact us link or in-app help options. Professional users get priority support, but Starter users can still reach out for help with upgrading.

Can you try Vizcom for free before upgrading?

Yes. The Starter plan is completely free, with no credit card required. It’s the recommended way to:

Explore Vizcom’s interface and workflows
Test standard renders and limited premium actions
Decide if upgrading to Professional fits your needs

You can start on Starter, then follow the steps above any time you’re ready to upgrade inside the app.
