If you upgrade to Pro soon after, its price comes off your first payment." url: https://help.pdfbetter.com/account-billing/day-pass/ collection: "Account & billing" section: "Plans & pricing" updated: 2026-10-18 publisher: "PDFBetter (AI Generated Inc.)" --- # Buy a Day Pass for a one-off job > A Day Pass costs $6 and gives you Pro for 24 hours. It doesn't renew. Upgrade to Pro within 7 days of buying it and the Day Pass price comes off your first Pro payment. Do it in PDFBetter: https://pdfbetter.com/app/settings/billing/ Use a Day Pass when you need Pro for one job, such as a batch of signature requests or a large conversion, and don't want a subscription. It's a one-time payment, so there's nothing to cancel afterwards. 1. **Sign in**: A Day Pass is attached to an account. If you're working as a guest, [create a free account](https://help.pdfbetter.com/getting-started/create-account-keep-drafts/) first; your drafts move into it. 2. **Buy the pass**: Open **Settings → Plan & usage** and click **Day Pass · $6** in the **Credits** section. When you [hit a monthly limit](https://help.pdfbetter.com/troubleshooting/download-limit-reached/), the **Limit reached** dialog also offers **Get a Day Pass**. 3. **Pay in checkout**: Pay once in Stripe Checkout. You return to PDFBetter with Pro switched on. 4. **Check the end time**: **Plan & usage** shows a **Day Pass** badge and the exact date and time Pro features end. ## What you get - Pro features and Pro's monthly allowances for 24 hours from purchase. - When the pass ends, your account goes back to its previous plan. Your documents stay. - Nothing renews and your card isn't charged again. ## Turn the Day Pass into Pro credit If you subscribe to Pro on pdfbetter.com within 7 days of buying a Day Pass, the Day Pass price ($6) is taken off your first Pro payment. You don't need a code: the credit is applied in checkout automatically. If you start Pro with a free trial, the credit applies to the first real payment after the trial. > **Note:** The credit applies once per Day Pass and only to Pro. Because the credit is a discount in checkout, you can't combine it with a separate promotion code in the same checkout. ### Do allowances I use during the Day Pass carry over? Usage is counted per month. During the pass you have Pro's limits; afterwards your previous plan's limits apply to the same month's usage. ### Can I get a refund for a Day Pass? The refund promise covers your first payment on pdfbetter.com. If the Day Pass was that payment, email support within 14 days for a full refund. If it was bought by mistake, contact us within 14 days. ## Related articles - [Compare the Free, Pro and Business plans](https://help.pdfbetter.com/account-billing/compare-plans.md): Free costs nothing and has no end date.
