Updating Your Billing Information
Account owners can update their billing address and payment information from the Plan & Billing section of their Dashboard.
If you are not paying by credit card, but need to update your billing address, you can reach out to our support team via the chat widget in the Builder or by submitting this form.
Sales Tax
As of late summer, 2021 Knack will begin to calculate and collect sales tax on applicable accounts. Currently, Knack is only working on collecting sales tax against US accounts located in states that require sales tax collection on the sale of SaaS products, like Knack.
Regardless of location, each Knack account is required to provide a billing address. The account’s billing address will allow Knack to properly evaluate whether or not we need to include sales tax for your subscription as an adjustment to your regular bill.
Tax-Exempt Status
Tax exemption is available for Knack accounts associated with qualifying tax exempt organizations.
How do I tell if my account is taxed?
In the Billing section of the Knack Dashboard, you will find a label identifying your account’s tax-exemption status. Your account will fall under one of these two statuses:
-
Tax Exempt: This account is tax exempt.
-
This means we have verified with the IRS that this account is associated with a qualifying tax exempt organization. As such, sales tax will not be applied to this account's subscription costs.
-
-
Non-Tax Exempt: Your account is liable for sales tax.
-
This means sales tax will be calculated and applied to your subscription cost, if you live in a US state the requires sales tax collections on the sales of SaaS products.
-
Who qualifies for a Tax Exempt status?
Accounts associated with a qualifying tax exempt organization according to the IRS can apply for tax exemption. Qualifying organizations commonly include:
-
Non-profits
-
Educational institutions
-
Government organization
How do I apply for a Tax Exempt status?
If you are a tax-exempt organization and would like your account flagged as tax-exempt, you can apply for tax exemption here.
Note: If you live outside of the US or in a US state where we are not liable for collecting sales tax, sales tax will not be included in your subscription payments or invoices. If these stipulations apply to you, you do not need to apply for tax exemption.
How do I know if my tax exempt application was approved?
Once your application is submitted, our team will review your account and, if approved, update your account's tax exemption status in the Plan & Billing section of the Knack Dashboard.
Please note that it may take us as long as a week to review your application. We will be in touch via email regarding your exemption status once your application has been reviewed.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our support team via the chat widget in the Builder or by submitting this form.
Upgrades & Downgrades
Upgrades and downgrades can be made in the Plan & Billing: Plans section of the Account Dashboard.
Upgrades
When upgrading to a new plan, your account will be prorated.
Annual Plans
For annual plans your account will be prorated the difference and keep your annual schedule, so the renewal date would not change.
- Example: Knack will take the prorated cost of the months remaining on that plan and credit it to your account. That will then be subtracted from the cost of the remaining months on the new plan. Then, that will then be the upgrade cost.
Note: Cancellations of monthly plans are not prorated.
Downgrades
Starting November 1st, customers on annual plans will no longer be allowed to downgrade their subscription until their renewal date. This includes moving from an annual subscription to a monthly subscription as well as moving to a lower-cost plan (e.g., downgrading from Pro Annual -> Starter Annual).
Annual subscription customers will be able to downgrade their subscription in the Dashboard starting 30 days before their renewal date. The change will be effective as of the renewal date. Please note that Plus 1, 2, and 3 customers must contact Knack Support to downgrade their plans.
Annual subscription customers will still be able to upgrade their plan anytime during their subscription in the Dashboard. The upgrade price will be pro-rated based on the amount of time remaining on the annual subscription. The subscription renewal date will not change.
Note: If downgrading to the Starter Plan, Tasks, Map views, and E-Commerce will be removed from your apps once downgraded.
Additional Add-Ons
Knack offers additional add-on options for some features, which allow you to expand your account without upgrading to another plan. You can find more details about plan add-ons on our pricing page here.
Records & Storage Add-Ons
If you need more records or storage capacity larger than what is currently available on your plan, we offer add-ons for both.
If you would like to increase your record or storage limit on your account, feel free to simply continue to add additional records or storage beyond your current limit. We’ll automatically upgrade your plan to get you back under the limit.
This means we'll either include a records add-on or upgrade you to the next plan level, whichever is the lowest in cost. No further action is needed on your part.
Other Add-On Options
-
Advanced Single Sign-On
-
Available for the Pro Plan by request
-
-
Additional API Limits

Note: If you select a plan before your 14 day trial ends, your plan change and credit card charge will happen immediately. An invoice for your plan will be listed once you decide to upgrade.
