Upgrade Subscription Plan

Last updated: February 2, 2026

HackerRank assigns the Basic plan to all users by default. You can upgrade to the Plus or Infinity subscription plan at any time. For more information on available plans, see 📄 HackerRank Subscription Plans.

When you upgrade your subscription plan:

  • The upgrade takes effect immediately, and you gain instant access to the features of your new subscription.

  • If you already have an active subscription, HackerRank calculates the charge based on proration. For the rest of the cycle, you pay only the difference between the old and new plans.

  • Your next billing date remains the same.

Note:

Proration formula: (Days remaining in cycle ÷ Total days in cycle) × New plan price − (Days remaining in cycle ÷ Total days in cycle) × Old plan price.

Example: Assume you are on the Plus Monthly plan ($30/month) and upgrade to the Infinity Monthly plan ($60/month) with 10 days remaining in your 30-day billing cycle.

Applying the proration formula: (10 ÷ 30) × 60 − (10 ÷ 30) × 30  = 10

You pay $10 for the upgrade.

If you upgrade from a non-Basic plan, HackerRank forfeits your previous credits. You immediately receive a full set of credits for your new subscription plan.

Note: Credits are the entitlements included in your subscription. For example, three AI Mock Interviews per month, two Mock Tests per month with detailed performance reports.
