Bitrix24 Cloud Plan Changes
The below important updates to the Bitrix24 Cloud subscription plans will come into effect as from 1st August 2024, and the changes will be implemented in the 30 to 60 days thereafter.
Why the changes?
Over the past 12 years, Bitrix24 has consistently evolved to better meet customer demands. As part of the No-Legacy project, some existing limits are being updated to improve efficiency. The aim is to make the subscription plans more convenient and tailored to address specific business challenges.
What are the changes?
The changes will affect fewer than 5% of the features, but they may be significant for users of professional project management tools.
The key updates to the Bitrix24 plans include:
- Observers and Participants, Subtasks, Work Evaluation and Accept Work are moving from the Basic plan to the Standard plan.
- Projects will now be available starting from the Standard plan.
- Time Tracking for Tasks, Supervision, Delegation, Deadline Planning and Project Templates will be available starting from the Standard plan.
- Free Slots, Inviting External Participants and Meeting Room Selection are moving to the Professional plan.
- Message History in chats and channels will be shown for only 30 days on the free plan, while it will be unlimited on all paid plans.
What is the impact on existing subscriptions?
For Bitrix24 accounts using advanced features that will no longer be available in the current plan, an upgrade will be necessary. The transition will work as follows:
- For Bitrix24 clients not using these advanced features, no action is required.
- For Bitrix24 clients using these advanced features and wanting to continue using these features, the subscription will need to upgrade to a plan that includes the features.
Note:
According to the Bitrix24 No-Legacy policy, clients will be upgraded to the next plan at no extra charge until the end of their current subscription.
As an example, if a client is using one of these features and has an annual Bitrix24 Standard subscription with seven months left, the subscription will be upgraded to Bitrix24 Professional subscription for the remaining seven months without any additional cost. Once the subscription period expires, the client will be billed for Bitrix24 Professional at regular prices.
