# Preview plan change

> Preview proration details for an immediate plan change without applying it. Free-to-paid changes are never scheduled and the change-plan endpoint always returns hosted checkout for them. For paid plans, interval direction takes precedence: a longer interval is immediate and a shorter interval is scheduled. When the interval is unchanged, a higher-sort-order plan is immediate and a lower-sort-order plan is scheduled. A paid-to-free change is always scheduled. Returns credit, charge, and net amount. The target plan must belong to the same plan group as the current plan, otherwise a 400 with code `plans_not_in_same_group` is returned. A change between two free plans has nothing to prorate and returns a zero-amount estimate. Scheduled changes return a 400 with code `plan_change_scheduled`; apply those via the change-plan endpoint. Pass offerId to quote the destination plan with an Offer.
