# Upgrade your subscription from Avo 2 to Avo 3 

We announced Avo 3 last week and had great echoes from you, fine folks. Thank you for that!

### What's happening with Avo 2?

We are a small team, and we can't support two products that do similar things. Focusing on Avo 3 means that we can ship faster and better.

Avo 2 will go into a bug-fixing phase (4 months) and then a security fixes phase (another four months).

### Should I upgrade to Avo 2?

That means you should upgrade your Avo 2 apps to version 3 to get the latest features. But that means you are now going from a $250/year subscription to a $350/year subscription.

It might look like we have incremented the major version number to force current users to upgrade to a higher subscription.
**That is not the case**. We are not building that kind of business.

That is my oversight, and I apologize if that made you feel "betrayed" or "held for ransom".

### Avo 3 upgrade discount

All Avo 2 customers will receive a $100 upgrade discount to upgrade from Avo 2 Pro to Avo 3 Pro while keeping the same subscription cost.

That means you can safely upgrade without any cost difference.

### How can I upgrade my subscription?

Because of bureaucratic reasons, I had to change the Stripe account, and the upgrade is not seamless.
The upgrade process goes like this:

- you write to us at [upgrades@avohq.io](mailto:upgrades@avohq.io?subject=I%20want%20to%20upgrade%20my%20Avo%20v2%20subscription%20to%20a%20v3%20one&body=Hi%2C%0D%0A%0D%0AMy%20name%20is%20...%2C%20with%20the%20license%20key%20...%20and%20I%20would%20like%20to%20upgrade%20my%20subscription%20to%20v3.%0D%0A%0D%0AThank%20you%2C%0D%0A%0D%0AFind%20your%20license%20key%20at%20https%3A%2F%2Favohq.io%2Fsubscriptions.) and tell us you license key and that you want to upgrade
- we'll cancel the v2 subscription, refund what's left, and send over a discount code
- you purchase a new v3 license from [avohq.io/pricing](https://avohq.io/pricing)
- use the $100 discount code on the checkout page
- at this point, you'll still have a 14-day grace period on your v2 license, so your app continues to work until you upgrade your code to v3.

### What if I already purchased Avo 3?

If you already purchased Avo 3 and paid full price or the Black Friday discounted price, [write to us](mailto:upgrades@avohq.io?subject=I%20paid%20too%20much%20for%20Avo%203&body=Hi%2C%0D%0A%0D%0AI%20upgraded%20to%20Avo%203%20from%20Avo%202%20at%20full%20price.%0D%0ACan%20you%20please%20refund%20the%20subscription%3F%0D%0A%0D%0AMy%20Avo%202%20license%20key%3A%20...%0D%0AMy%20Avo%203%20license%20key%3A%20...%0D%0A%0D%0AThank%20you%2C%0D%0A) with the Avo 3 license key and we will refund the difference.

**You purchased Avo 3 Pro at full price ($350)**: We will refund $100 and set the subscription to $250/year
**You purchased Avo 3 Advanced at full price ($500)**: You keep that tier upgrade.
**You purchased Avo 3 Pro at Black Friday price ($262,50)**: We will refund $12.5 and set the subscription to $250/year
**You purchased Avo 3 Advanced at Black Friday price ($375)**: You keep that tier upgrade.

### Availability

This offer will be available six months from Avo 3's release until May 21st, 2024.

### Conclusions

We are not in the business of trapping people, and I apologize if I made you feel that way.

We want to provide value to you through our products.

Thank you for writing about this.
