> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to upgrade from Smart to Pro

To upgrade a website within the SimDif app, navigate to 'Site Settings' (found in the main menu), select 'Upgrade or Renew,' and review the status of your current subscription. 

SimDif offers three plan tiers: Free/Starter, Smart, and Pro. If you are currently on a Smart plan and wish to move to a Pro plan, the process depends on your current payment method:

**Handling Active Auto-Renewing Subscriptions**
If you have an active auto-renewing subscription for a SimDif Smart site, you must first cancel the automatic renewal at the specific payment gateway used for the original purchase. These gateways include:
*   The Apple App Store (iTunes)
*   The Google Play Store
*   PayPal
*   PayPro Global

Once the auto-renewal is canceled, you will be able to subscribe to the SimDif Pro plan.

**Credit for Remaining Subscription Time**
When upgrading from a Smart plan to a Pro plan, any time remaining on the existing Smart subscription is preserved and applied to the new Pro status. 

For example, if a user has 9 months remaining on a SimDif Smart subscription and purchases a 1-year Pro upgrade, the website will immediately become a Pro site with a total remaining duration of 1 year and 9 months.
