This change ensures fairness for publishers who invest in the community and allows us to keep building more professional opportunities for everyone.

Key Dates

  • December 14, 2025 — Deadline to upgrade. After this date, free publisher accounts will no longer be able to accept new submissions.

What’s Changing

  • Free publisher accounts will no longer be able to accept new submissions after December 14, 2025.
  • Free publishers will still be able to manage any submissions already received.

    • Premium: $49/mo → keep $49 (equivalent to the new Premium $99 plan).
    • Platinum: $199/mo → keep $199 (equivalent to the new Platinum $499 plan).
  • Free publishers can lock in the $49/mo plan by upgrading before December 14, 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don’t upgrade?

Your account will remain accessible, and you can manage any submissions already received. However, you won’t be able to accept new submissions after December 14, 2025 until you upgrade.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. But only upgrades made before December 14, 2025 qualify for the $49/mo plan (equivalent to the new $99). After that, available plans will be $99, $499, or $2,400+.

What if I’m already on a paid plan?

If you’re subscribed to the $49/mo or $199/mo plan, nothing changes — you’ll keep your current rate as long as you stay subscribed.

What happens if I cancel my plan?

If you cancel, you can still manage existing submissions, but you won’t be able to accept new ones until you re-subscribe at the new pricing ($99, $499, or $2,400+).

Why is Kavyar making this change?

To ensure fairness for paying publishers, support a more professional publishing environment, and keep growing visibility and opportunities for the entire community.

👉 Action Step:

If you’re on a free publisher account, upgrade before December 14, 2025 to secure the $49/mo plan.
