Upgrade to Premium

Upgrading takes a minute: tell Latte when your semester runs, pay once through Stripe's secure checkout, and Premium turns on across all your devices right away. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe — Latte never sees your card number.

It's a pass, not a subscription

Premium is sold as a semester pass: a single payment covering the dates you pick. Nothing renews, nothing recurs, and there is no subscription to remember to cancel — when your semester ends, so does the pass. The price is worked out from the length of your semester, so a short term costs less than a long one.

Before you start

You need to be signed in with your own Latte account. Want to see Premium first without paying? The demo includes a Premium persona — see Try the demo.

Where the upgrade page opens from​

  • The crown in the web top bar — it's there only while you're on the Free plan.
  • See Premium plans on any Premium feature you bump into: the AI ranking toggle on the recommendation card, or the multi-question card when you build a poll.
  • An upload that's too big says the same thing — "Premium raises the upload limit to 100 MB — upgrade to send larger files, or retry with a smaller one."

  1. Open Upgrade to Premium — "Pick the plan that fits how you study."

  2. Check the two dates under Your semester. If other students at your school have told Latte when their term runs, the dates are already filled in for you and the card says so — change them if yours are different. Otherwise Latte offers a typical semester as a starting point.

  3. The price updates as you change the dates. It shows what you'll pay, how many days that covers, and the full six-month rate it's worked out from. This is the exact figure Stripe will charge — Latte doesn't estimate it in your browser, it asks the server for it.

    What dates Latte will accept

    A pass covers between 30 and 366 days, can start up to 30 days in the past (so you can buy the term you're already in), and has to end in the future. If your dates fall outside that, the card tells you which rule they break instead of showing a price.

    If no price appears

    Three different messages, because they mean three different things — and none of them is a blank page:

    • "We couldn't price these dates", on the card itself with a Try again button: the quote didn't come back. Your dates are fine; we are not.
    • "We couldn't show you a price" for the whole page, with a Try again: we're offering something and couldn't price any of it.
    • "No plans on sale right now": nothing is for sale at the moment, and your current plan keeps working exactly as it is.

    Nothing is charged in any of the three, and all three mean something is wrong on our side, not yours. A problem with the dates you picked reads differently — it names the rule they break.

  4. Click Get the semester pass. Latte opens Stripe's secure checkout; enter your card details and confirm.

    Coupon codes and the semester pass

    Coupons don't apply to semester passes, so the Coupon code field isn't shown next to one — rather than accepting a code that would be refused at checkout. If you're holding a code, it's for a plan that isn't currently on sale.

  5. You come back to Latte and are greeted with Welcome to Premium!. Click Continue to your account — Premium is already active, and runs until your semester end date.

tip

If you close the Stripe page without paying, nothing is charged — you land on Checkout canceled and can pick up where you left off. Premium appears on every device the moment payment clears, so there's never a reason to upgrade twice.

Your school might cover it

If your school buys a Latte license while your pass is running, Latte cancels the pass and refunds the days you hadn't used — see Get Latte free through your school.

Where the pre-filled dates come from

When you buy a pass with dates you set yourself, Latte adds them to the anonymous median for your school, so the next student there gets their term pre-filled. Only the two dates are shared, never who entered them, and only if you picked them — dates Latte suggested to you aren't counted twice.
