Default plans

When Billing is enabled, Clerk automatically assigns the free plan to every new user or organization as the default plan. This ensures every customer always has an active subscription.

Users are moved to the free plan when they:

• Downgrade from a paid subscription
• Stop paying for a paid subscription
• Cancel a paid subscription

Can I update it?

You can update the name, slug, and public visibility.

Changing public visibility doesn’t change the free subscription functionality; it just hides it from the pricing table.

Is it possible to change the default plan?

Not yet, but additional features are planned to support paid-customers-only use cases.
