Legacy subscriptions: migration to new Starter, Pro and Expert plans

This article explains what will happen to older (legacy) 3Commas subscription plans when we move users to the new Starter, Pro and Expert plans. Migration will take place between January 19 and January 30, 2026 in several phases.

Updated yesterday

What is happening?

This migration applies to users on the following legacy plans:

  • Legacy Free plan – No demo trading, limited real trading access

  • Legacy Beginner plan

  • Legacy Starter plan

  • Legacy Advanced plan

  • Legacy Pro plan

  • Legacy Professional plan

  • Legacy Expert plan

Reminder:

  • Lifetime and biennial subscriptions are also included in this migration. Your paid access is not shortened. We only migrate you to the new plan structure.

  • Migration will be done in batches between January 19 and January 30, 2026. You will see in app and email notifications when your own subscription is scheduled to move.

During the migration period:

  • All supported legacy paid plans will be automatically moved to one of the new plans (Starter, Pro or Expert).

  • Your current paid period is not shortened. You keep your existing expiry date.

  • For Beginner and Legacy Starter plans, recurring payment will be turned off. Biennial recurring will also be turned off. For other legacy paid plans, we do not change your recurring setting. If it is still enabled on your migration date, it stays enabled.

  • After January 19, 2026, Legacy Free plans will lose access to real trading.

  • Around the same time, you will see limited time discounts to help you move to the new plans on better terms.

Notes:

  • Expiry date of all migrated paid plans will stay the same.

  • Biennial recurring: turned off during migration

  • Free plan with real trading will no longer be available. Trading tools (for example bots and SmartTrades) require a paid plan after January 19, 2026.

  • Beginner and Legacy Starter: You finish your current paid period on Starter, then need to actively choose a new plan.

  • Advanced and Legacy Pro: At the next recurring payment, you are charged the Pro plan price unless you change or cancel.

  • Legacy Professional and Legacy Expert: At the next recurring payment, you are charged the Expert plan price unless you change or cancel.


FAQ

Can I stay on my old legacy plan forever?
No. All supported legacy plans will be migrated to the new plan structure on the migration date.

Can I choose a different new plan than the one in the table?
Yes. The mapping above is the default if you do nothing. You can change your subscription to any available plan in the Billing section.

Will my current billing period be shortened?
No. Your current paid period continues until its normal expiry date. The migration only changes which plan you are on and how future renewals work.

Will I drop to the Free plan if I do nothing?
No. You are moved to the default new paid plan for your group. For Beginner and Legacy Starter users, recurring payment is turned off, so at expiry you simply stop paying unless you choose a plan again.

Does this apply to lifetime and biennial plans?
Yes. Lifetime and biennial subscriptions are included in the migration during Jan 19–30, 2026. Your access is not shortened, but your subscription will be moved to the new plan structure.
