How to Purchase or Upgrade to the Friends and Family Plan

How to upgrade to the Friends and Family Plan from the Hallow website.

Updated yesterday

What is the Friends and Family Plan?

The Friends and Family Plan is a Hallow subscription that covers up to 6 people (you plus 5 others) at a discounted rate of $119.99/year. This plan can only be purchased through the Hallow website, not through the mobile app.

Apple's Family Sharing feature is not supported by Hallow. You must upgrade to the Hallow's Friends and Family Plan instead to share this with your loved ones.

🌍 International users must have an email-based account to purchase and manage a Family Plan. Phone-number-only accounts cannot upgrade to a Family Plan.

If you currently have a phone-only account, add an email to your account before attempting to purchase the Family Plan.


How to Upgrade: Step-by-Step Instructions

Upgrading as a new user (no Hallow account yet):

To purchase the Friends and Family Plan as a new user without a Hallow account:

  1. Click Create an account

  4. Enter your email address and complete the account creation process

  5. After creating your account, you'll see subscription options

  6. Select the Friends and Family plan

  7. Tap Subscribe

  8. Enter your payment information

  9. Click Redeem to complete your subscription

Your subscription includes a 30-day free trial. After the trial ends, you will be billed $119.99 for one year.

Upgrading when you have an individual subscription (Monthly or Yearly Plan)

To upgrade from an individual annual subscription to a Friends and Family Plan:

⚠️ Before you upgrade:

You must cancel your current individual subscription to avoid being charged twice.

About prorated pricing:

When you upgrade mid-cycle, you'll receive a prorated credit. The unused portion of your individual plan will be credited toward your Family Plan price.

Example: If you paid $70 for an annual subscription 6 months ago, half the price ($35) will be credited toward the $119.99 Family plan. You'd pay $84.99 for a new 12-month plan starting today.

Note: This prorated discount only applies to the plan owner (you). Other family members must cancel their subscriptions separately before joining your plan, and they won't receive credits.

We do not provide any extra promotions or discounts for the friends and family plan. Additionally, if you redeem a gift card, you won't be able to switch to a family plan from that subscription.

Steps to upgrade:

  1. Log in using the method you originally used to create your Hallow account

  2. Tap on the three-bar icon in the upper right corner to open your Settings

  3. Select Subscription.

  4. Select Switch next to the Friends and Family Plan

Next step: After subscribing, visit hallow.com/settings/family to get your family invite link and send it to members you want to add to your plan.


Important Restrictions

  • Gift card subscriptions: Cannot be converted to Family Plans.

  • Promotions: The Family Plan doesn't qualify for additional discounts. $119.99/year for 6 people is already our best rate.

  • Plan size: Exactly 6 people (you plus 5 others). This cannot be adjusted.

  • Account merging: Don't merge accounts. Each family member should keep their own account and join your Family Plan.
