Changing a GitHub Marketplace listing's pricing plan
If a pricing plan for your GitHub Marketplace plan is no longer needed or if you need to change pricing details, you can retire it.
Once you retire a pricing plan, users won't be able to purchase your app using that plan. Existing users on the retired pricing plan will continue to stay on the plan until they cancel their plan subscription.
Note: GitHub can't remove users from a retired pricing plan. You can run a campaign to encourage users to upgrade or downgrade from the retired pricing plan onto a new pricing plan.
You can disable Marketplace free trials without retiring the pricing plan, but this prevents you from initiating future free trials for that plan. If you choose to disable free trials for a pricing plan, users already signed up can complete their free trial.
After retiring a pricing plan, you can create a new pricing plan with the same name as the retired pricing plan. For instance, if you have a "Pro" pricing plan but need to change the flat rate, you can retire the "Pro" pricing plan and create a new "Pro" pricing plan with an updated price. Users will be able to immediately purchase the new pricing plan.

In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
