Are you currently on a monthly Dang Bai Tu Dong subscription and wondering how much you would save by switching to an annual plan? The answer depends on which plan you are on and how long you intend to keep using the tool. This article works through the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
Monthly vs. Annual Billing: What Is the Difference?
Most SaaS (Software as a Service) products offer two billing options:
- Monthly billing: Pay each month, fully flexible, cancel any time — but the per-month cost is higher
- Annual billing: Pay upfront for a full year, typically saving 15–20% compared to 12 monthly payments — less flexible but lower total cost
How Much Do You Actually Save on Annual Billing?
Example calculation with illustrative pricing:
| Monthly rate (example) | Pay 12 months | Annual plan (~17% off) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| VND 200,000 | VND 2,400,000 | ~VND 2,000,000 | ~VND 400,000 |
| VND 350,000 | VND 4,200,000 | ~VND 3,500,000 | ~VND 700,000 |
| VND 700,000 | VND 8,400,000 | ~VND 7,000,000 | ~VND 1,400,000 |

When Should You Switch to Annual Billing?
Switch to annual when:
- Your shop has been running steadily for at least 6 months and Facebook group posting is producing clear results
- You have used the tool for at least 1–2 months with no major technical issues
- Your marketing budget can absorb the larger upfront payment
- The money you save could be redirected to ads, inventory, or other growth costs
Stay on monthly billing when:
- Your shop is new and revenue is not yet stable
- You are still testing whether Facebook group selling fits your product category
- You just finished a trial and are not confident you will use the tool long-term
- Cash flow is tight and you need payment flexibility
Practical tip: If you have used the tool for 2–3 consecutive months without wanting to cancel, that is usually a strong signal that annual billing makes sense. Quick check: if the savings from switching equals or exceeds 1–2 days of your ad spend, it is generally worth considering.
Before Committing to Annual Billing: Check These 3 Things
- Refund policy: What happens if you cancel partway through the year?
- Auto-renewal: Does the annual plan auto-charge when it expires? How far in advance do you need to cancel auto-renewal?
- Price lock: If the price increases after you pay annually, does your current plan get grandfathered in?
Confirm these points with the Dang Bai Tu Dong support team or read the terms carefully at dangbaitudong.vn before paying.

HOW I CUT SOFTWARE COSTS FOR MY SMALL SHOP
Running a shop solo, I look for savings wherever I can. One simple move: switching
from monthly to annual billing for the tools I use consistently
(order management, auto-posting, design...). Savings are typically 15–20%.
The condition: you need to be confident you will keep using the tool for at least
6–8 more months. If you're not sure yet, stay monthly and keep the flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is annual billing refundable if I stop using the tool?
Refund terms vary by provider. Always check the official refund policy at dangbaitudong.vn before paying annually. Some providers offer a prorated refund; others do not.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan mid-year on annual billing?
This depends on the provider’s policy. Confirm with Dang Bai Tu Dong support whether plan changes during an annual term result in credits or require a new purchase.
How do I know if the Facebook group channel is worth keeping long-term?
Track two simple metrics: (1) how many direct inquiries or orders per week can you trace back to group posts, and (2) how much time you spend on posting versus the return. If the channel consistently drives leads, keeping the tool on annual billing is typically worthwhile.
What if Dang Bai Tu Dong raises prices after I switch to annual?
This is one of the three things to verify before paying. Ask the support team explicitly whether your annual plan price is locked for the full term or subject to mid-term price changes.
