Why Your Pro Account Looks Like Free or Projects Seem Missing

If your Pro plan looks like Free or projects disappeared, it’s usually caused by logging into a different account method (Google vs Email) or having Profectus open in multiple tabs, which can overwrite project data.

Updated yesterday

🚨 What’s Happening?

If your:

  • Pro badge disappeared

  • Projects look empty

  • Account suddenly looks brand new

Don’t panic. Your data is not deleted. This is almost always caused by one of two issues:

  1. You logged into a different account method

  2. You had Profectus open in multiple tabs at the same time

Let’s break both down clearly.


Issue 1: Login Method Mix-Up (Most Common)

Why This Happens

Profectus does not merge accounts automatically in the backend.

That means:

Each login method creates a separate account — even if the email address is identical.

Example:

  1. You originally signed up using: Continue with Google

  2. Later you log in using: Email + Password

  3. Result: You now have two separate accounts:

Account Type

What You See

Google Login

Your Pro plan + all projects

Email Login

Brand new Free account

It looks like your Pro disappeared — but you are simply inside the wrong account.


How to Fix It

Step 1: Log out completely
Step 2: Go back to the login page
Step 3: Use the exact same method you used during sign-up

If you signed up with Google → click Continue with Google
If you signed up with Email → use Email + Password

Once logged in correctly:

✔ Your Pro badge will reappear
✔ All projects will be visible again

No data is lost.


Issue 2: Multiple Tabs Open (Project Overwrite Risk)

Why This Happens

Profectus syncs your projects live to the Cloud.

If you open Profectus in:

  • Multiple browser tabs

  • Multiple browsers

  • Desktop + Laptop

  • Home + VPS server

  • iPad + PC

You can create synchronization conflicts.

What happens:

  • Tab A saves Project Version 1

  • Tab B still has old state

  • Tab B autosaves

→ It overwrites the newer version

This can make projects look empty or reverted.

Important!

⚠️ Profectus should only be open in one tab at a time.


How to Fix It

  1. Detect all current open tabs to recover the desired project state.

  2. Close ALL other Profectus tabs everywhere

  3. Reopen Profectus in a single tab only

  4. Refresh the page once

In most cases, the correct project state reloads.


How to Avoid This in the Future

Login Best Practices

  • Always use the same login method

  • Bookmark your correct login page

  • Avoid switching between Google and Email login

Tab Best Practices

  • Keep Profectus open in only one tab

  • Do not edit the same project on multiple devices simultaneously

  • If switching devices, fully close the old session first

Conclusion

If your Pro looks like Free or projects seem missing, it’s almost always a login method mix-up or multiple-tab overwrite issue. Your data is not deleted — it’s just a session mismatch.
