Pro Pricing
Per-User Pricing
Pro is billed per user per month:
| Billing | Price |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $12/user/month |
| Annual | $120/user/year ($10/user/month) |
Example: A team of 5 users pays $60/month (monthly) or $600/year (annual).
What counts as a user?
All active team members count toward billing:
- Organization owner
- Admins
- Members
Pending invitations don't count until accepted.
Adding or removing users
When you add users:
- You're charged prorated for the remainder of the billing period
- Next invoice reflects the new user count
When you remove users:
- Credit is applied to your next invoice
- You're never charged for removed users

What happens when you downgrade
When your Pro subscription ends:

|---|---|
| Resource limits | Enforced on new resources only |
| Existing resources | Remain intact |
| Integrations (Slack, etc.) | Stop working |
| API access | Revoked |
| Audit retention | Reduced to 7 days |
| Old audit logs | Deleted within 24 hours |
Your existing resources are safe. Collections, schedules, and providers remain but you can't create new ones beyond Free limits.
Before you downgrade
Consider:

- Disable integrations gracefully (notify your team)
- Review your usage — you may need to reduce resources
