Pricing questions.
What is included in the Free plan?
Free includes up to 2 active projects, unlimited time entries, the full call-billing rules (minimum, padding, rounding), the dashboard and activity log, the Standard rate per project, and view-only reports.
What do I get with Pro?
Pro adds: unlimited projects and clients, multiple billing rates per project (e.g. remote / onsite / emergency), shareable read-only client reports, CSV / Markdown / JSON export, the mark-as-billed workflow plus the monthly billing pass, and the REST API with in-app key minting for agents and scripts.
How much does Pro cost?
Pro is $7/mo, billed through Paidwell's checkout. The exact current price and any options are always shown on the Pricing page and in Settings → Plan.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — Pro starts with a 31-day free trial. During the trial you have full Pro access. A card is required to start it, and it converts to a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel first.
What is the founding / lifetime offer?
The founding offer is a one-time $150 payment for lifetime Pro access — pay once, never renew. It is a limited number of spots. If it is still available you will see it on the Pricing page and in Settings → Plan.
How do I upgrade to Pro?
Go to Settings → Plan and use the pricing table to start your trial or subscribe. After checkout you are returned to Settings so your session refreshes and Pro features unlock right away.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Open your account menu (top-right avatar) → Billing to manage or cancel your subscription. If you cancel mid-period you keep Pro access until the end of the period you have already paid for, then return to Free.
What happens to my data if I downgrade to Free?
Nothing is deleted. All your projects, entries, and history stay intact. Pro-only features (extra projects beyond the Free limit, multiple rates, sharing, export, API, mark-as-billed) simply become read-only or locked until you upgrade again.
I upgraded but the app still shows Free — why?
Plan status is read from your session, which refreshes within about a minute. Reloading Settings (where checkout returns you) usually updates it immediately. If it persists after a minute and a reload, contact support.
How is my payment handled — is it secure?
Payments are processed by our billing provider (Stripe, via Clerk Billing). Paidwell never sees or stores your card number. You can manage payment methods and invoices from your account menu → Billing.
