Yes. No credit card to start, no expiry. Limited to 3 users and 500 AI credits per month.

**Can I downgrade from Pro to Free?**
Yes, at any time. Your data stays; you keep up to 3 users and 500 credits per month.

**Do you charge per user?**
No. Pro and Business include unlimited users. Per-user pricing is a QuickBooks / Xero pain point HelloBooks deliberately avoids.

Yes, 20% on Pro and Business when billed yearly.

Credits meter the heavier features: bill OCR, talk-with-your-books conversational analytics, generate-report. Light features (categorization, reconciliation) are unmetered.
