A little help. Or a whole new rhythm.

No. Essential stays free. It is narrower than the paid plans rather than time-limited, which means you can sit on it indefinitely if it covers what you need. There is no card to start it.

Cancel whenever you like, from the workspace, without writing to anyone. Your workspace drops back to Essential at the end of the period you have paid for. Nothing is deleted: the parts that exceed the free limits become read-only rather than disappearing.

Within fourteen days of a payment, in full, for any reason or none. After that a cancellation stops the next charge rather than reversing the last one. Annual plans are refunded pro rata for the months not yet used.

Nothing breaks and nothing is thrown away. You are told which limit you have reached, and the workspace keeps working with what it already holds — new capture pauses rather than overwriting older context. "Unlimited" means no numeric cap, not an invitation to bulk-import an archive.

Someone who opened the shared workspace during the billing period. A teammate who did not is not counted and not charged, so a seat left idle for a month costs nothing. Up to twelve people can share one workspace.

At any point, in either direction. Moving up takes effect immediately and is charged pro rata. Moving down takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, so you never lose time you have bought.

Annual billing takes twenty per cent off every paid plan, which is the only discount that exists. There is no negotiated pricing, so nobody pays less for asking harder.

Inside your workspace. It is not used to train a shared model, and on Studio each person keeps their own boundary inside the shared space. You can see everything the assistant is holding as a list, and clear it in one action, on every plan including the free one.
