# Plans & Billing

Every new church starts with a **30-day trial** — the entire app unlocked, every module, no
limits on people, team members or locations. No card required.

## What happens after the trial

If your church hasn't moved to the paid plan by the time the trial ends, nothing is deleted
and nobody is locked out. Your church automatically continues on the **Free plan**:

| Free plan | |
|---|---|
| People | Up to 50 |
| Team members (logins) | Up to 2 |
| Locations | 1 |
| Included | Members and Import data, Visitors, Small groups and My teams, Attendance, Events & calendar, Prayer requests, Giving page, Tags, and everyone's own screens (My profile, My serving, My availability, My giving) |

Everything else — Ministries, Rotas, Finance (giving by member, transactions, categories
and the finance dashboard), Announcements and email templates, Check-in and Kids Check-in, event
registrations, Reports, your church website, Church Links, Custom Fields and Custom User
Access — becomes available again as soon as your church moves to the paid plan.

## If your church is already over a Free plan limit

Say your church already has 80 people, or 3 team members, by the time the trial ends.
Nothing gets deleted. Records above the limit become **read-only** — visible, but you can't
edit them or add new ones — until either you're back under the limit or your church moves
to the paid plan.

**Deleting is always allowed**, even above the limit — it's the quickest way back to full
access yourself, without waiting on anyone.

A banner at the top of the app tells you exactly which limit(s) your church is over, and by
how much, for as long as it applies.

## Upgrading

Church admins will find **Billing** under **Settings** in the menu. It shows your current
plan, when your trial or paid period ends, and your payment history. A reminder banner also
appears at the top of the app during the last week of your trial, with a shortcut to it.

The paid plan is **USD 30 a month** or **USD 300 a year** (pay 10 months, get 12).

1. Open **Billing** and choose **Monthly** or **Yearly**.
2. Click **Pay by bank transfer**. You'll go to a secure GalioPay page where you can pay
   from any Argentine bank account or wallet. The amount is shown in pesos, converted with
   the day's official exchange rate. It's a payment in pesos, not a dollar purchase by card,
   so none of the card-dollar taxes or perceptions are added.
3. When you're done, you're taken back to HolyCRM. The page confirms your payment as soon as
   the bank reports it — usually within a minute. If it takes longer, you don't need to pay
   again: the page updates on its own once it arrives.

If you close the payment page by accident, **Continue payment** on the Billing page takes you
back to the same one.

Paying during your trial doesn't cost you any trial days: your paid time starts when the
trial ends.

## Email packs

The paid plan includes 1,000 Announcements emails a month. If your church needs more, an
Administrator can buy **email packs** in **Billing**: 5,000 emails for US$5, paid the same way as
the plan. Pack emails are used only after the month's 1,000 run out, and they never expire; Billing
and Announcements show how many are left. A pack doesn't change or extend your plan. Churches that
connect their own email server in [Integrations](#/integrations) have no HolyCRM email limit at
all.

## Invite another church

Know a pastor whose church could use HolyCRM? In **Billing**, under **Invite a church**, you'll
find your church's invite link and code. Copy it or share it straight to WhatsApp.

- The church you invite gets a **60-day free trial** instead of 30.
- When that church makes its first payment, **your church gets a free month**, added to the
  end of your current trial or paid period. Your admins get a notification when it happens.
- You can earn up to **12 free months** in any 12 months. Billing shows the churches that
  signed up with your link and how many months you've earned.

If someone gave you a **promo code**, type it in the code box when you sign up. It may give your
church a longer free trial; when the trial ends, it works like any other trial.

## Renewing

Payments don't renew automatically — nothing is ever charged without you. We email your
church's admins a week before your paid period ends and again the day before. You can renew
early at any time; the new period starts when the current one ends.

If the period ends without a renewal, everything stays unlocked for **7 more days**. After
that your church moves to the Free plan — nothing is deleted, and you can upgrade again
whenever you like.
