What changes between plans.
The firewall itself is the same on every plan. Paying moves your history off one machine and adds the team controls.

Billing questions
Before you pay.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it does not expire. Free gives you the local proxy, budget policies, blocking, and the local dashboard with 7 days of history, with no account required. Paid plans add the hosted dashboard, 90 day history, and sync across machines.
Is pricing per developer or per workspace?
Pro is per person ($15 per month, or $144 per year). Team is a flat bundle, not a per-seat rate: one price covers up to 10 or 25 seats, so adding a teammate inside your bundle costs nothing extra.
Is my data still private on a paid plan?
Yes. Cloud sync is opt-in, and it syncs metadata only— model, token counts, cost, timings. Prompts, responses and code never leave your machine on any plan. See the privacy model.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Anytime, from the billing portal in your account. Cancelling leaves you on the paid plan until the end of the period you already paid for, then drops you to Free — the local firewall keeps working either way.
What happens when the trial ends?
Nothing breaks. The trial is the full Pro experience for 7 days; when it lapses your install drops to Free and keeps enforcing budgets locally. An expired plan never blocks the daemon.
Start free. Pay when the cloud is worth it.
The firewall and the local dashboard never expire on the Free plan.
