Free vs Pro
What you get, and what you pay for.

Upgrade questions.
Will upgrading break my existing setup?
No. Activating a licence unlocks paid features on the same install. Your members, levels, and access rules are untouched.
Can I downgrade later?
Yes. If a licence lapses the plugin keeps running on free-tier features — member data and payment history are never deleted.
Is there a free trial of the paid plans?
The free plugin is the trial. Paid plans are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee, so upgrading is reversible.
