In Freelo's Business plan, you pay for a licence for each team member. The exception are Guests – clients or external collaborators you can invite for free, up to 100 per team, with each Guest able to work in a maximum of 2 projects. In this article you'll learn how the Trial works, what the difference is between a paid account and the Free plan, and how to set up roles in your team.
Every registered user starts with a 14-days Trial plan. During this period you can try all the features that Freelo offers. What is going to happen after the 14-days period? What is the difference between the paid accounts with one of our plans and the free accounts?
The difference describes the picture below:
In the Team plan you do not pay per invited user. You only need one paid account (purchased plan), through which you will invite as many users as you need into your projects. In the Business plan you pay per invited user only if you exceed the maximal number of users.
The invited users can stay in the Free plan, which allows them to create 3 active projects and invite 3 other users.
The user with the paid account creates projects and invites colleagues, clients and all other people in order to cooperate.
The paid account is usually managed by the team boss, coordinator, project manager or CEO.
Project manager also becomes the Admin of those projects, which enables them to see all the details as the projects owner = captain of the project. These roles are available in plans Team and Business.

Trial
- Is testing plan that runs from the time you register to Freelo on your own
- During this period all Freelo features are available for you to fully test
- The testing period ends after 14 days and we give you the choice to either continue on the Free plan (if you have 3 users or 3 projects invited) or choose one of the paid plans
- If you do not meet the Free plan limit but want to use it, we recommend transferring projects to a person with a paid plan or archiving the projects and keeping only 3 active
Tips & Tricks
-
- Give the right to create new project to the chosen people and appoint them as Project managers
- Appoint more Admins across the projects so the managing and delegation is not up to one person only
- The captain (project owner) can be changed anytime via transferring the project
- The key is to divide projects well and clear, check 7 rules how to organize your projects
Practical use
- Small team or startup – the team lead gets a Business plan and sets up licences for all members. Clients are invited as Guests for free.
- Agency with clients – the team works on licences, clients join selected projects as Guests without the need to purchase additional licences.
- Company with multiple departments – one company account, with Project Managers in each team independently creating projects and inviting colleagues.
- Freelancer with multiple clients – a separate project for each client, with clients as Guests seeing only what you allow them to.
