A little more about plans, trials and subscriptions.
Yes. One Pro subscription covers every browser and device you use yourself, with no per-browser limit. It is for one person, so please do not share your subscription key with anyone else. Schools and organizations use Pro Max, which is a site license.
Helperbird is free forever for the everyday tools. Helperbird Pro is $35.00/year for individuals, Pro Max is $1,500/year as a site license for a whole school, team, or small district, and Pro Max + is custom-priced for large multi-school districts and enterprise.
Yes. The individual Pro plan starts with a 3-day free trial, and you can cancel before it ends. The free version never expires either, so you can keep using the core tools for as long as you like.
Pro is for one person. Pro Max is a single site license covering a school, team, or small district, and every student and staff member is included. Pro Max + adds district-wide deployment, SSO, onboarding, training, and priority support for large multi-school districts and enterprise.
Yes. For website purchases, open Billing in Helperbird Settings and choose Manage, then cancel in the billing portal. App Store purchases are managed through Apple. Cancelling stops future renewals, and Pro stays active until the end of the paid period. If you're not happy, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
Yes. Pro Max is a flat site license covering a whole school, team, or small district, and we accept purchase orders. For multiple schools or a larger district, talk to sales about Pro Max + pricing and invoicing.
Yes. Students get a discount on Helperbird Pro with no student email required, and schools get whole-organization pricing with Pro Max. Contact us and let us know what you need.
