The terms, plainly.

Trials

  • 14-day free trial on Freelancer, Studio and Agency with every feature of the plan. No card required.
  • Your trial data carries over when you subscribe.
  • Enterprise evaluations run as a scoped pilot on a sandbox, with named success criteria.

Billing

  • Monthly plans bill in advance each month; annual plans bill upfront for 12 months.
  • Seats added mid-term are prorated to the end of the cycle. Reductions take effect at renewal.
  • Card on every plan; bank transfer and invoice on annual Agency and all Enterprise plans; UPI and net banking for INR.
  • Invoices are issued in your plan's currency, compliant with GST (India) and VAT (UK, EU, UAE).

Changing plans

  • Upgrades apply immediately, with the difference prorated.
  • Downgrades apply at renewal. Anything over the lower plan's limits becomes read-only until it is brought within them. Nothing is deleted.
  • Switch from monthly to annual at any time; unused monthly time is credited.

Cancelling

  • Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and run to the end of the paid period.
  • Annual plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee from the first payment.
  • Your data stays exportable for 60 days after cancelling, then is permanently deleted.

Fair use

  • Limits are soft: at 90% you're told, at 100% you're offered an upgrade, and nothing you've created is removed or hidden.
  • API use on Agency is capped at 60 requests a minute; Enterprise limits are set in contract.
  • AI requests are a monthly allowance per plan, pooled across the firm, and each person can make up to 40 an hour (more on Enterprise). When it's used, AI packs carry on: monthly packs add 1,000 requests a month, annual packs a pool of 12,000 for the year. Without a pack, the AI features that can work from your figures alone keep going without AI until the 1st; everything else carries on.

Questions we're asked.

Can we start with one module?

Yes. Every plan includes its modules together, so you can start with time tracking or resource planning and switch the rest on when you're ready. Switching a module off never loses its data.

What counts as an active project?

Any project that isn't closed or archived. Closing a project frees its place and keeps all of its history.

What is a viewer seat, and does it cost anything?

A viewer seat is for someone who follows the work without doing it: a partner who isn't on projects, an adviser, an investor. Viewers see the dashboard, projects and their progress, tasks, the resource planner, clients, check-ins and reports, but no rates, budgets, margins or invoices, and they can't change anything. They're free up to your plan's allowance: 20 on Freelancer, 50 on Studio, 200 on Agency, unlimited on Enterprise. Studio and Agency can add more from Plan and billing. Clients don't need a seat: they use the client portal. Contractors use the lower-priced contractor seat.

Can Agency customers have single sign-on without Enterprise?

Yes, as an add-on. SCIM provisioning, data residency and seven-year audit retention remain Enterprise only.

Which currency are we billed in?

The one set from your billing country when you sign up. You can change it at renewal, not mid-term.

What happens if we don't subscribe after the trial?

The workspace becomes read-only for 30 days, is then archived for a further 60 days, and is deleted after that.

How does Cadence use AI?

To help, draft, explain and suggest: the assistant on every page, proposals, project briefs, timesheet entries, invoice wording, capacity answers and more. It only reads what the person using it could see on screen, your Owner decides which roles get which AI features, and notes people typed are kept from AI unless the Owner allows them. Money is always calculated by Cadence, never by the model, and nothing is sent or billed without a person.

Is there a free plan?

No. The 14-day trial and the 30-day money-back guarantee on annual plans give you the same risk-free start.

Will our price go up?

You keep your price for the current term and one renewal after any list-price increase, with 60 days' written notice. Features already on your plan aren't moved to a higher plan during your term.

Do prices include tax?

No. GST (India, 18%) or VAT (UK 20%, UAE 5%, EU at your country's rate) is added at checkout.

Try it on a real project.

Fourteen days, every feature of the plan, no card. Your data stays when you subscribe.
