What is the difference between free and paid plans, other than the number of people?

There are three types of ChMeetings accounts:

• Demo: This account type contains demo data. It comes with all ChMeetings features, except for: Custom Sender Name and Reply To Email, Attachments in forms and profile fields. Custom church URL.
• Permanent - Free: A permanent, free account comes with all ChMeetings features, except for those specified below as being available with paid accounts exclusively.

Notes on free accounts:

• For security reasons, free accounts are subject to a 48h approval process, during which the church URL cannot be customized and no email can be sent. These features will be enabled once the account is approved.
• Forms have ChMeetings branding at the bottom.
• When you have a free account, all of the features listed below will be visible within your ChMeetings account, but they will be inactive and will show an Upgrade badge. You can get access to the feature by signing up for any of our paid plans.
