<h4>What will happen to my threads and messages after one month in the Free plan of Twist?</h4>
<p>In the Free plan of Twist, you won’t be able to view or search for thread comments and messages older than one month. However, all your team’s data will still be safely stored on our servers–nothing will ever be deleted. If you decide to upgrade to the Unlimited plan later, you and your team will have full access to your Twist history.</p>
<h4>Will I lose my data if I downgrade from the Unlimited plan to the Free plan?</h4>
<p>No, your data is never deleted from Twist. When you downgrade to the Free plan, your threads, comments and messages older than a month will still be saved on our servers, but you won’t be able to view or search for them. If at some point you decide to re-subscribe to the Unlimited plan, you’ll regain access to your team’s full thread and message history.</p>
<h4>What is a guest?</h4>
<p>A guest is a limited team member who only has access to the specific channels to which they have been invited. A guest can be a single-channel or multi-channel guest based on how many channels they have been invited to.</p>
<p>Guests will not be able to view, join or post in the rest of your team’s channels. Read all about <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/how-guests-work-in-twist-pPt1PKPY">how guests work in Twist</a>.</p>
<h4>How much does it cost to have guests on my Twist team?</h4>
<p>When you're using Twist’s free plan, all guests are free.</p>
<p>When you're using the Unlimited plan, single-channel guests are free, but multi-channel guests are billed in the same way as team members. Read all about <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/how-guests-work-in-twist-pPt1PKPY">how guests work in Twist</a> and view our Twist Unlimited <a href="https://twistapp.com/pricing?lang=en">pricing</a>.</p>
<h4>We need to add new users to our team. How will that be billed?</h4>
<p>When you add a new user, we'll automatically make a prorated, one-time charge to your credit card. This will cover the new team member's account for the remainder of the current billing period. After that, the full amount for an extra member will be added to your regular invoice.</p>
<h4>Can I mix free members and Unlimited members together?</h4>
<p>If your team is using the Unlimited version of Twist, you will be billed for every member and multi-channel guest that you invite to your team. Single-channel guests are always free.</p>
<p>If you’d like to work with some free members, you can <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/create-a-twist-team-FHswETuX">create a separate, free team</a>. You can invite your members there and they will be able to use it at no cost. It’s easy to <a href="http://help.twistapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003731105">switch between multiple teams</a> from a single Twist account.</p>
<h4>Can we use Twist for free?</h4>
<p>Yes, you absolutely can use Twist for free, forever. You’ll get a searchable archive with up to 1 month of your team’s most recent history, a limited number of integrations, and limited file storage.</p>
<p>For unlimited everything, check out <a href="https://twistapp.com/pricing">Twist Unlimited</a>.</p>
<h4>Why not have a pay for active users policy?</h4>
<p>A pay for active users policy means only paying for users that are actively using your app. The problem is that accounting gets unpredictable and we are required to administrate what constitutes 'active'.</p>
<p>We prefer to keep things simple, so the cost is steady for each member on the team. This way, your cost scales in a predictable way. If a member leaves or you remove a member from the team, you’ll get a pro rata of their monthly fee. If they stay, you pay their fee.</p>
<h4>What are my payment options - credit card and/or invoicing?</h4>
<p>You can use your credit card to pay for any plan. We don’t currently offer invoicing as a payment option.</p>
<h4>I already have a Twist account. Can I join another team?</h4>
<p>Yes, absolutely. We let people have one user account to access many teams. When you log into your account, you get instant access to the teams you’ve joined. You don’t pay for your seat when you join a team on a paid plan. It will be reflected on your Team Owner’s invoice.</p>
<h4>Is there any limit to the number of channels/threads we can create?</h4>
<p>Nope. You can create as many channels and threads as you’d like within your Twist team. There’s never an additional charge for adding more channels and threads.</p>
<h4>How many Twist teams can I create?</h4>
<p>You can create as many teams as you want on both the free and Unlimited plans.</p>
<p>If you're on an Unlimited plan, you can have them all billed to your one main account.</p>
<h4>How does your pricing compare to other communication software?</h4>
<p>We've made a strong effort to keep Twist affordable. Twist is about 16 cents a day for a user on the Unlimited plan. It's 25% less expensive than the lowest tier Slack plan. We don't plan on increasing it, either, as <a href="https://blog.doist.com/why-we-don-t-have-an-exit-strategy-d3256107d958">we aren't beholden to investors</a>. We’d rather focus on serving our customers’ best interests first (forever).</p>
<h4>I find Twist a bit expensive. Will I get value for my money?</h4>
<p>When you subscribe to Twist, you are already making one of the best investments in improving how your team operates. You’ll most probably redeem the cost per user in the first few days of the month, just by replacing a few standup meetings with status threads in Twist. Or by helping your team get into that <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/how-to-use-twist-to-do-deep-work-CFwyOl34">deep work</a> state to do their best, instead of getting distracted by endless chat and messy internal emails.</p>
<h4>Do I have to pay anything if I'm a member of a team?</h4>
<p>A member does not have to pay for Twist. Payment is only done at a team level, and only the team admin who gave their credit card information is responsible for paying for a Twist team.</p>
<p>You can be a member of as many teams as you'd like, and whether they're on Unlimited plans or Free plans, you don’t have to pay anything yourself.</p>
<h4>When I create a new team does it fall under the same billing account as my first team?</h4>
<p>Yes. You can create as many teams as you'd like under your one Unlimited account that handles the billing for every team you manage. Each new team has its own workspace and won't be connected in any way other than billing.</p>
<h4>Do I have to pay for the same person multiple times if they are on multiple different teams?</h4>
<p>Yes. You pay a set price per user, per month, <em>per team</em>.</p>
<p>For instance, if you have two teams, you will be charged for every user on the first team <em>and</em> every user on the second team.</p>
<p>You may be better off <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/should-i-create-a-new-team-or-a-new-channel-r2KEzaYU">creating new channels rather than a new team.</a></p>
<h4>Can I cancel my Unlimited plan at any time?</h4>
<p>Yes, absolutely. There’s no minimum contract for Twist — you can cancel at any time without penalty. However, please note that when you cancel your Unlimited plan, you'll immediately get switched to the Free plan.</p>
<p>All of your account history will remain intact, be stored securely on our servers and never deleted. However, once your account is switched to the Free plan, the 1 month history limit is applied. You’ll no longer have access to any content or account history older than 1 month.</p>
<h4>Do you offer refunds?</h4>
<p>If you cancel your plan within 30 days of the purchase, you are eligible for a full refund in accordance with our refund policy. To receive a refund, please follow the steps in <a href="https://twist.com/help/articles/how-can-i-get-a-refund-D5DbKmnJ">this Help Center article</a>.</p>
<h4>How can I switch the billing cycle?</h4>
<p>If you are looking to switch your billing cycle to Annual or Monthly, here's how:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log in to Twist in a browser.</li>
<li>Click your <strong>team icon</strong> in the top-left corner.</li>
