You stay on free forever. No surprise paywall, no slow degradation of features, no nagging modal that grows in size each week.
You can remain on Free indefinitely. You can browse Home and Network, accept incoming connection requests, read incoming DMs, and reply to up to 3 each day.
Ask, sending connection requests, full compatibility, non-connection profile views, and DM replies beyond the free allowance use Sparks or Premium as shown in the app.
Free members are full members of the network. Payment changes feature limits, not a person's value or place in Cofelt.
If you ever decide to upgrade, your data, your connections, your history are all right there. Nothing to migrate, nothing to redo.
