Questions from the bench

Is the Free plan a time-limited trial?

No. The Free plan is permanently free with no credit card required and never a time-limited trial. You can build and publish multi-page websites, run an online store with unlimited products, teach online courses with video streaming and certificates, use full SEO, access analytics, collect forms, and collaborate with your team for free. You only upgrade to Pro or Business for custom domains, branding removal, higher storage and content quotas, or lower store fees.

Are plans billed per website or per account? Do you charge per seat for team members?

Subscriptions are billed per individual website, while team collaboration is 100% free with zero per-seat charges. A single account can manage multiple websites simultaneously—for example, a personal portfolio on Free while your primary brand store is on Pro or Business. Every website lets you invite team members at no extra cost and assign up to 20 custom roles per site.

Can I use a custom frontend with Kanorio?

Yes. Kanorio offers a Headless mode where you can build your own frontend and connect to the same backoffice for content and orders. You get access to the Content Delivery API, TypeScript SDK, React components (Elements), and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for connecting AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to manage content and build pages.

What is the difference between monthly and annual billing? Do you offer an education discount?

Annual billing equals 10 months of monthly billing (giving you 2 months free, saving ~17%), while your monthly AI credits (1,500 on Pro, 15,000 on Business) and monthly marketing email allowances (500 on Pro, 10,000 on Business) still automatically reset and replenish every month. In addition, verified students and faculty members (e.g., with a .edu or institutional email) receive an extra 50% education discount on their first year of any annual plan.

Can I change or cancel my subscription anytime? What happens to my site and data if I downgrade or leave?

You can cancel auto-renewal anytime in one click with no lock-in contract. When your billing period ends and the site returns to the Free plan, your website stays live and zero data is deleted—all pages, blog posts, products, media files, and 301 redirects remain intact and continue running on your free .kanorio.com subdomain (only custom domains pause and new uploads pause if storage exceeds the free allowance). On every plan including Free, you can export your full site structure (JSON), blog posts (clean Markdown), original media files (ZIP), and orders/contacts (CSV) at any time.
