<Note>
  During the beta, every signed-in user is automatically upgraded to Pro at no cost. Anonymous users can still use Echophrase without an account, subject to the limits above.
</Note>

## What Happens After Beta

Once the beta period ends:

* **Pro becomes a paid subscription** (monthly or annual)
* **Free tier is always available** with a 5-minute daily recording limit, basic models, and local storage
* Your account and settings carry over seamlessly

<Note>
  All voice processing remains 100% local regardless of tier. Your audio never leaves your machine.
</Note>

## Enterprise

For teams and organizations that need centralized identity management.

## Beta Participant Perk

As a thank-you for helping shape Echophrase during beta, you can **lock in 50% off Pro for life**. Apply the coupon code **`BETA50`** at checkout on the [pricing page](https://echophrase.com/pricing).

This is a grandfathered rate, not a first-year promo: once you subscribe with `BETA50`, you keep the 50% discount for as long as your subscription stays active. It only ends if you cancel.

<Warning>
  You must lock in the rate **before the beta ends**. Once we launch, the `BETA50` code stops working - so subscribe while the beta is still running to keep the discount for life.
</Warning>
