Add it any time from Circle settings.

Every circle starts free. The subscription is per circle, and one member pays for everyone.

## Common questions

**Who pays?**
One member, for the whole circle. The subscription is per circle, not per person, so everyone else is in for free.

**Can we subscribe later?**
Yes. Start free, and any member can add the subscription from Circle settings whenever the circle wants more people or the full archive.

**What happens when a free circle is full?**
No new spots open until someone leaves, or a member purchases a subscription for the circle. A paid circle gets room for more members.

**What happens to older posts on a free circle?**
They are kept, not deleted. You'll see them again when the subscription starts and the full archive opens up.

**What happens if I stop the subscription?**
The circle stays open. It goes back to the free size, recent posts stay visible, and no new custom sharing albums can be created. Nothing is deleted, and you can download everything at any time. If you resubscribe, your circle archive opens back up to the very beginning.

**Are there any hidden fees?**
No. A free circle is free for as long as you like. The subscription is per circle, renews automatically, and you can cancel any time.

**How many free circles can I have?**
You can create a limited number yourself. Circles you join, and circles with a subscription, have no limits.
