Is HearthStack Free really free?
Yes. Free is intended to remain a usable plan with all core modules, subject to the published scale limits.
What does Household add?
Household includes everything in Free, with higher limits and HearthStack Kids for chores, pay, Time Off, and Kid View. Kids is included, not a separate add-on fee.
Does one subscription cover the household?
Yes. A Household subscription covers one HearthStack household, up to 8 active members, including the owner and active non-login or child members.
Can I pay monthly?
Household is priced at $5.99/month, or $49.99/year. Choose a billing interval to continue in the app.
What happens if I hit a Free limit?
Existing core records are not deleted when you reach a limit. Creating or reactivating resources beyond it is blocked. Archiving lists or buckets, or disabling Income Rules, can free up room. The new HearthSignal quota resets each household-local calendar month.
What happens if we move back to Free?
Core records are not deleted just because your household is over a Free limit. Adding or reactivating resources still requires room within that limit. Kids records are preserved, but active Kids access requires Household; the ordinary Free Kids screen does not provide full history browsing.
