# What Does “5 Months Free” Actually Mean?
## If you’ve seen one of our promos offering “5 months free,” you might be wondering how that works — especially if you’re already a member. Let’s break it down.
### 🧾 The Promo Math
The “5 months free” offer is based on our **monthly Standard Plan**, which is $12/month.
Here’s how it works:
- $12 x 12 months = $144
- Promo brings the price down to **$84/year**
- That’s a **$60 savings**, or the equivalent of 5 months free compared to paying monthly
It’s designed for monthly users considering the switch to an annual subscription.

### 💡 Why It Might Seem Confusing
Our regular annual price is already discounted at $129, so if you’re comparing to that, the savings looks more like 3.75 months. But the promo is based on **monthly pricing**, not the annual base rate — which is why the “5 months free” framing still applies.
---
### 🤔 What If I’m Already on an Annual Plan?
This offer is intended for users on monthly billing. If you’re already on annual and are curious about pricing or plan options, we recommend checking your account under [**Manage Your Subscription**](https://www.point.me/settings/account). Everything you need to review your plan, renewal date, or make changes is right there.

### 🧠 TL;DR
- “5 months free” = $60 off the monthly rate
- Promo brings the annual price to $84
- Best suited for users switching from monthly to annual
- You can view and manage your subscription anytime in your [account settings](https://www.point.me/settings/account)
