### Step 4: Choose your billing frequency

Before starting your free trial, select whether you'd prefer to be billed monthly or annually after your trial ends:

* Toggle the "Pay yearly" switch **ON** for annual billing (\$192.00/year)
* Leave the toggle **OFF** for monthly billing (\$20.00/month)

<Tip>
  **Save with Annual Billing**

  Choosing annual billing saves you \$120 per year compared to monthly billing. That's equivalent to getting more than 4 months free!
