What's in Halo Plus, and Why
the Free Tier Is Genuinely Enough

A lot of free tiers are free in name only, deliberately limited enough to feel unusable until you pay. That wasn't the goal here. For one pet with a straightforward routine, the free version of Halo is meant to be genuinely enough, not a trial.

What's free, permanently

None of this is a watered-down version. It's the same tracking, the same reminders, the same sharing, just scoped to a single pet with a recent history window rather than an unlimited one.

What Halo Plus actually adds

Plus exists for two specific situations: more than one pet, or wanting the full historical record rather than a recent window. It unlocks unlimited pet profiles and the complete history behind every chart, useful at a vet appointment eighteen months in, less useful in the first few weeks.

Worth knowing: nothing about the free tier changes or degrades over time. It isn't a 30-day trial with a countdown, it's a permanent tier built for exactly the situation it covers, one pet, current tracking.

Who actually needs to upgrade

If you're managing more than one pet, or you're far enough into tracking a chronic condition that the full trend line matters more than the recent one, Plus solves a real problem. If neither applies yet, there's no reason to pay for something you won't use, and nothing in the app tries to talk you into it.

Why it works this way

The point of Halo was never to convert as many people as possible to a paid tier, it was to make sure anyone managing a pet's health has a real tool available, regardless of budget. Plus funds that without gatekeeping the basics behind it.

Start free, upgrade only if you need to

Halo Plus unlocks unlimited pets and full history, whenever that's actually useful for you.
