Simple and Standard Are Not Pricing Tiers — Both Are 100% Free
KasbPro has a Light (Simple) mode and a Standard (Full) mode. Neither costs anything. Here is what they actually control, and the short, exact list of what is genuinely paid.
What Light (Simple) Mode Actually Hides — and Why None of It Costs Money
Light mode trims KasbPro down to short forms and the essentials. It is not a limited free trial of a bigger paid product — it is the same free plan, just quieter. Here is exactly what changes.
What Standard (Full) Mode Actually Unlocks — and Why It Is Still Free
Standard mode turns on every module and shows every detail field. It looks like the "premium" option. It is not — it is the same free plan with more of the menu visible at once.
The Complete, Short List of What Is Actually Paid in KasbPro
No vague "premium features" language — the exact, named list of what Pro adds, what it costs, and why those specific things and nothing else. Everything not on this list is free, on any mode, forever.

Why our referral reward goes to both sides, and why it is months not money
Most referral schemes pay the referrer and leave the friend paying full price. Three design decisions behind the KasbPro programme, and what each one costs us.
Why our referral programme has no cap: the unit economics, in public
Most referral schemes are capped because the maths stops working. Ours is not. Here are the actual numbers behind the KasbPro programme and why we can leave it open.
How to use KasbPro Pro free for life (and why most people should not bother)
Keep referring and Pro stays free indefinitely — there is no cap. But most small businesses never need Pro at all. An honest look at when this is worth your time.
