Free or Pro in Centrio

A complete list of what's included in each plan, and an honest breakdown of when the paid subscription actually pays off — and when the free plan is plenty.

· Reading time: ~5 min

Centrio's free plan isn't a stripped-down trial — it's a full plan with no time limit: you can use the app for as long as you like, as long as three messengers cover your needs. Pro removes that limit and unlocks a set of extensions for people who need more, from folders and VPN to split screen. Here's the breakdown.

What's included in the free plan

  • Up to three messengers at once, with no time limit on usage
  • Isolated sessions for each tab
  • A unified notification system and unread badges
  • Basic appearance themes

What Pro unlocks

  • An unlimited number of connected messengers
  • Folders and workspaces for grouping by project
  • Cloud sync of settings across devices
  • A built-in VPN with VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks and Hysteria2 protocols
  • Split screen — up to four messengers on screen at once
  • An ad blocker, forced dark mode, and the Website Chat widget
  • An AI assistant, notes, and other extensions
  • Custom notification sounds for each messenger

When upgrading is actually worth it

More than three messengers and services: the most direct limit of the free plan — if your work requires four or more services open at once, Pro removes the cap entirely.

Recurring access problems with certain services: the built-in VPN removes the need to install and configure a separate app when some of your services occasionally become unreachable without one.

Too many messengers to find easily in one list: folders and workspaces become noticeably more useful once your tab list no longer fits on one screen without scrolling.

Needing to follow two chats at once: split screen saves time specifically for people who regularly need to watch two sources at the same time instead of switching between them one by one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Centrio for free with no time limit?

Yes, the free plan has no time limit — it isn't a trial, it's a permanent plan with a fixed feature set and a cap of three messengers.

What happens to messengers over the limit if I cancel Pro?

The app automatically hides messengers beyond the free plan's limit — no data is deleted, and access returns as soon as you reactivate Pro.

Does the Pro subscription have a trial period?

Yes, the first time you launch the app without signing in, you get temporary trial access to all Pro features — the trial details are shown right inside the app.

How to price out your own setup

Centrio Pro costs 199 ₽ billed monthly, or 1,590 ₽ billed annually. The annual plan is charged for the full period up front; its monthly-equivalent figure doesn't mean you're billed month to month.

Count actual service instances, not just service names: two Telegram accounts plus one mailbox already take up all three Free slots. Folders, workspaces and cloud sync belong to Pro. Check any extra costs from an AI provider or your own VPN server separately.
