  If I upgrade to a premium plan, can I still invite free, basic users to edit and contribute to my blog? Or will the other users need to upgrade their account to edit or post on my blog?

  There’s no upgrade required to add official users to your blog and getting upgrades for your blog make no difference to them at all.

  If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
  See here:

  They need WordPress.COM accounts but not blogs. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.

  Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

  The limit is 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.
