  Is there a maximum number of users with the free service?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can invite 10 users at a time, but there is not a maximum number of users you can invite.

  Note that readers on a private blog must have a WordPress.com account (not a blog) which is how wp.com identifies whether or not someone is allowed to view your private site. They would choose a username and provide an email address to set up the account. It’s the email address that tells wp.com if a person is, or is not, allowed to view your private site.

  Thanks! I’m looking to have about 150 users. Would any of the upgrades allow me not to have to add people ten at a time?

  No, I think that is a limitation set so that you won’t look like a spammer when you send out the emails. It applies to all accounts on wp.com regardless of upgrades.
