We only need the form for 6 months but need the data year round.

Please note that you can upgrade or downgrade your account any time. If you need to upgrade your account for only 6 months, you can upgrade your account and then cancel your subscription anytime after the 6th month's subscription renewal. You may like to take a look at the following guides which should help you:

Cancel subscription:  https://www.jotform.com/help/341-How-to-Cancel-a-Subscription-and-downgrade-back-to-free

Please note that free account has limit on how many submission data you can retain in your account. In free account you have submission storage limit of 500 submissions and if you have more then 500 submissions after you cancel your subscription, all submissions in excess of 500 submissions will be deleted automatically. 

Do we pay the same rate for the entire year?

Please note that JotForm is a subscription based service and once you upgrade your account, it remains active unless you cancel your subscription yourself. Since you need subscription only for 6 months and once you upgrade your account, the subscription amount remains same.
