Why Premium costs $2.99/month
Every receipt scan runs through a paid AI model (Google Gemini). Storage and sync run on AWS. The Premium price covers those direct per-user costs plus development time — and that's it. No investor pressure, no growth-at-all-costs pricing, no manipulative trials. The yearly plan saves you roughly 44% if you know you'll keep using the app.
How billing works
Subscriptions are managed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account, processed by RevenueCat. Your payment details never touch our servers. You can change plans, cancel, or request a refund through the platform store at any time. If you cancel, you keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period and your data is preserved on the Free plan.
What happens to my data if I cancel or delete my account?
Cancelling Premium has no effect on your stored receipts — you simply revert to the Free tier with its monthly scan cap. Deleting your account from inside the app removes every receipt, household record, and personal detail within 30 days. There is no \"soft delete\" or hidden retention. You can review the full privacy policy for the legal detail.
