Automatic renewal
Pro Monthly, Pro Annual and Founders are subscriptions that renew automatically at the same price until you cancel:
- Pro Monthly renews every month at $15.
- Pro Annual renews every year at $99.
- Founders renews every year at $59, a price that stays locked for as long as you keep renewing.
You can cancel anytime in the Stripe billing portal. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and your license stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. The Week Pass ($9) and Lifetime ($299) are one-time payments that never renew. See the refund policy and terms for details.
