Pricing

Three plans, and no fourth thing to buy

All prices are in United States dollars (USD). Prices exclude tax. Sales tax is added at checkout where it applies to your location. No trials of a paid plan, no discount codes, no introductory rates and no countdowns — the price on this page is the price.

What an action costs

Allowance is spent per action. It resets each period and does not carry over.

There are no credit packs, no top-ups, no stored balance and no gift cards. An allowance is not money, is not stored value, cannot be redeemed for cash and cannot be transferred.

Where the line is, and why

Free gives you the morning figure — the minutes a style costs before you leave the house. The year total, the list of what changes in your week and the take-down figure are on the paid tiers.

Ten minutes a morning sounds like nothing, and that is the problem. The same style stated as sixty hours a year, nine appointments and two take-downs is a different piece of information, and it is the one that changes people's minds. A style you regret is months of your life, so this is the cheap part of the decision.

The health boundary and the list of everything the estimate cannot know are shown in full on every tier, including the free one, and the watermark cannot reach either of them.

What happens at checkout

Everything you are agreeing to, before you agree to it

These five things appear together on one screen, in the same size as each other, with nothing folded away, before a payment method is asked for. Then one box, which is not ticked for you, takes your consent to the recurring charge.

  1. 01

    Which plan you are subscribing to and what it includes

  2. 02

    The amount, in United States dollars, before tax

  3. 03

    When the first charge happens and what it will be after tax

  4. 04

    That it renews automatically, on which date, and at what price

  5. 05

    How to cancel — where the control is and how many clicks it takes

And how it ends

Sign in, open Billing, choose Cancel subscription, then Confirm. Two clicks, in the same place you started it, with no telephone step, no email step, no ticket and nothing put in front of you on the way out. Your plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for; we do not refund part of a period.

Every charge is followed by a receipt carrying those instructions, and once a year a separate email — carrying nothing else — reminds you the subscription is running. On your statement it appears as ROOTINE. The full cancellation and refund policy.
