Billing, trials and cancelling

Which plans have a free trial?

Monthly: 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Annual: 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no trial.

Trials are for people who haven’t subscribed to Spotter before. The store shows the exact terms, and the date you’ll be charged, before you confirm.

When am I charged?

At the end of the free trial if you took one, otherwise when you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year until you cancel. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or period ends to avoid the next charge.

How do I cancel?

With the store that bills you: on iPhone, Settings → your name → Subscriptions (Apple’s steps); on Android, Google Play → profile → Payments & subscriptions (Google’s steps). Premium stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel it.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds go through the store: Apple or Google Play’s order history. If that doesn’t work out, email us.

I already paid. How do I get Premium on a new phone?

Sign in with the same account, then Profile → Upgrade → Restore purchases. Restore steps.

Why is the price different in my country?

Prices here are US prices. Apple and Google set the local price in other countries and show it before you buy.
