Pricing questions
Why isn't everything free?
Curating 176 tea profiles, translating them, and running the AI identification costs real money, and we'd rather charge clearly than sell your attention. The free tier is a complete daily-driver: 30 teas, the timer, favorites and insights — forever.
What happens when the trial ends?
After 3 days it converts to the yearly plan unless you cancel — Apple and Google both send you a reminder, and so do we. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing; you keep the free tier.
Is lifetime really one payment?
Yes — pay once, enjoy forever, including the monthly content updates. It's the right choice if subscriptions make you itch.
