How to subscribe
- 1Free AI tiers have widened enough that some months the honest answer is no, so decide whether you actually need the paid tier this month.
- 2Subscribe through the web app rather than the phone app so you can use standard Visa/Mastercard billing with Apple Pay and Google Pay widely accepted instead of being forced through an app-store cut.
- 3The checkout is boring by design; the savings come from picking the right plan or storefront, not the payment method.
- 4Watch the first renewal email closely — AI plans have shifted prices mid-cycle more than once in 2026.
