Before you decide

Three things worth knowing

No hidden fees

One price, billed once a year. No setup fees, no surprise charges, and you can cancel whenever you like.

Nothing to enter to start

Every new account opens on the full Pro plan for fourteen days — unlimited stories, premium audio. No card, nothing to cancel.

Your progress stays yours

When a trial or subscription ends you keep every review, list and statistic. The free plan keeps your deck working.

Questions people actually ask

Can I change my plan at any time?

Yes! You can switch between monthly and annual billing, or cancel your subscription at any time. Changes will be reflected in your next billing cycle.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every new account automatically starts with a 14-day trial of the full Pro plan: unlimited stories, premium audio, unlimited cards. No credit card required. When it ends you simply move to the free plan.

What happens when my trial ends?

Nothing dramatic. You move to the free plan and keep everything you've learned — your reviews, lists, and stats. Story generation becomes limited to 1 per week, audio switches to browser voices, and your deck keeps working (you just can't grow it past 200 cards).

Why annual billing?

Learning Chinese is a long game — the spaced repetition schedule pays off over months, not days. Annual billing ($79/year, about 45% off monthly) matches that commitment, but a $11.99 monthly plan is there if you prefer it.

I subscribed to Basic — what happens to my plan?

Nothing changes for you. Existing Basic subscribers keep their plan and price — you'll keep unlimited stories and premium audio at $4.99/mo. If you ever want the full Pro feature set, you can upgrade from your account page.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payments are processed securely through Polar, which supports all major credit cards.

Start with everything, then decide

Your first fourteen days are the full Pro plan — unlimited stories, premium audio, unlimited cards. When it ends you simply move to the free plan and keep everything you've learned.
