Pricing FAQ

Common questions.

Is Starter really free?
$0 forever. No credit card, no trial countdown, no "surprise, pay us" screen. Starter covers food logging, barcode scanning, macro tracking, workout logging, saved foods and meals, basic reminders, streaks, core progress, and 5 monthly AI logging credits. We make money when Premium earns it, not by hiding the basics in a closet.
What is included in PlateStack Starter?
Starter includes food search, barcode scanning, saved foods, saved meals and recipes, macro tracking, workout logging, Daily Wins, quests, streaks, basic reminders, core progress, 1 active goal, and 5 monthly AI logging credits for photo, label, and voice logging.
What does Premium add over Starter?
Premium unlocks the complete system: full AI Coach access (powered by Claude), unlimited AI photo/label/voice logging, 7-day AI meal plans, Custom Habits, pre-window fasting reminders, long-range progress, multiple active goals, weekly insights, advanced Squad & League tools, and priority access to new features.
Can I stay on Starter forever?
Yes. Starter has no time limit. You can track your food, log workouts, monitor macros, and build a streak indefinitely at no cost. Upgrade to Premium whenever you want the full system — or never.
What paid plans are available at launch?
PlateStack Premium launches with Monthly at $8.99/month and Annual at $49.99/year. Annual includes a 7-day free trial and drops the effective monthly cost to about $4.17. There is no Lifetime plan at launch. Clean pricing, very refreshing, we know.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), so you cancel from your normal subscriptions screen. Access continues until the end of the paid period.
Are there refunds?
Subscriptions follow the App Store / Google Play refund process. For anything unusual, email [email protected] — a real person reads every message, and we're not going to make it weird over a subscription issue.
Will I lose features if I downgrade?
You keep all your data. Premium AI features (Coach chat, meal-plan generator, and unlimited AI photo/label/voice logging) require an active subscription, but your logs, PRs, streaks, and achievements stay yours.

Wellness disclaimer: PlateStack is a fitness and nutrition tracking app for general wellness and educational support. Calorie estimates, macro targets, and AI Coach guidance are informational only — not medical advice.

Mobile purchases, renewals, cancellations, refunds, package changes, billing issues, and restores are managed through the App Store or Google Play. Web checkout purchases are managed through Stripe and support via [email protected]. PlateStack does not offer a Lifetime plan at launch. Clean and boring, exactly how billing should be.

Annual is the smart-money move.

Start free. Upgrade when you want the full stack. Annual gives you the trial and the best value; Monthly gives you flexibility.
