7-day free trial
- Every account can use Pro free for 7 days, once.
- No card or payment method needed, and nothing is charged when the trial ends.
- After 7 days the account goes back to Free. Your study history stays.
- Deleting the account and signing up again with the same email doesn’t start a new trial.
- A promo code can extend the trial.
Start the trial from Plan & usage in the extension’s settings.
Upgrading to Pro
- In the extension’s settings, go to Account and sign in with an email code.
- Open Plan & usage and click Upgrade to Pro. The Cuebird checkout page opens.
- Choose a billing period and pay. Enter a discount code at checkout if you have one.
- Once the payment is confirmed, Pro turns on for every computer signed in to your account.
Payment and tax
Payments are handled by Paddle, Cuebird’s merchant of record and reseller. Paddle takes the payment, calculates and remits VAT or sales tax, issues receipts and processes refunds, so your card statement may show Paddle’s name.
Your purchase is covered by the Paddle Buyer Terms, and your use of the service by Cuebird’s Terms of Service. Card details go straight to Paddle; Cuebird never sees your full card number. Available payment methods vary by country.
Managing and cancelling
In settings → Plan & usage, Manage subscription opens Paddle’s customer portal. Cancel, change your payment method, or download invoices there.
- You can cancel at any time. Pro stays on until the end of the period you’ve paid for, then the account goes back to Free.
- After cancelling, no further renewal payment is taken.
If a payment fails
If a renewal payment fails, Paddle retries it over the following days, and you keep Pro for 7 days meanwhile. Update your payment method under Manage subscription within that time and nothing is interrupted. If the payment still hasn’t gone through after 7 days, the account goes back to Free.
Refunds
Your first subscription payment is refundable if you ask within 14 days of paying. Paddle refunds it to the payment method you used. Statutory withdrawal rights by country and the rules for renewals are in the Refund Policy.
Questions
Will I be charged when the trial ends?
No. You don’t add a card to start the trial, so there’s nothing to charge. After 7 days your account goes back to Free. Subscribe yourself only if you want to keep Pro.
Do I lose anything when I go back to Free?
No. Your words, cards, recordings and files stay where they are, and the free account keeps syncing. Server features go back to the free daily allowance, and server transcription of your files is no longer available.
Can I buy without signing in?
No. Pro belongs to an account, so sign in with an email code first. Pro then applies on every computer signed in to that account.
Where do I get receipts?
Paddle emails a receipt to the address used at checkout. Past receipts are also under Manage subscription.
Where do I enter a discount code?
Checkout has a field for discount codes. A promo code you received from Cuebird may instead extend your free trial; each code says where and how it applies.
