Billing FAQ
Each channel is billed separately. You can use either build, but Pro purchased on the App Store is managed by Apple, and Pro purchased via Stripe is managed in our billing portal. Contact support if you are moving from one to the other so we can help avoid double-paying while you switch.
Subscriptions stay active until the end of the current period, then the app reverts to the free tier (30 minutes per day) unless you have a lifetime license. You can re-subscribe anytime.
