What Free and Pro include, how the trial and billing portal work, and what happens when a subscription lapses.

See the full tool list and which plan each one needs on the tools catalog. Export formats and what runs where are covered in Exporting.
Prices are shown on /pricing in USD, with monthly or annual billing, and the full feature grid is on /compare-plans. Pricing is not repeated here because it is pulled live from Stripe.
While MEP Tools is in public beta, a dismissible notice at the top of the app describes the current state of paid plans. Before paid plans opened, every tool was open to everyone; once they opened, the notice describes the beta refund promise — see Refunds & cancellation.
A 7-day free trial is available on the paid plan you select. A payment card is required up front, and you get one trial per person and per email address.
Starting a trial requires a verified email address — verify from the banner or your account page first if you haven't already.
Everything below is on /billing:
If your plan was granted by an administrator, the self-service actions above are replaced with a message to contact support — there's nothing to cancel or update yourself.
Cancelling takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep access to your Pro features until then, and there is no refund for the remaining time — see Refunds & cancellation for the full policy. If you change your mind before the period ends, resume the subscription from /billing.
If a renewal payment fails, a banner appears telling you to update your payment method to keep your subscription. Access continues during a short grace period (3 days by default). If payment still hasn't succeeded by the end of the grace period, the account is downgraded to Free.
If you're over the Free plan's 3-project limit when your account downgrades — whether by cancellation or a failed payment — the most recently updated projects stay unlocked and the rest become locked. A locked project can still be opened, viewed, exported and deleted, but not saved, autosaved or renamed. See Projects for details on locked projects.
