Balise

Plans · full preview first

Keep the meaning, not a meter.

The whole thing, free for 90 days. Then Trace keeps your collections current, while Blaze keeps turning new photos into a living Memory. History packs are separate: reach further back when you want, without a larger plan.

Yearly saves about 20% and includes history credits upfront.

Prices are in US dollars; Apple shows the price in your currency before you buy. Each account needs its own plan; a second phone on the same Apple account is fine. The plain-words version of all this is in the terms.

Go further back

History is a one-time choice.

Plans cover the new photos you keep taking. Credits let Balise go through older photos once, and the knowledge stays. Buy them only when you want them.

The questions people ask about paying

What happens after the 90-day preview?

Nothing is charged automatically. Choose Trace to keep collections current, or Blaze to keep collections and Memory growing. If you choose neither, processing pauses and we retain your Balise data for 90 days so you can resume without starting over.

What happens to Memory on Trace?

It stays saved, open and searchable. Trace keeps your photo collections current, but Memory pauses: no new nights, no new stories or connections. Move to Blaze whenever you want it to continue.

Can I cancel?

Yes, whenever. It is an Apple subscription: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Balise. You keep the plan to the end of the period you paid for.

After that we keep everything Balise learned for 90 days, in case you come back — reactivate inside that window and nothing has to be learned twice. After 90 days we delete what Balise learned.

If I delete my Balise data, does that cancel the subscription?

No, and that is on purpose. Delete all Balise data wipes what we learned, right away. The subscription lives with Apple; cancel it there. Two different buttons, so neither one surprises you.

Students, families, two phones?

No Family Sharing: each account needs its own plan. A second phone on the same Apple account is fine; sign in and it’s there. No student price.

Why are history and Memory priced separately?

History is a one-time pass, so it belongs in one-time packs. The subscription pays for the ongoing work: new photos arriving, collections staying current, and on Blaze, Memory continuing to connect them over time.

Everything else, on the FAQ. The exact wording is in the terms, section 9; if this page and the terms disagree, the terms win.
