What happens after the first two weeks?
You land on the free plan. Nothing is charged, there is no card on file with us, and the two weeks are not a trial that flips into a bill — Apple shows the price once more before you ever confirm.
On free, the most recent 250 photos stay read, sorted and askable, for as long as you want. What stops is the reading: nothing new comes in until you pick a size.
What happens when I outgrow my plan?
Nothing breaks. What Balise read stays read, and new photos keep landing as you shoot. What stops is the past: at the cap it stops going further back, and the app tells you.
Move up a size in the app, in Settings, whenever you want. Apple charges the difference for the rest of the period, and no photo gets read twice.
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 read for 90 days, in case you come back — reactivate inside that window and nothing is re-read. Past 90 days it comes back to the free plan: 250 photos kept, the rest deleted.
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 price by size and not by features?
Because size is what costs us. Every photo goes to a model that reads it, and a 50,000-photo roll costs about five times a 10,000 one. Charging for “pro features” would mean hiding things behind a label. Everyone gets the same app. You pay for the roll you have.
