Questions about billing

Does Plus have a free trial?

Yes — 5 days on both plans. Cancel before it ends and you won't be charged.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Account → Manage subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — we don't pro-rate.

Do you offer refunds?

Full refund within 14 days if you haven't used paid features. After that, at our discretion — see our Refunds policy.

What happens if my card fails?

We retry over 7 days. After that, your account downgrades to Free; your saved words stay safe.

Is there a discount for students or teams?

Not yet. Email hello@vocabay.com if you'd want one.

Who handles billing?

Polar.sh is our merchant of record. Stripe sits underneath; we never see your card details.
