Billing questions
Is there really a free version?
Yes, and it isn't a demo. Logging flights, status refreshed when you open the app from 24 hours before departure to landing, sharing a flight as a link, your complete travel history and passport, kept forever and never trimmed to make a point, boarding passes you scan or import, trip notes and packing lists, import from your calendar or a pasted booking email, a home-screen widget and a year-in-review card to share are all free forever, with no ads, no card and no account. Pro ($49.99/year, $7.99/month, or $3.99/week as a weekly plan for the weeks you travel, cancel anytime, with a 1-week free trial) is for when you want the app to do the watching: continuous tracking, live alerts with quiet hours, delay predictions, the live map, airport boards, flight-log export, passport insights, and the cosmetic extras. Watching a flight costs us money for every minute it's in the air. The parts that cost us nothing shouldn't cost you anything either.
How does the free trial work?
Pro starts with a free trial, currently one week. Google Play shows its length before you subscribe. You won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then at no cost.
I only fly once or twice a year. Do I have to subscribe annually?
No. There is a weekly plan at $3.99 a week for the weeks you travel. It renews each week until you cancel it, so turn it off in your Google Play subscriptions when you are home. Everything you logged stays in your passport either way.
Is there a lifetime plan?
No, and it isn't an oversight. Every flight we watch for you costs us money in live aviation data, for as long as you keep flying. A one-time payment against a cost that never stops has only two endings. Either the app quietly stops being maintained, or the promise gets broken later on. We'd rather charge honestly now than sell you a word we can't keep.
Other trackers cost less. Why does FlightDex cost what it does?
We aren't the cheapest, and that's deliberate. Nothing else is paying for this. No ads, no trackers, no selling anyone's data, and your boarding passes sit encrypted on your phone rather than on a server we'd have to run. So the live flight data comes out of subscriptions. The free plan is real and stays free; Pro covers the part that costs us money for every minute your flight is in the air.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Payments are handled securely through Google Play using the payment method on your Google account. FlightDex never sees your card. You can cancel anytime from your Google Play subscriptions; you'll keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for.
Do I need an account to subscribe?
No FlightDex account is required. Your Pro subscription is tied to your Google account, so "Restore purchases" brings it back on a new device.
