Pricing questions
The Fine Print, in Plain Words
Is Pro a subscription?
Only if you want it to be. Pro comes as a yearly plan with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, a monthly plan, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Apple handles the payment; cancel any time in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
What happens to my documents when Pro ends?
They stay as they are. Signed, merged and searchable PDFs never get locked, you can still open, share, rename, move and delete everything, and search goes back to titles. Pro features themselves (new OCR, Send To, sign, merge, split, password, app lock) wait until Pro is back.
Is OCR free?
No. Text recognition (OCR) and full-text search are Pro features. Smart naming is free and reads the first pages in memory without adding a text layer. A document that already has a text layer keeps it, whatever your plan, unless you edit its pages without Pro (PlainCopy asks first).
Does the free version add a watermark?
No. Exports never get a watermark, on the free plan or on Pro. That is written in the app's promise.
