App Store free-trial mechanics
If you start a trial and don't cancel before it ends, Apple converts it to paid automatically — that's how StoreKit works for subscriptions. Cancel any time through Apple's subscription tools at support.apple.com/102377. Your access continues until the period you've paid for ends.
03What's free
30 minutes a day.
No card. No expiry.
Unlimited recording
No daily cap. Plus the local Qwen 3.5 4B for smarter polish, Genius mode, and (opt-in) Cloud Polish via GPT-4o for the best output.
No telemetry, no ads, no upsells
Telemetry is opt-in (off by default). Cloud Polish is opt-in (off by default). The free tier is a real product, not a starter pen for upselling.
04Refund policy
If it's not a fit,
get your money back.
30-day money-back · direct
Email support@techbantu.us within 30 days of your charge with the email you bought with. We refund the most recent paid period via Stripe to your original payment method. One refund per email per rolling 12 months. Subject to the abuse rules in our Refund Policy.
EU / UK consumers
Statutory 14-day right to withdraw under Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, in addition to the 30-day money-back. Email legal@techbantu.us within the withdrawal window. Note: starting Pro features waives the withdrawal right once Company has fully performed.
App Store
Apple administers App Store refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can help you find purchase identifiers — but Apple makes the final call.
