How billing actually works here: what you buy, when you are charged, and how to stop.
Shorty sells one thing: a subscription. There are no credits to buy, nothing to run out of mid-job, and no one-off charges bolted onto a plan you already pay for.
A subscription renews automatically at the same price each period, whether you ran a hundred conversions or none. Nothing is metered or billed by usage, so a quiet month costs exactly what a busy one does — and cancelling is what stops the next charge.
Starting a trial requires a card, and the card is not charged during the 7 days. When the trial ends it becomes a paid subscription at the price shown on your plan above. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing at all.
Cancel from Settings in a couple of clicks — no email, no retention maze. A cancelled subscription keeps full access until the period you already paid for runs out. If a renewal payment fails we email you, keep retrying the card on file, and premium access returns the moment a payment goes through — nothing you created is ever lost.

No. The free tier is free forever — no card required, no expiry date. Upgrade only when your files outgrow the free limits.
Start it once from any paid plan card: add a card, pay $0 today, and get the full paid limits for 7 days. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged. You can also switch between paid plans during the trial for free — the trial keeps its original end date.
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing or via the Manage billing link on this page. Your access stays active until the end of the billing period you already paid for.
Open Settings → Billing after signing in, or use the Manage billing link that appears on this page once subscribed. If you subscribed through an app store, manage it directly there.
Nothing changes until the period ends. After that, new jobs are capped at the free limits — existing transcriptions and converted files are not affected.
