Why pay when other trackers are free?

Fair question, and free is genuinely the right plan for a lot of people. Three cards, forever, with 5 smart scans, unlimited on-device scanning, the reminders and the barcode at the register. If that is your whole wallet, stay on it.

Pro pays for the part that costs money every month: encrypted sync and the cloud backup you can restore onto a new phone. We would rather charge $4.99 for that than pay for it by selling what is in your wallet.

Priced in dollars, not your data. We never sell or share your personal data, on any plan. Card numbers are encrypted on your device before anything syncs, and your PIN is kept in the iOS Keychain and never syncs to our servers. Cloud scanning is the exception: the card photo is uploaded, and the PIN is printed on the card. The privacy policy spells it out.

Questions about price

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The yearly plan starts with 7 days free. You are not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel inside those 7 days from Settings on your iPhone.

How do I cancel?

Settings, your Apple Account, Subscriptions, CardCue Pro. Apple handles it, so it takes about ten seconds and does not involve emailing us.

What happens to my cards if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted. Every card you already added stays in your wallet and stays usable. You just cannot add new ones past three until you are back under the free limit or back on Pro.

Do I need an account?

Not to use the app. Only for cloud backup and restoring your wallet onto another device.

Is it on Android?

Not yet. CardCue Pro is an iPhone app today, with an Apple Watch app included on every plan, free ones too.
