Prices shown are App Store prices in US dollars; they vary by country, and Google Play prices may differ. Purchases are completed inside the app.
Premium and Lifetime do not include the one-time purchase translations (ESV, NIV, CSB, NKJV and the NVI editions). Those are bought separately because their publishers license them that way.
On iPad, writing starts with a free 14-day trial that needs no payment details and never charges you. Monthly and yearly subscriptions also include a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers (one per Apple ID). After that trial, your Apple ID account will be charged and renewed automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or subscription period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase.
Available features may differ between platforms as we continue to iterate. We reserve the right to change pricing and terms at any time.
