How InkMap Premium works

• What's always free

  These are free forever, on every account type:

  • Browsing the feeds, the map, search, and filters.
  • Your profile, your portfolio, and your public web page.
  • Posting your work, following and being followed.
  • Messaging and bookmarking.
  • The trust, reviews, and moderation system.
  • For collectors: everything. There is nothing for a collector to pay for, and no trial — collectors have full access at no cost, always.

  Premium only ever covers the business tools layered on top, and only for practitioners and studios.

• The three-month free trial

  Every new practitioner and studio account starts with a three-month free trial with every premium tool unlocked. There's no card to enter and nothing to set up — the trial starts on its own when you create the account, and a countdown shows how long is left.

  When the trial ends, the premium tools lock, but nothing you've already started breaks and nothing is deleted. When your free trial ends covers exactly what keeps working and what stops.

• Tools one at a time, or in a bundle

  Premium is à la carte: each tool has its own monthly price and you can turn on just the ones you want. If you want several, a bundle groups them at a lower combined price than buying them separately.

  • Practitioners choose from individual tools or the Essentials and Full Toolkit bundles. Some tools are only available to tattoo artists — see the practitioner guide.
  • Studios choose from individual tools or the Discovery and Full Studio Suite bundles — see the studio guide.

  You can mix and change at any time: add a tool, drop one, or switch to a bundle. Changes that cost more take effect right away; changes that cost less take effect when your current paid period ends.

• Monthly or annual

  Every tool and bundle can be billed monthly or annually. Paying annually is cheaper per month — as an early-adopter launch offer, an annual plan gives you three months free (a 25% saving) compared to paying month by month. The standard annual saving after the launch window is two months free (about 17%).

• Where you buy and manage it

  You browse, buy, change, and cancel premium plans on the web at inkmap.app, not inside the phone app. The app's Premium screen shows what you currently have and a Manage on the web button that opens the billing page already signed in to your account.

  This split is deliberate: it's how apps like Notion, Slack, and Netflix handle subscriptions, and it keeps Apple's and Google's app-store cut out of your subscription price. Managing your subscription walks through it. (Money a client pays you for a tattoo or service is completely separate — that runs through the booking system and isn't a premium charge.)

• One trial and plan per account

  If you run more than one account — say a tattoo artist account and a piercer account, or two studios — each account is its own world: its own three-month trial, its own tools, its own billing. Turning a tool on for one account doesn't turn it on for another.

Frequently asked questions

Do collectors ever pay for anything?

No. Collector accounts have full access to everything InkMap does, for free, with no trial and no premium tools to buy. Premium is only for practitioner and studio accounts, who use it to run their business.

Do I have to enter a card to start the trial?

No. The three-month trial starts automatically when you create a practitioner or studio account, with everything unlocked and no payment details required.

Will I lose my data if I don't subscribe when the trial ends?

No. Nothing is deleted. The premium tools lock for new actions, but your bookings, stats history, and everything else are preserved and come right back if you subscribe later. See When your free trial ends.

Why can't I buy a plan inside the app?

Buying and managing plans happens on the web at inkmap.app. Tap Manage on the web on the Premium screen and you'll land on the billing page already signed in. See Managing your subscription.
