Managing your subscription

• The Premium screen in the app

  Open your own profile, tap the gear to reach Profile Settings, and tap Go Premium (or My Subscription once you have a plan). You can also reach it from any locked feature's upgrade prompt. The screen is read-only — it tells you where you stand:

  • During your trial: a banner with the days remaining, and your tools listed as unlocked.
  • With a plan: a summary card showing how many tools are active, your billing cycle, and your next billing date, with each tool listed and badged Active (or Until [date] if it's set to stop at the end of the period).
  • On the free plan: a card explaining the core app is still free, with the tools listed as Available to switch on.

  A tool covered by your studio shows a **Provided by your studio** badge, and studios see a read-only count of how many booking licenses are assigned.

• Manage on the web

  At the bottom of the screen is a Manage on the web button (it reads Set up on the web if you don't have a plan yet). Tapping it opens inkmap.app's billing page in your browser — and you land already signed in to the account you're using in the app, so there's no second login.

  The billing page has a public Plans view (anyone can browse the tools, bundles, and monthly/annual prices) and your My Plan view, where everything below happens.

• What you can do on the web

  • Subscribe — pick the tools or a bundle, choose monthly or annual, and pay.
  • Add a tool — it switches on right away, and you're charged a prorated amount for the rest of the current period.
  • Pause a tool — it stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for, then switches off. No charge after that, and your data is kept for whenever you come back.
  • Switch monthly to annual (or back) — moving to annual takes effect immediately with the discount; moving back to monthly takes effect when your annual period ends.
  • Update your payment method or cancel — both from the same place.

  The pattern throughout: changes that cost more apply immediately, changes that cost less apply at the end of the period you've already paid for. You always keep what you paid for until that period runs out.

• Why billing is on the web

  InkMap deliberately keeps subscription pricing and payment out of the phone app and on the website. This is the same approach Notion, Slack, and Netflix use — it keeps the app stores' 15–30% cut out of your subscription price. It's why the app shows no prices and sends you to inkmap.app to pay.

  This only applies to the premium tools you pay InkMap for. Money a client pays you for a tattoo or service is a completely separate system that runs through the booking screen and is unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

I tapped Manage on the web but it asked me to log in. Why?

The app normally passes a one-time sign-in pass so you land already logged in. If that pass can't be created (for example, a connection hiccup), it falls back to opening the plain billing page where you log in as usual — no harm done. Try the button again, or sign in on the web with the same account.

If I pause or cancel a tool, do I get money back for the rest of the month?

No. Cancelling or pausing never refunds the part of the period you've already paid for — you keep access until it ends, and there's no charge after that. The unused portion isn't reimbursed, the same way other subscription services work.

Can I manage one account's plan from another account?

No. Each account has its own separate plan and billing. Switch to the account you want to manage, then open its Premium screen and tap Manage on the web — the billing page opens for that account.
