Free Pro trials, built into Lite.
We don't want you to commit sight-unseen. Every Lite user gets a small allowance of each Pro feature to taste before buying. The counters decrement only — they never reset on uninstall — and live in iCloud against your Apple ID, not on the device. Once you upgrade to Pro, the counters disappear entirely.
| Feature | Free trial allowance |
|---|---|
| FSRS-6 personalized optimizer | 1 run |
| AI card generation sessions | 5 sessions |
| Lecture recording → cards | 1 recording |
| Smart AI quiz sessions | 3 sessions |
.apkg export | 1 export |
Deck re-sync (update an imported .apkg) | 5 re-syncs |
"Try it once, then decide." If a feature isn't for you, you keep using Lite for free. If it is, $14.99 unlocks it for life — and your family.
Why one-time, not subscription?
Three reasons. They're all yours, not ours.
No server, no monthly cost
Discito has no backend. Your data lives in your iCloud, sync'd by Apple. There's no AWS bill we'd need to recoup every month, so there's no recurring fee to pass on to you.
The math works at one-time
Spaced-repetition users are loyal — many stick with the same app for years. A one-time price aligns our incentives with yours: we make money by getting better, not by holding your cards hostage to a renewal.
It's an iOS app, not a SaaS
Native iOS apps run forever. Your purchase entitles you to every update for the lifetime of the app — no "you're on the old plan, upgrade to keep features" surprise.
Family Sharing, included.
One purchase, up to six family members. Discito Pro is configured with Family Sharing enabled at the App Store Connect level — when you buy, every family-group member gets Pro at no extra cost. Family Sharing is irreversible once enabled (Apple's rule, not ours), and we made the decision in your favor.
Hardware requirements.
Discito runs on every iPhone and iPad that supports iOS 18.6 or later. Most features work everywhere; the AI features require Apple Intelligence on the device.
| Feature | Minimum device |
|---|---|
| FSRS-6 scheduling, iCloud sync, .apkg import/export, widgets, Live Activity, all quiz modes, IO authoring, audio playback, LaTeX/Markdown rendering | Any iPhone or iPad on iOS 18.6+ |
| AI card generation, AI image generation, lecture audio → cards, smart AI quiz distractors | iPhone 15 Pro and later, or M1 iPad and later, running iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled |
If your device doesn't support Apple Intelligence, the AI features are visibly disabled in Settings with a one-line explanation. Every non-AI feature works on every supported device — Pro entitlement is by purchase, not by hardware.
Pricing FAQ.
Is there a subscription option?
No. Discito Pro is a single non-consumable in-app purchase. There is no monthly tier, no annual tier, and we have no plans to add one.
What exactly does "own forever" cover?
Everything Pro unlocks in the Discito app for iPhone and iPad — including every Pro feature we add to this app in future updates — for as long as the app exists. No further payment, ever. If we ever build separate products (say, a standalone Mac app), those would be their own purchases, and they'll never be required to keep using what you bought here.
Is there a trial period?
The Lite tier is the trial — free forever, with unlimited cards and full FSRS-6. Six one-time Pro-feature trials let you sample the optimizer, AI generation, lecture capture, smart quizzes, .apkg export, and deck re-sync before deciding.
What happens if I uninstall and reinstall?
Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID; tap Restore Purchases in Settings → Discito Pro and you're back to Pro. Trial counters persist across uninstall (they live in iCloud against your Apple ID) — uninstalling does not reset them.
What about EU pricing, JPY, etc.?
App Store automatically converts the $14.99 USD base into your local storefront's equivalent (around €14.99, £13.99, ¥2,200 JPY). Family Sharing is supported in every storefront Apple supports it in.
What if I want a refund?
App Store refunds go through Apple — open Settings → [your name] → Media & Purchases → View Account → Purchase History, find Discito, and tap Report a Problem. Apple processes the refund; we do not handle billing directly.
Can I gift Discito Pro to someone?
App Store gift-purchase works for Discito the same as any other paid iOS app — gift it via the App Store app on iOS or via appstore.com/gift on the web. Family Sharing is the cheaper option for households.
One price. One purchase. Yours.
No subscription notification. No "we've added Premium+." No "your trial ends in 2 days." Just an iOS flashcard app you own.
Free to download. $14.99 once for Pro. Family Sharing included.
