Things to consider

  • The official site lists paid subscription tiers and does not provide a permanent free plan; its 60-day money-back guarantee is tied to annual plans.
  • The official plans page explicitly identifies a mobile app for iOS and Android but does not state support for native Windows, macOS, or Linux desktop applications.
