How billing works
- Subscriptions are bought through Apple and managed in your Apple ID settings. Cancel anytime; Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
- Yearly is charged once a year, monthly once a month. There is no introductory offer or card-up-front trial: the 15 free minutes are how you try Tam.
- Free minutes reset on the 1st of each month. If you run out, your transcript is saved and the notes are written when you subscribe or when the new month starts.
- Family Sharing: not yet.
