Payment methods

Payment methods differ between purchases on the Web and purchases inside the iPhone or iPad app.

Checked:

Purchases on the Web

Web purchases of paid plans and additional AI credits use Stripe Checkout. The main payment methods are:

  • Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB.
  • Apple Pay: Requires a supported device, browser, and eligible card added to Apple Pay. It appears at checkout when the conditions are met.
  • Link: Stripe's service for paying with saved payment details. You can use it when it appears at checkout.

We do not currently accept bank transfers, convenience-store payments, PayPay, or Google Pay for Web purchases.

Other regional methods and card installments depend on your country or region, currency, amount, and purchase type. Card installments are limited to eligible one-time purchases in Japanese yen and are not available for monthly plans.

To start a paid plan, sign in, choose a plan on the plan-change screen, and continue to checkout. Review the payment method, currency, and amount before confirming.

Purchases inside the iPhone or iPad app

In-app purchases are billed through the App Store using a payment method set up for your Apple Account. This is separate from Stripe payments on the Web.

Available methods depend on your Apple Account country or region. For accounts set to Japan, Apple lists:

  • Supported credit and debit cards.
  • PayPay and Merpay.
  • Mobile phone billing with eligible au, NTT DOCOMO, or SoftBank plans.
  • Apple Account balance, including redeemed Apple Gift Cards and added funds.
  • Apple Pay with a supported device and card.

These are examples for Japan, not a worldwide list. Availability depends on your account settings and purchase type. Some purchases may require another payment method on file even when you have an account balance. Check Apple's payment methods by country or region and the App Store purchase confirmation screen for current conditions.

Before you purchase

No payment information is required to create an account and try the Free plan. Prices and currencies can differ between purchase channels, so check the amount on the purchase confirmation screen.

Monthly plans renew automatically until canceled. Manage cancellation and payment-method changes through the channel where you purchased. See our payment and cancellation terms.

If you cannot find your preferred payment method, contact us. Do not send card numbers, security codes, or passwords.
