This article explains what you get on the free plan and what changes when you upgrade to premium.

## Free plan

When you create an account, you start on the free plan. You can scan menus right away. The free plan gives you a set number of scans, and the current limit is shown in the app. Some features are limited on the free plan.

## Premium plan

Upgrading to premium removes the scan limit so you can scan as many menus as you like. Premium also unlocks the full feature set.

You can choose a plan that covers one person, two people, or a family group. Billing is monthly or yearly. The price for each option is shown at checkout before you confirm anything.

## How to upgrade

1. Open the app and go to the subscription screen.
2. Choose a plan that fits your household.
3. Review the price shown at checkout.
4. Confirm the purchase through the App Store or Google Play.

## Good to know
