Questions

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, from your account page under Manage subscription. Pro stays on until the end of the period you’ve paid for, then you’re back on the free scan.

Does my file get uploaded?

No. Scans and fixes run in your browser. A saved scan keeps the findings and their cell addresses, never the file or anything in its cells.

Why is there no trial?

The scan is free already. Run it on your own file and see what it finds before you pay for anything.

Monthly or yearly?

Same Pro either way. Yearly is $90, which works out at $7.50 a month: two months free against paying monthly.
