Plans

Three plans. No packs, no stored value, no expiring balance to chase.

Allowances

What a credit is, and what it is not

An allowance is a service allowance. Being precise about that is not pedantry: it is the difference between a subscription and stored value, and only one of those is what you are buying.

The terms, in full

  • An allowance is a service allowance. It is not money, it is not stored value, it cannot be redeemed for cash and it cannot be transferred to anybody else.
  • Allowances reset at the start of each billing period. Anything unused at the end of a period does not carry over.
  • There is no way to buy extra allowance on its own. If you run out, wait for the reset or move to a plan with a larger one.

Before you subscribe

Everything you will be told, before anything is charged

On one screen, not collapsed, not in smaller type than the rest of the page, and not behind a link.
  • Which plan you are subscribing to.
  • The amount, and the sales tax added to it for your location.
  • The date of the first charge, which is the day you subscribe.
  • That it renews automatically at the same amount until you cancel, and the date of the next renewal.
  • That you cancel online in your account in two clicks, with no call, email or ticket.

You then tick one separate box, which is never ticked for you, confirming the amount and the renewal. That box is the only thing standing between the disclosure and the charge, and it exists so that nobody can be subscribed by momentum.

After every charge we email a receipt with the amount, the plan, the schedule and a direct link to cancel. Once a year we send a separate reminder that the subscription is running and how to end it. That reminder carries no marketing and is not bundled into anything else.

Questions

Asked and answered

Can you help me make this line stronger?

No, and it is worth being exact about why. This service measures how far type can be read. It does not read what the type says, it does not assess or comment on it, it does not rewrite or shorten it, and it does not pick a typeface on the basis of the message. If a line is too long to be read at five metres, what you get back is the arithmetic that shows it and the print width it has to live in. What you do about that — cut a word, split it over two lines, move it to the back, or print it exactly as it is — is entirely yours.

How accurate is the simulation?

It is a geometric simulation, not a measurement. The cap height and the distance thresholds come from the sign industry's long-settled rules — one inch of cap height per ten feet for glance legibility, and the legibility index for the point where letters stop being letters — and the decay views are produced by resampling the print to the number of samples a 20/20 eye takes across it at that distance, not by blurring an image. What no simulation can include is the light it will actually be read in, the angle it will be read from, how far the ink wicks along the yarn on your particular cloth, or the typeface you finally print in. Every one of those is listed on every result, and every generated image carries a mark saying it was simulated at typical daylight.

Is what I type used to train a model?

No. Lines you type are not used to train any model, are not sold, and are not shared for anybody else's advertising. On the free plan a line is processed and discarded and never reaches storage. If you save a project on a paid plan it is stored against your account until you delete it, and deleting it removes it from live systems immediately and from backups within thirty days.

How do I cancel, and what happens to the rest of the period?

In your account, in two clicks: Billing, then Cancel subscription. There is no phone call, no email, no support ticket, no offer to keep you and no series of screens asking why. Cancelling stops the next renewal. Your plan then keeps working until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund part of a period. We will always tell you the exact date it ends before you confirm.

What does a credit actually buy?

One question about a line costs one credit, sizing a line and planning its breaks costs two, and a full distance set with the specification card costs five. An allowance is a service allowance: it is not money, it has no cash value, it cannot be transferred, and it does not carry over to the next month. There are no credit packs and no top-ups, so the only way past an allowance is a larger plan or the next reset.

Is there a free trial that turns into a paid subscription?

No. The free plan is a free plan, not a trial: it takes no card, it does not expire, and it never becomes a paid subscription on its own. If you do subscribe, the amount, the date of the first charge and the renewal are all set out on one screen before you authorise anything, and you tick a separate box to confirm you have read them.

Who can use this?

Anybody aged thirteen or over. This service is not offered to children under thirteen and we do not knowingly collect their personal information; if you believe a child under thirteen has given us information, write to support and we will delete it. If you are between thirteen and eighteen, use it with a parent or guardian's involvement.

Where is the tax on these prices?

Prices on this site are shown in US dollars and exclude tax. Sales tax, where it applies to your location, is calculated at checkout and shown before you authorise the payment, so the total you confirm is the total you are charged.
