Question 1

What do I get with Pro?

Accepted Answer

The full AI research engine — search with cited sources, follow-ups, deep research, file analysis, and drafting position papers, memos, and speeches. There is one paid plan, so the only choice is monthly or annual billing.

Question 2

What does “usage” mean?

Accepted Answer

Usage is how much AI research and drafting you do — questions, follow-ups, deep-research runs, and file analysis. Pro gives you a generous amount. Reading courses, briefings, and country data never counts against usage.

Question 3

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. You enter card details when you start it, but nothing is charged until the trial ends — cancel any time in those 3 days from Settings → Billing and you pay nothing. If you don't cancel, your plan starts automatically at the price shown on the card you picked.

Question 4

How does annual billing work?

Accepted Answer

Annual is billed once up front and works out to 40% less than paying month to month (Pro comes to $12/mo, billed $144/year). You keep access for the full year and can cancel anytime.

Question 5

Can I switch plans or cancel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anytime. Switch between monthly and annual billing from Settings → Billing, and cancel whenever you like — you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. No cancellation fees.

Question 6

What's free without a subscription?

Accepted Answer

Every Learn lesson, Discover news story, briefing, and country profile is free to browse — no card, no subscription. The AI research engine is part of Pro, which you can try free for 3 days.

Question 7

Is the desktop assistant a separate plan?

Accepted Answer

No. The desktop assistant is in development and free for everyone on the waitlist while it's in beta — it isn't a new tier, an add-on, or a reason your current plan costs more. There is still one paid plan, and the only choice is monthly or annual.

Question 8

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Major credit and debit cards, processed securely by Stripe. Billing may appear in USD or your local currency, depending on your region and payment method.
