No tricks, no surprise bills. Here's exactly what's free and what costs money.
Every AI scan runs on servers that cost real money. Charging a little for those — instead of selling your data or plastering ads — is how Cimplora stays independent and private. The data you enter stays on your device, and the core calculator stays free forever. That's the deal.
Is the calculator really free forever?
Yes. The calculator and every planning tool around it (budget, savings, net worth, compare offers, pay history) stay free, always. Knowing your own pay shouldn't cost you.
Will I ever get charged without warning?
No. AI features are free during launch. If a paid plan ever starts, we'll tell you clearly first and you choose — you'll never be surprised by a charge.
What exactly costs money?
Only the AI features — scanning your pay stub or receipts (and later, an AI assistant). Everything else is free.
Do you sell my data or run ads?
Never — we don't sell your data and there are no ads. The app runs on your device; the only things that leave are optional AI scans you run and anonymous, cookieless usage stats that can't identify you. That's the whole point.
Why not just make everything free?
The AI runs on servers that cost money each time. Charging a little for that keeps Cimplora independent — so we never have to sell you out to advertisers or data brokers.
