Things worth knowing before you pay
A band score here is an estimate, not a result. The AI examiner is a language model. It can be wrong, and it can be confidently wrong. Nothing this app shows you has any standing with a university, an employer or an immigration authority — see the terms.
You can cancel at any time, from the button on this page — the same one place you subscribed from. You keep what you have paid for until the end of the period you paid for, and it does not renew after that.
Each AI allowance runs over a rolling 30 days, not a calendar month. There is no reset day: a request frees itself up 30 days after you make it, one at a time. Every kind of AI has its own allowance rather than sharing one pool, so a month of word lookups cannot use up the essays you have left.
On iPhone, subscriptions will be bought through Apple. Apple requires in-app purchase for digital goods, so the App Store version will offer the same plans through its own payment system rather than the one on this page. That is not built yet; until it is, subscribing is a web feature.
