Frequently asked questions
Plain answers about trials, canceling, and how tracks work.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. 14 days on every plan, no credit card. We remind you around day 10–13 and again on day 14. You only add a card if you want to keep automation. You can still add expenses manually, and export stays free forever.
What happens when my trial ends?
Subscribe to keep Sterling, bank sync, rules, and capture doors. Or lapse: manual ledger + full history + export stay yours forever — we never hold your data hostage.
How do I cancel?
Cancel in two taps from Settings → Plan & billing. No phone calls, no retention maze.
What's the difference between Personal and Business?
Personal is for you and your household. Business is true per-seat pricing for teams — approvals, policy, exports. You can keep both spaces in one app.
Are transactions limited?
No. The ledger is never capped. We meter bank links, rules, projects, seats, and Ask Sterling — never your transaction count.
How does Business seating work?
$12/seat/mo billed annually on Starter (other tiers vary) — no seat minimum, no 'seats included.' Add or remove seats anytime.
What is Ask Sterling?
Ask Sterling is your expense assistant. Plans include weighted Sterling credits each month (Personal 150/400/1000, Business 400/1000/2000). Ask costs 2 credits. Top up 200 credits for $4.99. Plan credits reset monthly; purchased credits never expire — even if you lapse.
Do you take a cut of money you help me find?
No. Subscription detection, price alerts, and Found Money stay yours. We keep 0% of savings.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or switch tracks anytime from Plan & billing.
