Features unique to PhotoStructure are marked with a 🌟 Install PhotoStructure on your desktop or server ## 🏦 How does billing work? Free plus trials **don't require payment information.** If you don't add payment information to your account before your trial elapses, your subscription will automatically cancel at the end of your free trial. You can view, renew, cancel, and manage your billing and subscription settings at any time by visiting . Make sure you use the same email address! You will get a reminder email a week before we make a charge to your payment method on file. You may want to add to your email address book to prevent this email from getting marked as spam. If you want to cancel your next payment, log into , click "Manage billing", then click "Cancel plan". If you need to change your email address or have any other problems or questions, ping us on [Discord](/go/discord) or send us an [email](mailto:hello@photostructure.com) and we'll help get things sorted out. ## 🔮 What happens if I allow my plus subscription to lapse? **The free lite license will always be able to open any PhotoStructure library.** In other words, PhotoStructure won't hold your own library "hostage" for a paid subscription. **For new assets**, you won't enjoy automatic organization, or have those assets tagged with plus curators. **For prior assets, imported while you had an active subscription**, the "prior work" will be retained: - Any tags from these curators will be retained - Any external work (like automatic organization) will be retained. You paid for the work, so that work won't be undone. ## 📖 Any other questions? Read our [full subscription policies here](/legal/subscription-terms/). For questions about PhotoStructure, ask on the [forum](https://forum.photostructure.com/) or send us an [email](mailto:hello@photostructure.com). ## 💸 I'm not in the United States, and \$5 per month is a lot of money. Send us an email or chat: we'll send you a coupon for an annual rate that is based on your country's cost of living to make your PhotoStructure subscription reasonable. Note that we can only offer these discounts for annual subscriptions due to payment processing fees. The discount will be roughly (100 - purchasing power index)% off, based on the "cost of living" from [this site](https://www.worlddata.info/cost-of-living.php) (if you know of a more accurate list, please share!). ## 🌈 I help make the world a better place. Can I get a coupon? Excellent! Send us an [email](mailto:hello@photostructure.com) and describe what you do. We'll send you a coupon. ## ❤️ Open-source authors: 🙏 thank you! PhotoStructure donates a portion of our revenue and engineering resources to several open source projects on [github](https://github.com/orgs/photostructure/sponsoring) and [opencollective](https://opencollective.com/photostructure). If you maintain or substantively contribute to any of the [projects that PhotoStructure relies on](/legal/3rd-party-licenses.txt), email us with a link to your library and we'll send you a 100% discount coupon. If you're a regular contributor to other open-source projects, send us a link to your GitHub account (or anywhere else with commit history), and we'll send you a 50% discount coupon. ## ♾️ Perpetual licensing We don't offering "perpetual" or version-locked licenses. [Read why here.](/about/v0.9/#what-about-perpetual-licenses) ## 🦄 I like stickers SWEET. If you're a plus subscriber, send us an [email](mailto:hello@photostructure.com) with your mailing address, and we'll send you some PhotoStructure stickers for free.
