Pricing FAQ
Is the free plan really free for commercial use?
Yes. Pixel art and pixelated images made on the free plan have no watermark and can be used commercially, as long as you have the rights to the original photo.
What is the Pattern Pass?
A one-time $2.99 payment that unlocks every Pro feature for 24 hours: enough to print the PDF for one bead or cross stitch project. It never renews.
Can I cancel Pro any time?
Yes. Use Manage subscription on this page to cancel, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for. Nothing renews after that.
Do I need an account?
No. After checkout you get a licence key. Pro unlocks on that browser straight away, and you can paste the key on this page to unlock another device.
Do you offer refunds?
If Pro doesn't work for your project, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund.
