Questions before you pay.

Is Free really free?

Yes. Every household page, for unlimited members, with no time limit on Free, and 15 tracked investments (holdings you set up may pass that). Pro adds the deeper investing pages.

Can I try Pro first?

Yes. The demo household opens every Pro page in a database of its own. It ends after 7 days, and each new demo starts from fresh sample data.

What if I stop paying?

You return to Free. Your data stays where it is; Pro pages lock until you subscribe again.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Your records are on your PC and open without a connection. Prices refresh online, and Pro keeps working offline for up to three days after each Store check.

Where is my data?

Your data stays on your device, in a database on your PC. There is no Pulse Neuron account.

How is Pro billed?

Inside the app, through the Microsoft Store, which handles payment, renewals and refunds. Cancel in your Microsoft account.

Start on Free. It’s the same app.
