Subscription issues
Fix Pro Early Adopter trial activation, renewals, entitlement sync, and subscription gates.
Updated 2026-08-07
Launch billing is a single subscription: VisibleMax Pro — Early Adopter (7-day free trial, then $50/year), billed through Polar. There is no Free plan. Most “subscription” problems are entitlement sync lag, unfinished guest claim, or portal confusion.
Common symptoms
- Upgrade completed but scans still blocked
- Recommendations remain gated after payment
- Renewal or cancellation unclear
- Workspace stays locked after a successful Polar checkout
Fix steps
- 1
Confirm the plan in billing settings
Open workspace billing and verify Pro / Early Adopter is active for the correct workspace.
- 2
Refresh session
Sign out/in or hard-refresh. Entitlements load with the workspace context.
- 3
Open the Polar customer portal
Use the in-app portal link to verify subscription status, renewal date, and payment method.
- 4
Wait briefly after checkout
Webhook entitlement sync is usually fast. If Pro is unpaid in Polar, fix payment first — see Payment issues.
- 5
Retry a scan
Once Pro is active, scan starts unlock (meter/rate limits may still apply).
Edge cases
- Wrong workspace — checkout tied to a different workspace than the one you are viewing.
- Workspace owner — billing actions require the workspace owner account.
- Canceled but still in term — access may continue until period end; portal shows the truth.
- Early Adopter pricing — 7-day free trial, then $50/year launch SKU; future list prices may differ for new customers.
When to contact support
- Polar shows an active Pro subscription but VisibleMax stays locked for more than a few minutes
- You were charged twice or for the wrong workspace
- You need help transferring Early Adopter pricing after an account change
FAQ
Is there a Free plan?
No. One public subscription: Pro Early Adopter — 7-day free trial, then $50/year. Utility tools at /tools remain free without an account. Start at /start.
How do I cancel?
Open workspace billing and choose Cancel trial or Cancel subscription. Cancel during the 7-day trial and you keep full access until day 7 with no charge. Polar’s customer portal is still used for cards and invoices.
Is Early Adopter different from Pro?
It is the launch paid SKU of VisibleMax Pro: 7-day free trial, then $50/year. Product entitlements follow the Pro plan; the name highlights launch pricing.
