With credits you only pay when you create a new plan. No monthly fee, nothing to cancel, and the credits you buy never expire.
One credit equals one new plan. Every feature of the app stays fully available.
You get 2 credits for free after installing the app. That's enough for a small project with two plans, without buying anything.
Each new plan base, such as a floor plan, a PDF or a sketch, uses 1 credit. Importing a complete Plaans project uses 2 credits.
Once your credits are used up, buy another pack in the app. Your balance adds up and never expires.
Photos, comments, measurements and PDF reports in an existing plan are free. You only pay for creating new plans.
One-time purchase through the App Store, VAT included. Valid in Plaans and Plaans Pocket.
Both unlock the same features. The difference is how you pay.
| Aspect | Credits | Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| You pay | per new plan, €1.60 to €2.00 | €19.99 (Plaans) or €9.99 (Pocket) per month |
| New plans | as many as you have credits | unlimited |
| Ongoing costs | none, even if you don't use the app for months | every month until you cancel |
| Cancellation | not needed, there's nothing to cancel | any time, effective at the end of the billing month |
| Features | all | all |
| Existing plans | stay usable for good | stay usable after you cancel |
| New device | credits stay on the device they were bought on (also after reinstalling) | via “Restore purchases” with the same Apple ID |
| For teams | bought per device | managed centrally for all devices with Plaans Enterprise |
With Plaans (iPhone & iPad), a subscription pays off from about 10 to 13 new plans a month, with Plaans Pocket from about 5 to 7. Do the math yourself.
Tip: You can combine both. While a subscription is active, no credits are used. So you can subscribe just for a busy month and go back to your remaining balance afterwards.
No. Purchased credits stay valid indefinitely, and several packs add up to one balance.
Credits are tied to the device you bought them on. After reinstalling on the same device they're still there. They can't be transferred to another iPhone or iPad.
No. While the subscription is active, you create plans without using credits. Once it ends, your full balance is available again.
All plans you've created stay usable. You only need credits or a subscription again for new plans.
Yes. Credits work the same way in Plaans and Plaans Pocket.
Credits are bought per device. For several employees we recommend Plaans Enterprise: all devices are covered by a single monthly invoice.
