What happens when your free plan ends?

Your free plan lasts 90 days or 1,000 opens, whichever comes first. Then sharing pauses for 30 days before your booklets are removed. Upgrade at any point in those 30 days and everything comes back right away: same booklets, same links, same reports.

Applies to the Free plan. See Choosing Your Simplebooklet Plan.

What's the timeline?

Day 90: your free plan ends. Sharing pauses, so readers can no longer open your booklets. Your content, design and reports stay exactly as they are.
The next 30 days: your booklets are paused. This is your 30-day grace period. Nothing is deleted, and you can upgrade at any time to turn sharing back on straight away.
Day 120: your booklets are permanently removed. Your booklets and their data are deleted and can't be recovered.

If you reach 1,000 opens before day 90, sharing pauses on that day instead.

Day 60: 30 days left on your free plan.
Day 75: 15 days left.
Day 87: 3 days left, before sharing pauses.

How do I keep my booklets?

Upgrade to a paid plan before your grace period ends. Your booklets, links and reports are restored straight away, so you don't need to upload anything again. See Choosing Your Simplebooklet Plan.

Common questions

What do my readers see while my booklets are paused?

A simple page saying the booklet is taking a short break. There's no mention of billing or plans.

Is my content safe while it's paused?

Yes. For the 30-day grace period, your content, design and reports stay exactly as they are. Nothing is deleted until the grace period ends.

Can I get my booklets back after the grace period?

No. Once the grace period ends, your booklets and their data are permanently removed and can't be recovered.

Do I need to do anything if I don't want to continue?

No. Your booklets pause on day 90 and are removed when the grace period ends.
