The price increase promise
When we add significant new features — receipt scanning, recipe builder, spend categoriser, organic producer marketplace — we'll be transparent about it. New subscribers may pay £34.99or £39.99.
You will never pay more than what you signed up for. Every existing subscriber is honoured at their original rate, permanently. That's not a marketing promise. It's the only kind we make.
Questions
Do I need a card for the trial?
No. The trial starts automatically after your sixth shop run. No card, no commitment, no hidden terms. At the end of three months you either pay or you drop to free scanning. That's it.
What happens when the trial ends?
You get one email explaining exactly what you'll keep and what changes. If you don't pay, you keep scanning free and receive The Honest Bites monthly. Your profile data is preserved for 90 days in case you decide to upgrade later.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No friction, no dark patterns. One tap in your profile. You keep everything until the end of your paid year.
What's The Honest Bites vs The Honest Spread?
Bites is the free monthly newsletter — food literacy, label education, seasonal guidance. Spread is the paid twice-monthly newsletter — personal audit of your actual scanning habits, specific swaps, money intelligence. One informs. The other transforms.
Will the price go up?
For new subscribers, yes — when we add significant features. For existing subscribers, never. Your rate is locked permanently at what you paid when you signed up.
Is this available everywhere?
The app works on any phone with a camera and internet connection. The website and newsletter work anywhere. We're starting in the UK and expanding. If your local supermarket's barcodes work with Open Food Facts, TheHonest works too.
