Pricing in plain English
Three ways in. Zero dark patterns.
Catch the Ghost is free forever. Keeping your streak earns you more coins, so the in-app Store is reachable without paying. The Pro tier is for people who want convenience, legendary ghosts, and overnight focus multipliers. The App Store and Google Play handle the billing. We never do.

Earn your way into the Store
The coin economy is not a gimmick. It's the core loop.
Every focus session earns coins. Spend them in the in-app Store on themed ghost packs (Great Strategists, Actors, Famous Japanese, Great Authors, and more arriving every month), on Auto Streak Recovery if you ever lose a day, or on 5-minute Grace Period extensions during Deep Focus (200 coins each, up to three per session) when you need to step away. Keep your streak and the coins keep coming. Every premium content item is earnable by focusing, not just purchasable.
If you'd rather skip ahead, coin packs are available as one-time in-app purchases at $0.99, $4.99, and $9.99. Not a subscription, not a recurring charge.
The anti-dark-pattern promise
The rules we hold ourselves to.
We've watched competitors in this space fund themselves on billing tricks. We don't. Here is what that looks like in practice.
-
Free-trial reminder.
Start a free trial and the app schedules a push notification before it ends, with one-tap cancellation steps built in. We'd rather you decide than forget.
-
One-tap cancel.
Three taps in iOS Settings, or three in Google Play, and you're done. No retention-survey wall, no "wait, please" modal.
-
No surprise price hikes.
If we ever raise prices, existing subscribers stay grandfathered at the price they signed up for. Period.
Pricing questions
Questions people ask before they pay.
Is the Lifetime tier available now?
Not quite yet. It is launching soon at the founding-member price of $99.99. The price will rise after the founding-member window closes. When the tier goes live, the purchase will happen inside the app, through the App Store or Google Play.
Can I really use the app for free?
Yes. The core product is free, streak or no streak. Every focus session earns coins that buy ghost packs in the in-app Store, keeping your streak earns you more coins per session, running a session in a Focus Together room doubles the payout when a friend finishes with you, and inviting a friend pays 3,000 coins once they finish their first session. The Store is reachable by focusing. Premium tiers are for Pro-only content like Legendary Ghosts, the Sleep Timer, and the Ghost Universe, not for access to the core product.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep Pro access through the end of your paid period, then revert to Free. All the ghosts you already caught stay with you. Coins stay with you. Your streak stays with you. Nothing is taken away.
What are coin packs?
Coin packs are optional one-time purchases if you want coins faster than your focus sessions are earning them. They are in-app purchases at $0.99, $4.99, and $9.99 tiers for 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 coins respectively, handled by the App Store on iOS and Google Play on Android. They are not a subscription.
Will my price go up?
Not for existing subscribers. If we raise prices for new users, your tier stays grandfathered at the price you signed up for. This is explicit.
How do I cancel?
On iOS, through the Settings app: your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, then Catch the Ghost, then Cancel. On Android, through Google Play: your profile, then Payments and subscriptions, then Catch the Ghost, then Cancel. One tap either way, no retention-survey wall. We do not see or slow down the cancellation.
Ready to try it free?
Download the app, catch your first ghost, and decide whether the Pro features are worth it from inside a working focus loop.
