Plans and trial
One Swiftbird subscription, the 7-day card-required trial, separate provider costs, the founder offer and cancellation.
One subscription
Swiftbird costs $7.95 a month + tax. There is no annual option at launch. It includes every studio feature: several projects, 4K and Premiere XML export, your presets and libraries, batch runs, and no end card on exports.
Your own Claude Code or Codex account and any generation-provider keys are separate. Their providers bill you directly; Swiftbird does not include their usage.
Your 7-day free trial
A card is required when the trial starts. It includes every subscription feature for 7 days. Unless you cancel before it ends, the first $7.95 a month + tax payment is charged when the trial ends, followed by monthly renewals until you cancel. The checkout shows the applicable tax and charge date. One trial per person, using the existing normalised email and device checks.
The founder offer
The offer goes to the first 100 people on the waitlist who confirm their email at launch: 2 free months of Swiftbird, plus 1 free calendar month with every major update. Existing founder sign-ups receive this replacement offer without losing their sign-up place. Claim it with the address you confirmed. No card is needed for the founder offer and it does not turn into a paid subscription automatically. See the offer terms.
Payment and your account
Payhip handles the subscription with Stripe for card payments. Swiftbird does not receive or store your card details. Payhip adds applicable tax at checkout. Use the same email as your Swiftbird account. In the app, use Settings → Subscription → Refresh subscription after a payment, or check your account page.
Cancellation and existing work
Cancel through your Payhip customer account. Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription takes you there. Cancel during the trial to avoid the first charge. Payhip cancellation removes subscription access immediately and stops future charges; it does not automatically prorate unused paid days. After the trial expires or access lapses, you can still open and export your existing work. Nothing is deleted. Starting new work needs an active subscription or trial.
Deleting a Swiftbird account does not cancel a Payhip subscription: cancel first. See the refund policy (draft) for refunds and statutory consumer rights, and Billing for help.
If your subscription looks wrong
- Refresh subscription.
- Check that your Payhip and Swiftbird email addresses match.
- Contact support with the purchase email and date. Do not subscribe again to fix a display problem.
