Free and Pro plans

How Free and Pro differ

Both plans have all the same features. The only difference is how long you can record:

How the 30 minutes are counted

• It's the total recording time across all sessions in the same day, using your device's clock, and it resets at midnight.
• Paused time doesn't count.
• A recording you Cancel still counts toward the limit.
• The left today clock appears while you record on the Free plan. On a Mac it changes color when less than 2 minutes remain, and on iPhone and iPad when less than 5 minutes remain. Usage is counted separately on each device.

When you reach the limit

• If you're recording: the app stops and saves everything (audio and text), then shows Daily limit reached. Choose Save and stop to open the saved recording, or Continue with Pro.
• If you start recording after the limit is used up: the app shows the upgrade screen instead of recording.

The limit resets on its own the next day.

Upgrade to Pro

Open the Plan section (Mac), or tap the Pro button on Home or the banner in Settings (iPhone, iPad). Choose Monthly or Annual, then click Upgrade to Pro.

• Prices are shown by the App Store for your country, so they can differ from place to place.
• The annual plan usually comes with a 7-day free trial. When there is one, the button changes to Start free trial.
• You pay through the App Store, and the plan renews automatically until you cancel.
• One Pro plan works across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad when you're signed in with the same Apple ID.

Restore purchase

If you've already bought Pro but the app still shows Free (for example after reinstalling or changing devices), open the Plan screen and click Restore purchase. Make sure you're signed in with the Apple ID you bought with.

Promo code

Click Have a promo code?, then Redeem (iPhone, iPad), or enter the code and click Apply (Mac). The App Store opens its redeem page, and Pro unlocks on its own once the code is redeemed.

Manage or cancel your plan

Once you're on Pro, click Manage subscription to open Apple's subscription page. You can also cancel in System Settings / Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. You can cancel at any time, and Pro stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. After that, the app goes back to the 30-minute daily limit.

Waiting for approval (Ask to Buy)

If you use Family Sharing and a parent or guardian needs to approve purchases, the app shows Waiting for approval… until it's approved.

Early users

People who have used Sonasi Meetings since the early versions (before paid plans existed) get Pro for free, for life. In that case the Plan screen shows that you're on Pro even though you have no subscription. If you think you're in this group but the app still shows the limit, try Restore purchase or contact support.
