Pricing
Ember is free forever
as a dream journal.
You pay for the AI. Recording, writing, keeping, and sharing your dreams never costs anything — what Ember Pro buys is the interpretation: the analysis, the illustrated card, and every pattern drawn from them.
Free, permanently
No account tier, no trial to cancel, no expiry.
- Unlimited dream capture — speak up to five minutes, or type
- Unlimited storage — every dream is kept, interpreted or not
- Dream Circle — friends, sharing, and seeing theirs
- Decks for collecting and organizing dreams
- The full Classroom curriculum
- The Dream Heatmap calendar
- Daily affirmations
- Streaks, levels, and avatar unlocks
- The home screen widget
- Encryption on every dream you write
Plus your first three dreams are interpreted free — full analysis, an illustrated card, and a personal insight article for each. After that, dreams keep saving as private written memories; only the AI reading waits for Pro.

Questions
Do I have to subscribe to use Ember?
No. Recording and keeping dreams is free and unlimited for as long as you want. Pro unlocks the interpretation and the artwork, not the journal itself.
What happens after my three free interpretations?
Nothing is taken away. Your dreams and cards stay exactly where they are, and you can keep writing new entries — they simply save as written memories, searchable and intact, until you subscribe.
How does the free trial work?
The annual plan starts with three free days. Cancel within them and you are charged nothing. The trial is offered on the annual plan only, and Apple decides eligibility — if you have used an Ember trial before, you will simply see the plain annual plan.
How do I cancel?
In the Settings app on your iPhone: tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Ember — or go to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancelling stops the renewal, and you keep Pro until the period you have already paid for ends.
What happens to my dreams if I cancel?
You keep everything. Every dream, card, and interpretation you already have stays readable, and journalling continues free. Only new AI interpretation stops.
Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?
No — and this catches people out. Apple owns the billing relationship, so deleting your Ember account leaves the subscription running. Cancel it separately in the App Store first.
Can my family use it?
Yes. Ember Pro is Family Sharing enabled, so one subscription covers your Apple Family group.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us, at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something went wrong, write to us anyway at hello@emberdreamjournal.com and we will help you sort it out.
Prices are shown in US dollars. The App Store charges in your local currency and the exact amount for your country appears on the subscription screen before you confirm — it may differ from a straight conversion because of local taxes and Apple's regional pricing.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel any time, at least 24 hours before the current period ends, from your Apple account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Ember Pro is sold only through Apple In-App Purchase — there is no web checkout.
