Absolutely — no lock-in contracts, no cancellation fees. To cancel, go to your Profile page and click "Manage Subscription", then select "Cancel Subscription". Your premium access remains fully active until the end of your current billing period and you won't be charged again after that. Your account, bookmarks, and reading history are all preserved regardless of your subscription status.
We don't offer a timed free trial, but every visitor gets 3 free premium article reads per month — no account or payment required. This lets you experience the quality of our premium content before committing. Beyond that, a large portion of our library is always free to read. Explore as much as you like, then subscribe when you're ready.
Your account automatically reverts to the free plan — no action needed from you. You'll keep full access to all public articles, your saved bookmarks, your profile, and your comment history. Premium-only articles will show a paywall until you resubscribe. Resubscribing at any time instantly restores your access — no re-registration or data loss.
