# Free trial and paying for Melophrase

> Trial limits, subscriptions, lifetime access, and where to manage billing on melophrase.com.

Melophrase is built so you can **try listening and reading lyrics** before you fully commit. There are **two related ideas** that work together:

1. **Subscribing on the website** — When you buy a **monthly** or **annual** plan through **[melophrase.com/pricing](https://www.melophrase.com/pricing)**, the public page is built around a **7-day free trial**: you are **not charged until after that trial ends** (see the pricing page for the exact line next to the button). You need to **log in** or **create an account** to reach checkout.
2. **Listening in the app** — During any **trial or unpaid** period, listening may still be **limited** (for example by time or by day) so the offering stays fair for everyone. **When that access runs out** for the period, you need a **paid membership** (or **lifetime** access if you bought it) for **full, uninterrupted listening** — unless you already subscribed in time.

Full detail on **plans, taxes, checkout, and the payment partner** is in **[Pricing and checkout](/website/pricing-and-checkout)** so this guide and the live site stay aligned.

## Who processes your payment

Checkout on **[melophrase.com/pricing](https://www.melophrase.com/pricing)** is run by **[Lemon Squeezy](https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/)** — they act as the **merchant of record** for card and wallet charges. You will usually see **Lemon Squeezy** on your **bank statement** and in **order / receipt emails**; they also provide a **customer portal** for invoices and some subscription tasks. Melophrase uses the order data Lemon Squeezy sends us to turn on **your access** in the app.

## Ways to pay (what we offer)

* **Monthly** — Pay each month; cancel according to the [terms](https://www.melophrase.com/terms).
* **Yearly (annual)** — Pay once per year; usually the best value if you know you will stick with it.
* **Lifetime** — **Pay once** for long-term access without a subscription after that. It may be offered as an **early-bird** deal on the pricing page and may **not** always be available — if you see it on **[pricing](https://www.melophrase.com/pricing)**, that page has the numbers.

Current **prices** and the **checkout button** are always on **[melophrase.com/pricing](https://www.melophrase.com/pricing)**.

## If listening stops and a message mentions your account

Open **[melophrase.com](https://www.melophrase.com/)** — especially **[pricing](https://www.melophrase.com/pricing)** and your **[account](https://www.melophrase.com/account)** if you use it — to **check your trial**, **renew**, or **change plan**. That is the same kind of place the app points you when trial listening has run out for the period.

If something still does not add up, email **[support@melophrase.com](mailto:support@melophrase.com)**.
