How to think about it
If your private set fits within the limits, stay on free. Choose paid if you need more room or the disguise. Apple handles purchases, and Restore brings a plan back on a new phone.

Backroom is coming soon to the App Store.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my files if my subscription ends?
They remain encrypted in your vaults, and you open them the same way. Plan limits decide what you can add.
How do I cancel?
In your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel.
Why is there a free plan with no time limit?
So you can test the app with real files before paying. Limits are per vault so that they never reveal whether you have other vaults.
