What happens when the trial ends

The 14-day free trial ends quietly. There is no shock, no automatic charge, and nothing important gets lost. This article explains in plain language what changes, what stays the same, and what you can do next.

These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

Step 1: What you will notice on day 15

1. Before the trial ends you get two reminders: one 3 days before, and one on the last day ("Your free trial ends tomorrow" or "Your free trial ends today"). If a notification cannot reach you, the last one comes by email. Nothing else happens.
2. The first time you open MigraineMe after the trial has ended, a one-time screen lets you know it is over and shows the subscription options. You can close it and carry on for free.
3. After that, the app looks the same as before, minus the Premium features listed below.

Step 2: What still works for free

A lot of the app continues to work without a subscription. You can keep using these without paying anything:

1. Logging migraines. The full wizard and all six Quick Log cards keep working. You can keep adding new attacks, triggers, medicines, reliefs, prodromes, and notes.
2. Your recent entries. The Journal tab keeps showing your last 7 days. Everything older is safely stored, it just needs a subscription to view.
3. Basic health monitoring. The Monitor tab will still show your day, with the data you have connected.
4. Your settings. Profile, Connections, Data and Notifications, and Manage Items all stay available from the gear icon at the top left.
5. Today's risk number. The score for today still appears.

In other words, the core job of MigraineMe (recording and remembering) does not require a subscription.

Step 3: What needs a subscription to keep working

A few of the more advanced features will switch off after the trial. You will still see where they were, but tapping them will show a small prompt offering a subscription. These include:

1. The 7-day risk forecast. Today's risk still appears, but the look-ahead for the rest of the week needs a subscription. The breakdown of which triggers are driving your score is also locked.
2. AI daily insights and the Well done card. The short plain-English notes about your data.
3. Ask MigraineMe chat. The chat window you can use to ask questions about your own data.
4. The Full Report PDF. The neat printable summary for your doctor, on the Insights tab.
5. The deeper Insights sections. AI Recommendations, Accuracy, Pattern Analysis, Treatment Analysis, and the rest.
6. Journal history beyond 7 days, along with the Journal search and filters.
7. The history graphs on Monitor. Sleep, nutrition, risk, and the other trends over time.
8. The weekly AI Calibration. The weekly check that suggests updates to your setup.

If you tap one of these, the app will explain what is needed and offer you a subscription. You will not be charged just for tapping.

Step 4: Your data is not deleted

This is important. Nothing is lost when the trial ends.

1. Every migraine, trigger, medicine, relief, and note you have logged is still there.
2. All of your settings, connections, and AI profile answers are still there.
3. If you subscribe a week from now, a month from now, or a year from now, everything comes back exactly as you left it.

We never delete your records because a trial ended.

Step 5: How to subscribe if you want to keep the full version

You can subscribe at any time. The fastest way:

1. Tap the small gear icon at the top left of any screen. The Settings drawer slides in.
2. Tap Profile. On the Subscription card, tap Unlock Premium.

Or, from a feature that needs a subscription:

1. Tap a locked feature (like a future day in the risk card on Home, or AI Recommendations under Insights).
2. A subscription prompt will appear.
3. Tap it to open the subscription screen.

Step 6: Pick a plan

The subscription screen shows two choices:

1. Annual. Paid once a year. The price per month works out cheaper this way.
2. Monthly. Paid each month. Slightly more per month, but easier to stop.

Tap the one you prefer, then tap Subscribe Now at the bottom to continue.

Your phone will then show its own payment screen. This screen is from Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android), not from us. Confirm with your fingerprint, Face ID, or phone passcode as normal. The first charge happens straight away. Subscribing does not start another free trial.

If you do not see prices on the screen, make sure your phone has an internet connection. The prices come from your local Apple or Google store.

Step 7: If you do not want to subscribe

That is completely fine. The app keeps working as described above. You can still:

1. Log every migraine.
2. Look back over your last week, while everything older stays safe.
3. Connect your watch or ring.
4. Get the daily risk score for today.

You do not have to make a decision today. The subscription option will stay available in case you change your mind.

A small honest note

The reason there is a subscription at all is that the advanced features (AI insights, chat, forecast) cost real money to run on our side. Keeping the basic app free for everyone, and asking for support from people who want the deeper tools, is how Jordy (the founder) keeps MigraineMe going.

If money is tight, please email help@migraineme.app. We can usually work something out.
