You do not have to pay to use MigraineMe. The most important part of the app, keeping a record of your migraines, is free forever. This article explains what you get without paying anything.
Free, forever
These things stay free no matter what. They will never be locked.
- Logging a migraine. You can record as many migraines as you like, with full details: start and end time, pain location, severity, symptoms, what you took, and what helped.
- Your data. Everything you log is kept in your account. Nothing is ever deleted because you are on the free plan.
- Today's risk score. MigraineMe shows you a daily risk number on the home screen. It is a rough guide to how likely a migraine is today, based on the data you have logged.
- Manual triggers. You can log things by hand, like stress, weather, missed meals, or noisy places, and MigraineMe will keep track of them.
- Health connections. You can connect things like Apple Health, Health Connect, Oura, Garmin, your period app, and so on. The data flows in for free.
- Reminders. You can set reminders to check in or to log something.
Logging is the most important part. Even on the free plan, you are still building a record that you can look back on and that you can show a doctor.
What is limited on the free plan
A few things in the app are only partly available on the free plan.
- Journal history. The free plan shows your last 7 days in the Journal. Your older entries are all safely kept, but you need Premium to scroll further back and to use the search and filters.
- Insights. The deeper sections of the Insights tab (Pattern Analysis, Treatment Analysis, AI Recommendations, Accuracy, and the rest) are Premium only.
- Risk forecast. Free shows today's number. Premium shows the next seven days, plus the breakdown of which triggers are driving your score.
- Monitor trends. The Monitor tab still shows your current day for free, but the history graphs (sleep, nutrition, risk, and so on over time) are Premium.
- AI features. The "Ask MigraineMe" chat, the daily AI insight card, and the AI matching of what you type or say in the check-in are Premium only.
- Goals. Weekly AI goal suggestions and reviews on the Monitor tab are Premium.
- Food risk flags. The tyramine, histamine, gluten, alcohol and additive flags on your food are Premium. Calories, caffeine and the other nutrients stay free.
- PDF reports. You can view your data in the app for free, but the doctor-ready Full Report PDF on the Insights tab is a Premium feature.
This is honest: the free version is genuinely useful on its own. You do not need Premium to track migraines well. Premium adds extra tools on top.
How to tell what is locked
If a feature is Premium only, you will see a small lock icon with a short "Unlock" message over it. Tapping it will show you a screen explaining the Premium plan. You can always go back without paying.
Nothing on the free plan is hidden behind an ad or a popup. The app does not show advertisements.
You do get a 14-day free trial of Premium
When you first sign up, MigraineMe gives you 14 days of Premium for free. No card needed. After 14 days, the app goes back to the free version unless you choose to subscribe. Nothing is deleted.

A note
You will never lose any of your data by staying on the free plan. Your migraines, your triggers, your medicines, all of it stays in your account. If you ever subscribe later, everything from your free time is still there.
