Plans, trials, and lifetime access

Apple handles purchases and payments through the App Store. Pinwork uses RevenueCat to load App Store products and turn verified purchase evidence into Pinwork access.

The app can offer subscription access and lifetime access. The exact product names, availability, and displayed prices come from the App Store.

Subscription access

Pinwork can offer monthly and yearly subscription products.

When RevenueCat returns active Pinwork Pro evidence for the current App Store environment, Pinwork unlocks Pro access.

Subscription states can include:

trial
active
grace period
billing retry
expired
revoked

Trial, active subscription, and grace period count as Pro access.

Trial access

If the current product includes a free trial, the trial is handled by the App Store.

RevenueCat supplies the trial state to Pinwork. When the trial is active, the app treats it as Pro access.

At the end of a trial, Apple controls renewal, cancellation, and billing. Use Apple’s subscription management to change or cancel a trial.

Lifetime access

Lifetime access unlocks Pro without a subscription expiration.

When RevenueCat returns the lifetime product with active Pinwork Pro access, Pinwork treats access as active across supported devices signed in with the same Apple ID.

Use Restore Purchases on a new device to recover lifetime access.

If current purchase evidence unexpectedly omits previously trusted lifetime access, Pinwork does not revoke access from absence alone. It performs one guarded purchase synchronization and current-network check. If lifetime evidence remains absent without explicit refund or revocation evidence, Pinwork retains access and records a redacted support diagnostic.

One plan across Apple devices

One active Pinwork purchase covers supported Apple devices:

iPhone
iPad
Mac
Apple Watch

Use the same App Store Apple ID on each device so Pinwork can restore the same purchase or subscription.

Apple Watch receives access state from the companion iPhone.

Prices and availability

The App Store supplies localized product names, trial availability, and display prices. Those values can differ by country, currency, tax handling, offer state, or App Store configuration.

The current price shown inside the app is the source of truth.

Apple Offer Codes

Eligible users can redeem a Pinwork Apple Offer Code from the link or code they received. Apple handles redemption. Return to Pinwork afterward and use Restore Purchases if access does not refresh.

Offer eligibility, redemption, and billing remain controlled by Apple.

See Redeem a Pinwork offer code for the steps.

Temporary offline access

Pinwork stores a verified access snapshot so a temporary network or purchase service outage does not immediately lock a valid user out.

Cached no-access evidence cannot remove trusted access.
Trial and subscription access is limited by the last known expiration.
Grace period access uses a limited verification window.
Billing retry, expired, and revoked access remains read-only.
Lifetime access is not removed merely because a response omits it.

TestFlight sandbox purchases

In TestFlight, purchase flows use Apple’s sandbox environment.

Sandbox transactions are for testing and do not charge real money. Restore and renewal behavior can differ from production App Store purchases.

If you are testing through TestFlight, mention that when contacting support.
