Free trial
- New subscribers get a 1-week free trial by default. Campaigns may offer longer trials, and the screen always shows the trial period that applies to you

- If you cancel before the trial ends, you won’t be charged at all, and you can keep using premium content until the trial period is over
- The free trial is available once per user. If you cancel and resubscribe later, billing starts immediately without a trial
Billing and renewal
- emaqi premium is a monthly plan that renews automatically every month from your first billing date
- The App Store or Google Play charges your registered payment method on each renewal
- You can check your next billing date anytime in My Page → your emaqi premium status card
- To stop renewal, cancel through the App Store or Google Play. See Managing and canceling your subscription
- Even after you’ve been charged, you can keep using emaqi premium until the end of the period you’ve already paid for
If a payment fails
If your renewal payment fails (for example, an expired card or insufficient funds):- Your status shows Payment Issue in My Page, and the App Store or Google Play retries the payment during a grace period
- You can keep reading premium content during the grace period
- Update your payment method in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Once payment succeeds, your subscription continues as normal
- If payment doesn’t succeed within the grace period, the subscription expires and premium content becomes unavailable until you resubscribe
Using your subscription on multiple devices
- Sign in to the same emaqi account on each device and your subscription status syncs automatically
- If you switched devices or reinstalled the app and your subscription isn’t recognized, use the Restore button. See Managing and canceling your subscription
