Terms of use
Last updated June 2026
These terms cover using Smara, the app and this site, both made by The Moo Projects. We've kept them plain. Using Smara means you're okay with what's here.
Your account
You'll need an account to use Smara. Keep your sign-in details to yourself — you're responsible for what happens under your account. Use Smara for your own record-keeping, and don't try to break, abuse, or resell it.
Plans and what they include
Smara has a free plan and a paid Premium plan. The free plan gives you the mobile app, unlimited fast entry and suggestions, import and export, and up to 2 goals and 2 budgets, with one small banner ad. Premium removes the ad and adds statement uploads, desktop and web access, and unlimited goals and budgets. We may adjust what's in each plan as Smara grows; we won't quietly take away something you've paid for.
The free trial
New sign-ups get 30 days of full Premium, no card required. When the trial ends, you move to the free plan — nothing you've entered is deleted. If during the trial you created more than 2 goals or 2 budgets, the extras become view-only until you're back under the free limit or you upgrade. You won't lose the data; you just won't be able to add to the over-limit items on free.
Billing
Premium is $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Subscriptions are billed and managed through the app store you bought them from (Google Play today, the App Store when iOS ships). Renewals, cancellations, and price changes follow the store's rules, and you manage your subscription in your store account.
The Founding Lifetime Deal
The Founding Lifetime Deal is a one-time purchase of $69 that gives you Premium for the life of the app, including features we add later. A few honest specifics:
- It's open to the first 500 buyers. Once that's reached — or once we close the offer — it's gone.
- You request a code with your email here; the code is single-use, tied to that email, and good for 30 days. Requesting a code doesn't reserve a slot — only a completed purchase counts toward the 500.
- The $69 is paid once through Google Play. "Lifetime" means for as long as Smara operates as a service. It isn't a personal guarantee that the app runs forever, and it isn't transferable to someone else.
Refunds
Purchases go through the app stores, so the store's refund process applies — for Google Play, that's Google's refund policy. If something's wrong on our end, email us and we'll help sort it out.
Your data
What you put into Smara stays yours. You can export it anytime and delete your account when you like. How we handle data is covered in the Privacy page — the short version is no bank connection, no scraping, and never sold.
Availability and changes
We work to keep Smara running well, but we can't promise it's never down or never has a bug. Smara is provided "as is," without warranties beyond those the law won't let us waive, and we're not liable for indirect or incidental losses. We may update the app, these terms, or the plans over time; if we change these terms, we'll update the date above.
