Billing FAQ
Is LifeWell free?
Yes — all core features are free with no time limit. A premium tier is planned for higher limits + supplementary features. The free tier is the product, not a teaser.
What's the premium tier?
Premium (when launched) will offer:
- Higher per-memory photo limits.
- Longer audio note durations.
- Unlimited family tree depth.
- Premium themes.
- Full-history insights.
- Priority support.
Free tier covers everyday use; premium is for power users. See Premium and payments for the latest pricing.
What are consultation credits?
Credits are LifeWell's prepaid currency for booking 1-on-1 sessions with verified professionals (doctors, midwives, nutritionists, etc.). 1 credit ≈ $0.10 USD equivalent. Sold in packs of 50 / 100 / 250 / 500. Sessions cost 50-300 credits depending on the professional.
How do I buy credits / premium?
From the relevant page → Buy / Subscribe → routes to https://aoneahsan.com/payment?project-id=lifewell&project-identifier=com.aoneahsan.lifewell → complete payment externally → LifeWell receives confirmation → balance updates.
The external payment flow avoids the 30% platform fees Apple / Google charge for in-app purchases of digital goods. The trade-off: extra step (open browser); benefit: lower fees → more sustainable platform.
On iOS (once available), in-app purchases via Apple's IAP system will be added alongside the external option (Apple requires IAP for digital goods).
What payment methods are supported?
- Credit / debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover).
- Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay).
- Region-specific options (UPI, SEPA, regional cards) depending on the processor's coverage.
How do refunds work?
- Premium: pro-rata refund within first 14 days. After 14 days, no refund on the current month.
- Credits: unused credits refundable within 30 days of purchase.
- Consultations: per the consultation's cancellation policy (typically 24 hours' notice for full credit refund).
Submit refund requests via aoneahsan@gmail.com or the in-app Refund request form. Most refunds process within 3-5 business days.
Can I cancel my premium subscription?
Yes — Settings → Premium and payments → Cancel subscription. The subscription stays active through the current billing period; features revert to free at renewal.
Do credits expire?
No — credits don't expire. Buy 100 today, use them in 2 years.
Will the premium price increase over time?
Probably not for current subscribers — grandfathering is the typical policy. New subscribers may see different pricing as the product matures. Annual subscribers get a discount over monthly.
What about students / non-profits?
Discounts available case-by-case for verified students and non-profit organizations. Email aoneahsan@gmail.com with verification (student ID or non-profit registration) for a discount code.
What about gift / family plans?
Currently no family-plan multi-account discount. Consultation credits can be gifted (you buy, then transfer to a recipient's account — manual process for now via support).
I see a charge I don't recognise.
Email aoneahsan@gmail.com with the transaction reference + the date. We'll investigate. If fraudulent, we'll refund.
Where do invoices come from?
The external payment processor (aoneahsan.com/payment) handles billing. Invoices download from there.
What happens to my credits if I delete my account?
Unused credits: refunded pro-rata if within the 30-day window; otherwise forfeited.
Used credits: paid out to the relevant professional already; not refundable.
Will LifeWell ever charge for currently-free features?
We won't paywall features that were free at sign-up. New features may launch as premium-only, but existing free features stay free.
