Why is there a paid tier at all?
Because running a sync server costs money, and we'd rather charge €4 than insert ads or sell your data. Free is built into the product, not a loss-leader.
Can I switch from Cloud back to Free?
Any time. Cancel, your local file keeps working unchanged. The cloud copy gets deleted after 30 days.
What happens if I don't pay?
The free local app keeps working forever. Only cloud sync stops. You lose nothing on disk.
Do you sell my data?
No — we don't sell or share your data, full stop. Cloud sync data lives in a private per-user database used only to run the service. See Privacy.
One-time purchase?
Not at the moment. Sync is an ongoing service, so the model is ongoing. We don't rule it out for a future "perpetual offline" tier.
Is there a team / label plan?
Email teams@phasecrate.io. We've done bespoke setups for record labels and DJ collectives.
Start where it's free.
You can always upgrade later — and the local app keeps every record on your machine either way.
