Apple Small Business Program
We take less so you keep more.
ClayStudio is enrolled in Apple's Small Business Program, so Apple's commission is 15% instead of the standard 30%. We pass that on — more of your subscription stays with the people building the tool.
Pricing questions, answered plainly.
-
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. We use Apple's standard subscription system, so you can cancel any time from your iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Your access continues to the end of the billing period.
-
What about refunds?
Refunds are handled by Apple through the App Store. You can request one from reportaproblem.apple.com within their standard window — typically 60 days.
-
Is there a free trial?
The beta gives you three months free. After the beta ends, the Free tier stays available indefinitely with limited Hobbyist mode (10 pieces, 5 photos per piece, no AI workflow help).
-
Can I switch tiers?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade any time from iPhone Settings. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the next billing period.
-
Is family sharing supported?
Yes for the paid tiers. Apple Family Sharing covers Hobbyist, Teacher, and Production subscriptions for up to six members.
-
Why no lifetime option?
ClayStudio is a small studio with ongoing server costs (cloud sync, photo storage) and ongoing development. A monthly or yearly subscription keeps the math honest on both sides.
