# Pricing

AI Chat Archive is free to try, paid to go beyond single-conversation exports.

Prices listed here are in USD and may change. For the live price, always check the
[buy page](https://aichatarchive.app/buy).

## Free tier

No license required. Install from the Chrome Web Store and start exporting.

- Export any **currently-open** conversation.
- All 5 formats (PDF, HTML, Markdown, JSON, Plain text).
- **3 PDF exports per day.** HTML / Markdown / JSON / TXT have no daily limit.
- Advanced settings (timestamp format, thinking inclusion, tool-call inclusion).
- A single attribution line at the footer of exported files.

## Paid tier — one license

Unlocks everything. Pick the tier that matches how you use Claude:

| Plan | Price | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| **Starter** | $3.99 / month | One month of full export, for a single cleanup or migration. |
| **Pro (annual)** | $29.88 / year | Best value if you stay subscribed — works out to $2.49/month. |
| **Lifetime** | ~~$39~~ **$19** (launch promo) | Pay once. Works forever, including all future features. |

### What every paid plan includes

- **Bulk export** every conversation on your Claude account into a single ZIP.
- **Include attachments** — uploaded files and Claude-generated `present_files`
  bundle alongside transcripts.
- **Unlimited PDF exports** — no 3/day cap.
- **No branding footer** on any exported file.
- One license activates on **all your Chromium browsers on the same machine**.

## How purchase + activation works

1. Click **Get a license** in the extension popup, or go to
   [aichatarchive.app/buy](https://aichatarchive.app/buy).
2. Checkout is hosted by **Polar**, a fully-featured merchant-of-record. They
   handle VAT, receipts, refunds.
3. After payment you receive a license key via email.
4. Paste the key into the extension popup's **License key** field → **Apply**.
5. Green check mark = activated. The paid features unlock immediately.

All conversation data stays on your machine throughout this flow. Polar only ever
sees your email, payment details, and the license key — never your Claude content.

## Payment methods

Via Polar:

- All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover).
- Apple Pay, Google Pay.
- PayPal.
- SEPA bank transfer (EU).
- Regional methods in some countries.

## Refund policy

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email <hello@aichatarchive.app>
with your license key.

Refunded licenses are revoked; the extension checks revocation status when it
validates the license. After revocation, the extension returns to free-tier
behavior. Already-exported files are yours to keep — we have no way to take them
back, and we wouldn't want to.

## Volume / team licenses
