One subscription covers every language, monthly or yearly: see pricing. If you’ve never subscribed before, it starts with a 7-day free trial, and you won’t be charged if you cancel before the trial ends.

Upgrade

Choose See plans in the Subscription card of your account, or wherever something is on the full plan: a later batch, a deck or a verb drill. The pricing section of the home page has the same plans.

The plans sheet: everything the full plan includes, and a choice of yearly or monthly.
  1. Everything the full plan includes.
  2. Yearly, which works out cheaper per month.
  3. Monthly, which you can cancel any time.

Continue to pay on Stripe’s secure checkout page. When you come back, everything is open straight away.

Manage or cancel your subscription

In your account, Manage billing opens Stripe’s secure page, where you can:

  • switch between monthly and yearly;
  • update your card;
  • download invoices and receipts;
  • cancel.

If you cancel, the full plan stays open until the end of the period you’ve paid for, then your account moves to the free plan. Your progress is kept either way, and subscribing again opens everything as it was.

Your data

Export data downloads every answer you’ve given, with your preferences, as a JSON file. Sign out signs you out on this device.

Delete your account

Delete account removes your account and all your progress for good, and can’t be undone. To confirm, type your username. If you have a subscription, it’s cancelled immediately, with no further charges. (Stripe keeps the invoices, as tax law requires.)

Coming from 1000 Italian Words

If you used 1000italianwords.com:

  • Create a new account here. Accounts don’t carry over. Use any email; we’ll send you a code, as there are no passwords on the new site.
  • You start fresh: progress from the old site doesn’t come with you.
  • If you subscribe on the old site, cancel there first, then subscribe here. Your subscription doesn’t move over, and the 7-day free trial is open to you here too.
  • The old site stays open for now. We’ll email its subscribers before it closes.
