Subscription & Account

Pricing, the Founder rate, the first round free, managing your subscription, and deleting your account.

During the beta, everything is free. While FOREPAID is in TestFlight there’s no paywall and nothing to buy. Subscriptions switch on at the App Store launch. This page explains how they’ll work.

1. What the subscription includes

One subscription covers everything FOREPAID does today:

There aren't tiers or paywalled extras. Either plan unlocks the whole app. The only difference is how you pay.

What’s free without a subscription: joining any friend’s round, and the Rangefinder. You only need a plan to host your own rounds after your free one.

2. Pricing

Two plans. Same product, same features, no hidden upsells.

Monthly
$9.99
per month, auto-renews

Pay as you go. Best for seasonal play: start in spring, cancel when the snow flies.

Annual
$59.99
per year, auto-renews · saves 50% vs monthly

Twelve months for the cost of six on the Monthly plan. Renews on the anniversary of your subscription start.

Founder pricing on the Annual plan
$39.99
first year only · first 500 annual subscribers

An introductory price on the Annual plan for the first 500 annual subscribers. Year one only. It renews at $59.99 a year after that. See Founder rate for the details.

All prices are in USD. Apple may convert to your local currency at the time of purchase.

3. First round free

Every new FOREPAID player gets their first completed round on us: full scoring, full Golfcaster commentary, the GPS, the live wager engine, and the Settle screen at the end.

Your free round is the first round you finish, whether you hosted it or joined a friend’s. Joining a friend’s round is always free. After your free round, you need a subscription to host. The plans appear when you tap Start on a round you’re hosting.

It's a real round, not a demo. Money you win or lose in your first round is real money you settle with your friends. FOREPAID never holds funds. See Settling up for how that works.

4. Founder rate

The Founder rate is an introductory price on the Annual plan for the first 500 annual subscribers. Monthly subscribers don’t count toward the 500. If you subscribe to Annual before the count hits 500, you pay $39.99 for your first year. After year one, your subscription auto-renews at $59.99 a year.

While Founder pricing is open, the annual card on the subscription screen reads ★ Founder and shows how many of the 500 slots are left. Once the slots are gone, the card reads Annual at the regular price.

The Founder rate covers one annual cycle. Apple's introductory-offer rules limit it to one year. After year one, you renew at the regular Annual price.

5. Refer-a-Friend

There’s no referral reward right now. We’ve switched the program off until it’s ready. Until then, the best way to bring friends in is to add them to your round. Their first round is free. See Guest Players.

6. How to subscribe

Once subscriptions start:

  1. Open FOREPAID on your iPhone.
  2. Set up a round you’re hosting and tap Start. After your free round, the subscription screen appears.
  3. Pick Monthly or the annual plan. If Founder pricing is still open, the annual card reads ★ Founder.
  4. Tap Subscribe. The Apple App Store purchase sheet appears.
  5. Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.

The charge appears on your Apple ID payment method (the same one you use for App Store purchases). Apple emails you a receipt.

Your subscription belongs to your Apple ID, not your FOREPAID email. On a new iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID and it comes with you.

7. Managing or cancelling

All subscription management goes through Apple, not FOREPAID. From iOS:

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone (the system Settings app).
  2. Tap your name at the top → Subscriptions.
  3. Tap FOREPAID.
  4. Tap Cancel Subscription to stop auto-renewal.

Cancelling stops the auto-renewal at the end of your current billing period. You keep access until that date. If you cancel three months into a year, you still get the remaining nine months.

Refunds go through Apple. FOREPAID can't issue refunds directly. Request a refund through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com within Apple's refund window.

8. Restoring purchases

If you reinstalled the app, switched iPhones, or your subscription isn't showing as active, use Restore:

  1. Open the subscription screen in FOREPAID.
  2. Tap Restore Purchases under the Subscribe button.
  3. Apple checks your Apple ID for an active FOREPAID subscription and reactivates it in the app.

Restore only works if you're signed into the same Apple ID that bought the subscription. If you bought on one Apple ID and use another on this phone, the two won't link. Can’t find it? Email support@forepaid.app.

9. Deleting your account

Deleting your account removes your profile (including your handicap), username, photo and payment handles, and signs you out. Rounds you played stay in your friends’ history, with your name removed.

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.
  3. Tap Delete permanently to confirm. Your account is deleted right away.
Cancel your subscription first. Deleting your FOREPAID account doesn't cancel the App Store subscription. That's an Apple-side record. Cancel it in iOS Settings → Subscriptions before deleting your account, or you'll keep getting charged.

For the full breakdown of what we keep, what we delete, and what's retained for legal reasons, see the Privacy Policy.
