Lapsed Free vs Pro: Which Plan Is Right for You?

·3 min read

Lapsed is free to download and use. But there's also a Pro tier that unlocks the full power of the app. Here's a detailed breakdown to help you decide.

What you get for free

The free tier is genuinely useful — it's not a crippled demo. You get:

  • 3 items per category — enough for a focused use case
  • 1 category — pick the one that matters most to you
  • Dots visual style — the clean, minimal canvas
  • 1 reminder per item — basic threshold notifications
  • Completion history — see when you last did each thing
  • Custom item colours — personalise individual items
  • Threshold line — drag to set your target days
  • Archive and restore — hide items without deleting them

For someone who just wants to track a few key things — say, three health appointments — the free tier covers you completely.

What Pro unlocks

Pro is for people who want to track their whole life. Here's what you get:

Unlimited items & categories

Remove all limits. Track as many things as you want, organised into as many categories as you need. Social, Health, Chores, Habits, Quitting — use them all.

All three visual styles

Unlock Balloons and Hot Air Balloons alongside the free Dots style. Each brings a different personality to your tracking canvas.

Charts & statistics

See trends over time. How consistent are you with exercise? Are your social catch-ups getting more or less frequent? Charts give you the data to answer these questions.

Data export

Download your items and completion history as a file. Your data is yours.

Multiple reminders

Stack up to 3 reminders per item — threshold-based, recurring, and date-based. Never let anything slip again.

Compact list view

Prefer a list to a canvas? The compact view shows all your items in a dense, configurable list format.

10 accent colours

Personalise the entire app with your choice of 10 accent colours: Coral, Blue, Emerald, Violet, Amber, Pink, Teal, Purple, Red, and Indigo.

Pricing

  • Monthly: $3.99/month
  • Yearly: $39.99/year (save 17%)
  • Lifetime: $49.99 one-time purchase

All plans unlock the exact same features. The only difference is billing frequency.

Which should you choose?

Start free. Use it for a week. If you find yourself wanting more items, more categories, or the balloon visuals — upgrade. There's no pressure and no time-limited trial.

If you do upgrade, the yearly plan is the best value for most people. But if you're sure you'll use Lapsed long-term, the lifetime purchase pays for itself in just over a year.

Supporting indie development

Lapsed is built by an independent developer. Every Pro subscription directly supports continued development — new features, bug fixes, and keeping the app alive. Your support genuinely matters.
