As may be reasonably requested by Ask Allen from time to time, You agree to verify, certify, or provide evidence that its use of the Service is within the applicable usage limits.

To use the Service, you may be required to create an account. You agree to:
You are responsible for all activity conducted under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
Upon first launch whether you are using the web-based or mobile application part of the Services, you need to create an account using email/password, Sign in with Google, or phone number verification. A user profile is created in the Ask Allen backend (Firebase Authentication + Firestore).
The system records:
No payment method is required to begin the trial.
| Insight | Oversight | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Price | $9.99 | $24.99 | Annual: $99.99/yr and $249.99/yr |
| Mobile Billing | Apple/Google IAP via RevenueCat | Apple/Google IAP via RevenueCat | App store is merchant of record |
| Web Billing | Stripe via RevenueCat | Stripe via RevenueCat | Ask Allen LLC is merchant of record |
| Trial | 30 days (Oversight access) | 30 days | Managed internally, not by billing platform |
All new users receive a 30-day free trial of the Oversight tier regardless of whether you sign up to use the mobile app or web-based version of the Services. The trial is managed internally (tracked in the application database), not by Stripe or the app stores. When the free trial expires without a subscription, the user retains read-only access to historical data but active features (AI chat, bank syncing, new transaction entry) are disabled.
The free trial shall expire automatically after 30 days. No payment method is required during the trial (for web signups).
At the end of the 30-day trial, the user is presented with a subscription prompt. Two options are offered:
Option A — Subscribe to Insight — $9.99/month or $99.99/year (~$8.33/month effective). Includes: AI chat (50 messages/month), 1–2 connected accounts, basic financial summaries, and conversational projections.
Option B — Upgrade to Oversight — $24.99/month or $249.99/year (~$20.83/month effective). Includes everything in Insight plus full web dashboard access (described in Stage 8(d) below). Users may upgrade from Insight to Oversight through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Ask Allen website at askallen.ai.
If the user takes no action, access to the Insight features is suspended until a subscription is activated. Financial data is retained and remains accessible upon resubscription. No data is deleted.
Subscription billing for the mobile app version of the Service is processed exclusively through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) in-app purchase systems using RevenueCat as the subscription management middleware. Ask Allen does not handle payment card data directly.
The subscribed Insight user continues using the mobile app. Ask Allen is now a persistent financial advisor in their pocket:
At this stage, the user’s financial data is accumulating and Allen’s responses become increasingly personalized based on transaction history and verified merchant mappings.
As the user’s financial life grows more complex — additional accounts, business income, property, investment tracking — the Insight tier’s limitations become apparent. The app surfaces an upgrade prompt: Allen may flag it conversationally (“You’re managing a lot of moving parts — the full dashboard might be worth a look”) or the user navigates to the upgrade screen directly.
The Oversight upgrade includes a 30-day free trial of the Oversight tier, regardless of prior Insight subscription status. The user reviews the Oversight feature set and confirms the upgrade through the App Store / Google Play billing system.
Upon upgrade, the Insight subscription is replaced by the Oversight subscription. The 30-day Oversight trial begins. If the user was already paying for Insight, the billing transition is handled by the platform (Apple/Google) according to their standard upgrade proration policies.
The user now has access to all Oversight features, including the full web dashboard at askallen.ai. The same account credentials used in the mobile app grant access to the dashboard — there is no separate registration.
Oversight trial features include:
All data is shared between the mobile app and web dashboard in real time. A user who adds a projected transaction on the dashboard sees it reflected in the mobile app immediately, and Ask Allen’s chat on both platforms reflects the same financial context.
At the end of the Oversight trial, the user is billed at the selected rate ($24.99/month or $249.99/year). Billing continues until cancelled. The user manages their subscription through the Ask Allen website.
Key ongoing behaviors:
Downgrade (Oversight → Insight): The user can downgrade from Oversight to Insight at any time. The downgrade takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. During the remaining paid Oversight period, full dashboard access is maintained. After expiration, dashboard access is suspended and the account reverts to Insight-tier mobile features. Financial data is retained in full. If the user has more than 2 connected accounts, data is preserved but accounts beyond the Insight limit are paused (not deleted) until the user reconnects under an Oversight subscription.
Cancellation: The user can cancel their subscription through the App Store or Google Play at any time. Access continues through the end of the paid period. After expiration, the account enters a read-only state — Ask Allen is not available for new queries, but historical data remains accessible. If the user resubscribes, full access is restored immediately. No data is deleted upon cancellation.
Account deletion: The user may request deletion of their account and all associated data by clicking on the app settings/delete account. Upon confirmed deletion, all personal and financial data is purged from Ask Allen systems in accordance with applicable privacy law (including CCPA). Plaid access tokens are revoked. Third-party platform subscriptions (App Store / Google Play) must be cancelled by the user separately through those platforms — Ask Allen cannot cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions on the user’s behalf.
Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions for the mobile app automatically renew unless canceled through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings.
Refunds: App store subscribers are subject to Apple’s or Google’s refund policies. Ask Allen has no ability to issue refunds for app store purchases. Ask Allen cannot guarantee refunds and cannot override Apple/Google decisions.
Price Changes: We may change subscription pricing. Apple/Google may require you to affirmatively accept price increases before renewal.
Adjustment of Subscription Terms: We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or terminate any subscription service or replace, change, or update any part of these subscription terms at any time. This includes, but is not limited to, changing the scope of the subscription services, subscription fees, billing methods, and service features.
Price Changes: We may adjust the pricing for our subscription services at any time at our sole discretion. Any price changes will take effect following email notice to you or an announcement on our service platform.
Notification of Changes: We will provide advance notice before any new subscription terms or price changes take effect. Notification will be sent to the email address associated with your account or will be prominently displayed on our service platform.
Continued Use After Changes: Your continued use of the subscription service after the notice period constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the changes, you have the right to cancel your subscription before the new terms or prices take effect.
Cancellation Rights: If you do not wish to continue with the subscription under the new terms or pricing, you may cancel your subscription by following the cancellation procedures provided in your account settings or as otherwise provided in our service communications.
Effect of Cancellation: Upon cancellation, you will lose access to the subscription services after the end of your current billing cycle, and no further charges will be applied to your account for the canceled subscription service.
Billings, refunds and cancellations are managed by Apple or Google. Disputes are handled through the respective app store. Ask Allen does not process payments or have access to payment methods for these subscribers.
In-App Purchases (Apple / Google). Subscriptions are purchased through:
and may be managed through RevenueCat, a subscription management platform.
Billing for the web-based version of the Service is managed by Ask Allen LLC via Stripe. Refunds, cancellations, and billing disputes are handled by Ask Allen directly. Payment method information is processed and stored by Stripe; Ask Allen does not store credit card numbers.
When users subscribe through Apple or Google, the app store is the merchant of record. Apple/Google handles payment processing, refunds, chargebacks, and sales tax collection. Ask Allen receives net revenue after platform commission. When users subscribe through Stripe on the web, Ask Allen LLC is the merchant of record.
This means Ask Allen directly handles:
You are responsible for paying Ask Allen for all monthly and yearly Fees (“Fees”) to subscribe to use the Service each month the Term is in effect as set forth on our website. Web subscriptions are processed via Stripe Checkout. Two tiers: Oversight at $24.99/month or $249.99/year, Insight at $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period; a pre-renewal notification email will be sent before each renewal.
By subscribing to use the Service, You agree to pay Ask Allen’s applicable yearly fees. Unless otherwise provided in writing by Us, You will pay all fees due on a yearly basis prior to the Term commencing according to the prices and terms listed on our website. Payment for all fees shall be due upon the Effective Date and payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Fees are based on the Services purchased and not actual usage. Fees are based on annual periods that commence on the Effective Date and end on the anniversary thereof. Fees for any additional Services purchased during the Contract Term will be prorated for the remaining time of the monthly or yearly period in which they were purchased.
If your use of the Service: (a) exceeds any applicable usage limits set forth on the website; or (b) otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), You shall be billed for such usage and You agree to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Ask Allen reserves the right to change the Order Pricing or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees at the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term (each as defined below), upon 30 days prior notice to You (which may be sent by email). If You believe that Ask Allen has billed You incorrectly, You must contact Ask Allen no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Ask Allen’s support department.
Ask Allen may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Ask Allen 30 days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service other than U.S. taxes based on Ask Allen’s net income.
You can request a 30-day money-back refund on your first subscription payment for the web based version of the Services only. You shall not be entitled to any refunds on subscriptions made during any subscription renewal periods. Pre-renewal notification email will be sent before each renewal.
To cancel a subscription, you must link to the Stripe Customer Portal accessible from the Ask Allen dashboard settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. User retains full control until cancellation.
You acknowledge that purchases under this Agreement or any Order Form are not contingent on the delivery of future features or functionality.
Our subscription plans’ billing frequency/term is daily, monthly or yearly. 30 days from the Effective Date is the initial term for a monthly subscription (the “Monthly Term”). One year from the Effective Date is the initial term for a yearly subscription (the “Yearly Term”). For the avoidance of doubt monthly subscription plans are for an initial period of 30 days and will thereafter automatically renew for successive 30-day periods. You must provide five (5) days’ notice to terminate the agreement if you choose the monthly term subscription plan. The yearly one (1) year terms shall automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods unless either party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Pricing during renewal terms shall be increased by up to 5% per year for each sequential year at Our discretion.
Either party can terminate this agreement for convenience by providing one (1) day’s notice, in accordance with the Terms. (This language is for users of Ask Allen’s web-based software.) You can only terminate for convenience during the initial subscription period and not in any additional renewal subscription periods.
This Agreement shall terminate upon any breach of the Terms by You or Your Authorized Users, in accordance with the Terms. (This language is for users of Ask Allen’s web-based software.)
Upon termination, (i) you shall cease any and all use of the Service and You shall relinquish to Us or destroy any and all parts of the Service in Your control, and (ii) all rights, licenses, consents and authorizations granted by Us to You will immediately terminate. The termination of this Agreement shall not limit Our rights or remedies at law or in equity. After expiration, account enters read-only mode: historical data visible but active features (AI chat, bank syncing, new transaction entry, reports) disabled. (This language is for users of Ask Allen’s web-based software.)
Ask Allen may suspend delivery of the Service, without liability, if: (i) You fail to pay any amounts due hereunder to Us, and nonpayment continues for more than thirty (30) days from when notice is given to You by Us; (ii) We reasonably believe that the Services are being used in violation of this Agreement; (iii) You do not cooperate with Our reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of this Agreement; (iv) there is an attack on Your server by a third party, Your server is accessed or manipulated by a third party without Your consent, or there is another event for which We reasonably believe that the suspension of the Services is necessary to protect Our network or Clients; or (v) required by law. We shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give You reasonable notice of a suspension of the Service unless immediate suspension is necessary to protect Us or Our Clients from imminent significant operational or security risk. (This language is for users of Ask Allen’s web-based software.)
If You discover any material defect with the Service, You must notify Ask Allen in writing, and as your sole and exclusive remedy and Ask Allen’s sole obligation, Ask Allen will either use reasonable efforts to correct any such defect within sixty (60) days of the date the defect was reported, or create a workaround so as to fix the material defect affected in the Software. If Ask Allen is unable to correct or fix the defect in the Software, and the defect renders the Software unusable, You shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and Ask Allen shall issue a pro-rata refund of Subscription Fees for the remaining term of the Agreement. Refund of any such fees is contingent upon your best efforts cooperation in assisting Ask Allen to determine the extent of the defect. (This language is for users of Ask Allen’s web-based software.)
Treatment of your data after termination or expiration of this Agreement is addressed in our Privacy Policy.
Upon early termination of this Agreement by You under Section 12.6 for Ask Allen’s uncured material breach, You are entitled to a prorated refund of prepaid fees relating to the Service applicable to the remaining period in the applicable Subscription Term. Upon early termination of this Agreement by Ask Allen under Section 12.3, fees relating to the Service applicable to the duration of any applicable Subscription Term shall become immediately due and payable by Client. In addition, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) all subscription rights granted under this Agreement, Ask Allen’s obligation to provide the Services, and Client’s right to access or receive the Services, will terminate; and (b) Your Data will be available for retrieval and deleted pursuant to our Privacy Policy. Paragraphs 23 (“Disclaimer of Warranties”), 24 (“Limitation of Liability”), 25 (“Indemnification”), and 20 (“Confidentiality and Sensitive Data”) will survive.
You acknowledge that the Services utilize automated systems, including machine learning models (collectively the “LLMs”) and rules-based classification engines, to analyze financial transaction data and generate categorizations, spending summaries, budgeting suggestions, alerts, and related financial insights (“AI Output”).
AI Output is probabilistic in nature and is generated based on patterns detected in available data. The Services may apply confidence-based scoring methodologies when classifying transactions; however, classifications may be incorrect despite commercially reasonable efforts to optimize accuracy.

When a user corrects a merchant label or transaction category, that correction may contribute to an aggregated merchant mapping table.
Upon account deletion:
Such retained data:
Because this information is not reasonably linkable to an individual, it is not subject to deletion upon account closure.
