The free plan includes unlimited dream recording, 8 mood tags with theme colors, community browsing with a random member number, local-only storage on your device, and Markdown export to Obsidian. No credit card required.

Question 2

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Both Guardian Monthly and Guardian Annual offer a 30-day free trial with 100 credits. Your subscription begins automatically after the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can try all AI features during the trial.

Question 3

What are credits and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Credits are used for AI features. Dream visualization costs 8–50 credits depending on quality (Quick Background: 8, Standard: 15, HD: 30, 4K: 50). Jungian psychological analysis costs 10 credits. Monthly subscribers receive 400 credits per month; annual subscribers receive 4,800 credits per year.

Question 4

Do unused credits roll over?

Accepted Answer

Subscription credits do not roll over — unused monthly credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, and unused annual credits expire at the end of your subscription year. However, credits purchased through credit packs never expire and remain in your account indefinitely.

Question 5

What is the difference between Monthly and Annual?

Accepted Answer

Both plans include the same core features: AI visualization, Jungian analysis, cloud sync, and custom member numbers. The Annual plan saves you approximately 2 months (~$4.17/mo vs $4.99/mo), provides a larger credit pool (4,800/year), and includes priority support.

Question 6

How do I upgrade from Monthly to Annual?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from Monthly to Annual takes effect immediately. Apple prorates the remaining time on your monthly subscription and applies it toward the annual price. You receive the full annual credit allocation right away.

Question 7

How do I downgrade from Annual to Monthly?

Accepted Answer

Downgrading from Annual to Monthly takes effect at your next renewal date. You keep your annual plan benefits until the current period ends, then switch to monthly billing.

Question 8

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel anytime through your Apple ID account settings. You retain access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free plan, but all your dream entries remain accessible locally.

Question 9

What are credit packs?

Accepted Answer

Credit packs are one-time purchases that add credits to your account. Available in 500 ($4.99), 1,200 ($9.99), and 2,500 ($19.99) packs. These credits never expire and can be used alongside your subscription credits.

Question 10

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your dreams stored locally on your device remain accessible. Dreams synced to Epona Cloud remain available for 90 days after cancellation. You can export your entire dream journal as Markdown files at any time, even on the free plan.

Question 11

How is payment handled?

Accepted Answer

On the web, all payments are processed securely via Stripe. In the iOS app, purchases go through the App Store. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the end of the current period.

Question 12

Can I use Epona without a subscription?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The free plan is fully functional for recording, organizing, and exporting dreams. You can use community features, mood tags, and local storage without any subscription. AI visualization and analysis require credits from paid plans or credit packs.
