Questions?
Is there really a free plan?
Yes! You get 20 free citations every month, forever. No credit card required.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. Cancel with one click. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay via Paddle.
Do you offer student discounts?
Our Semester plan at about $5/month is designed for students and matches the academic calendar.
Do you offer plans for teams or institutions?
For team or institutional licensing, visit our contact page at citeme.app/contact.
What happens to my data if I cancel or downgrade?
Your citations and library data are always yours. You can export everything as plain text at any time, even on the free plan. Nothing is ever deleted or locked when you downgrade.
What if I only need it for one paper?
The Weekly plan at $2.99 is perfect for that. Most students use 15–30 citations per paper — format them all in minutes instead of hours.
Is Pro really worth it over the free plan?
The free plan gives you 10 citations/month in 7 styles. Pro unlocks unlimited citations, all 10,000+ styles, library saving, and export to BibTeX/RIS. If you write more than one assignment per month, Pro pays for itself in time saved.
