What Free actually gets you
Everything that makes a record of where you have been. You add matches, Groundhopper works out the distance from your home city, draws the routes on a map, counts the grounds and the countries, and keeps a season-by-season history. You get a public profile you can switch on if you want to show it to anyone, and a bucket list for the grounds you still want to tick off.
There is no match limit, no time limit and no card. If you never upgrade, nothing is taken away from you later.
Why the paid plans cost what they cost
Two things in Groundhopper cost real money every time they run. The first is print-resolution rendering: an A1 poster at roughly 300 dpi is a browser running on a server, drawing your map at thirteen times normal scale. The second is the AI features — reading a ticket photo, resolving a club name to the right ground, planning a trip. Every one of those is a paid API call.
That is the whole reason the line between Free and Premium sits exactly where it sits. It is not a line drawn to make Free annoying.
Paying, renewing, cancelling
Payments go through Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own pages and never touch our servers — we only ever store two identifiers so we know which plan your account is on.
A subscription renews every month until you cancel. You cancel yourself, in Settings → Manage subscription, which opens Stripe’s billing portal. Cancelling stops the next payment; the features stay active until the end of the period you already paid for.
If you change your mind within 14 days of your first payment, write to us and we refund it in full — whether or not you used the paid features. The full rules are in the terms of service.
What happens to your data if you stop paying
Nothing is deleted. A subscription that lapses moves the account back to Free: the matches, the map, the history and the stadium list all stay exactly as they were. You lose access to the paid features, not to your own record.
You can export your matches at any time, on any plan, and you can delete your account and everything in it from Settings whenever you want.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need a card to start?
No. Free needs an email address and nothing else.
Is there a free trial of Premium?
No, and that is deliberate. A trial that quietly turns into a charge is the thing we most wanted to avoid building. Free stays free; you upgrade when you decide the paid features are worth it.
Can I switch between Premium and MAX?
Yes, from the same billing portal, at any time.
Is MAX worth it if I only go to football?
Probably not. MAX exists for people who also count basketball, volleyball, Formula 1 or anything else they travel to. If your record is football and only football, Premium is the ceiling you need.
