How Much Does VocaX Cost? Monthly or Annual Only, No Lifetime Option (Prices, Trial Length and Billing Are Stated in the Pricing Section on Our Home Page)
VocaX comes in two payment options and nothing else: monthly and annual, with prices and billing stated in the pricing section on our home page. There is no lifetime option and no pay-once-own-forever tier. Eligible plans include a 14-day free trial, as shown on the App Store subscription page, and canceling during the trial costs nothing. The free tier keeps working indefinitely — you do not have to pay to start. Paying unlocks AI translation quota, a weekly Memory Insights report, and subscriber themes.
This page answers three things: what you pay, how to choose between monthly and annual, and what still does not change after you pay.
1. The price table: monthly and annual, and nothing else
There are two plans. Both carry exactly the same entitlements; only the billing period differs.
| Plan | Price | Free trial | Right for you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | As stated in the pricing section on our home page | 14 days (eligibility applies) | You want a short push of a few weeks, or are not sure you will stay |
| Annual | As stated in the pricing section on our home page | 14 days (eligibility applies) | You expect to use it across a full exam cycle, or you already use it daily |
Monthly and annual buy the same subscription. There is no version where paying yearly unlocks more; the only difference is how often you are billed and what you spend in total.
Prices and trial length are as stated in the pricing section on our home page — the subscription is handled by Apple, so Apple’s page decides the price, the trial eligibility and the renewal terms.
2. How far the free tier goes
The free tier is not a time-limited trial and not a cut-down demo: the main dictionary, the word lists, all three active practice formats, review scheduling, flags and favorites, and the free theme are all open. You can keep using them, and there is no expiry date. Nothing you have already learned gets taken back because you have not paid.
The difference between free and paid comes down to AI-related quotas, the weekly report, and themes. Every free-tier quota is listed in full in What Is Free in VocaX.
3. What you gain by paying
| Item | Free | VocaX Opus |
|---|---|---|
| AI translation | 20 / day | 1,000 / day |
| Word lookup | 50 / day | 50 / day — the same as free |
| Memory Insights report | First complete report free | Up to 1 / week, plus earlier reports to browse |
| Scenario audio | 5 / week | No weekly cap |
| Word music | 5 / week each in the word page and the radio | No weekly cap |
| Review sessions | 5 / week | No weekly cap |
| Themes | Free theme | Subscriber themes |
In total: AI translation raised to 1,000 a day, a Memory Insights report of up to one a week, scenario audio, word music and review sessions without their weekly caps, and subscriber themes. Word lookup is not among them — it stays at 50 a day on both tiers, and we are not going to present it as a reason to subscribe.
A subscription changes quotas and how often you get a report, not the content of the word lists. Entries, definitions, example sentences and illustrations are all preset; paying does not hand you another batch of words.
4. Monthly or annual — how to choose
It comes down to one question: how long do you expect to use it?
- You are in it for a full exam cycle — your next exam is months away, or you already open VocaX every day — choose annual. You stop thinking about renewal and stop re-deciding whether to continue.
- You want a short push of a few weeks — working intensively through one word list — choose monthly and stop when you are done.
- You have not decided yet — stay on the free tier and save the trial for a stretch when you actually have several days in a row to use it. The free tier is complete on its own; you do not need a subscription to try VocaX.
One thing worth knowing up front: there is no hidden tier that unlocks after a certain length of payment, and there is no limited-time offer on this page.
5. How to use the free trial, and how to cancel
The trial gives you the full subscription experience; it is not a window for tapping every button once. What is worth testing is whether the daily workload fits the time you actually have, whether you know how to come back after missing a day, and whether translation and the weekly report are things you will really use. The order to test them in is set out in What to Test During the Free Trial.
Canceling during the trial costs nothing. Cancellation happens in Apple’s subscription settings, following the path shown on the subscription page on your device. It is worth checking the renewal date before the trial ends rather than after the charge goes through.
6. Canceling, refunds, and your data
- Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Canceling and changing the payment method are handled in Apple’s subscription settings; refunds are governed by Apple’s terms. There is no separate place on our side where you cancel.
- Entitlements stay available until the end of the current billing period, after which you return to the free tier. The exact date is shown on Apple’s subscription page.
- Canceling does not delete your learning data. Word list progress, flags and favorites all stay; going back to free only means the quotas return to free-tier levels.
- There is no lifetime option. If what you want is to pay once and own it forever, VocaX is not that kind of product.
One thing that has nothing to do with price but matters more: while you are not signed in, your learning data lives only on this device, and switching phones or reinstalling leaves no second copy. Privacy and Your Data covers that in full.
7. The boundaries: what a subscription cannot do for you
- It does not promise a higher score, and it does not promise you will remember a certain number of words. A subscription buys quota, reports and themes — not learning outcomes. How much you retain depends on how much you practice and how well you practice it.
- It does not change your review schedule. When a word comes back is decided by your own practice results, not by whether you have paid.
- It does not add new words or new definitions. Entries are preset by us; you cannot create your own cards or rewrite the content of any card.
- It does not manage your time for you. VocaX sends no remote push notifications and runs no streak rewards.
It is closer to the truth to think of paying as “opening the daily quota gate a little wider” than as “buying a better memory outcome”.
FAQ
Is there a lifetime or pay-once option for VocaX?
No. VocaX is monthly or annual only, and there is no way to pay once and own it forever. That is a standing decision, not a temporary promotion.
Should I choose monthly or annual billing?
Both carry the same entitlements, so it depends on how long you expect to use it: annual if you are in it for a full exam cycle or already use it daily, monthly if you want a short push of a few weeks. If you have not decided, stay on the free tier, which keeps working on its own.
Will I be charged if I cancel during the free trial?
No. Canceling during the trial costs nothing. Cancellation happens in Apple’s subscription settings, which also shows the trial end date — worth confirming before the trial runs out.
Can I keep using VocaX without subscribing?
Yes. The free tier has no expiry date: the main dictionary, word lists, all three active practice formats, review scheduling, flags and favorites are all open, and only AI translation, word lookup, scenario audio, word music, review sessions and the weekly report carry quotas. Quotas refill the next day or the next week rather than locking you out for good.
Is my learning data still there after I cancel?
Yes. Canceling does not delete your learning data — word list progress, flags and favorites all stay, and only the quotas return to free-tier levels. Cancellation is managed by Apple through its subscription settings; refunds are likewise governed by Apple’s terms.
