Common questions
How much does Note & Key cost?
Pro is $12.99 USD / mo or $99 USD / yr, which saves 36% vs monthly, and covers one teacher with unlimited students. Studio is $24.99 USD / mo or $199 USD / yr and adds unlimited teachers sharing one schedule. There is also a Free plan at $0 that covers one student indefinitely. Every new studio starts with 30 days with everything unlocked — the full Studio plan — at no charge.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new studio gets 30 days with everything unlocked: the full Studio plan, so you can try unlimited students, playback speeds and the multi-teacher features. No card is required. Nothing is charged when it ends; the studio simply moves to the Free plan unless you subscribe to Pro or Studio.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You sign up with an email address and start on the trial. A payment method is only needed if you decide to subscribe to Pro or Studio at the end of it.
What happens to my data when the trial ends?
Nothing is deleted. Students, lessons, invoices and practice history all stay exactly where they are. The Free plan limits what you can add and which features you can open, but everything already in your studio remains visible, and a subscription restores full access the moment you subscribe.
Is the Free plan actually usable, or just a demo?
The Free plan covers 1 student with practice assignments, 5 practice recordings a month, timestamped feedback, scheduling, lesson notes, the family login and 1 invoice a month. That is enough to teach one student properly, indefinitely. It is not enough to run a studio, which is what Pro is for.
Do you take a percentage of my lesson fees?
No. When a family pays by card, Stripe charges its standard processing fee and we add nothing on top. Interac e-Transfer costs nothing either way. Our revenue is the Pro and Studio subscriptions.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes, and you keep your plan until the end of the period you already paid for. If you subscribed on the website, cancel from Manage subscription in the app — it opens Stripe's billing portal. If you subscribed on your iPhone, cancel in your Apple subscription settings. The full auto-renewal, cancellation and refund terms are on the Subscription Terms page.
Is annual cheaper than monthly?
Yes. Pro is $99 USD / yr against $12.99 USD / mo billed twelve times, which saves 36% vs monthly. Studio is $199 USD / yr against $24.99 USD / mo, which saves 34% vs monthly.
