Pricing FAQ

How does billing work?

All payments are processed securely by Apple via the App Store. You manage your subscription — including cancellation — through your Apple ID settings.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel through your Apple ID settings at any time. Your Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued.

Is there a free trial?

Not currently. The free tier gives you full SSH terminal access with 1 saved server so you can evaluate GateShell before subscribing.

What happens if I downgrade from Pro to Free?

Your existing server configs remain saved, but you'll only be able to connect to your most recently used server. Pro-only features like SFTP and port forwarding will be locked.
