Is it worth it?

The math, without the hand-waving.

Pricing pages that won't tell you the math are usually the ones where the math doesn't favor them. Here's ours - in the two forms that matter.

Time saved vs cost of Pro
Typing ~4 hours/mo -> $2.99 pays for itself in 8 minutes
Average Pro user saves about 4 hours per month of active typing. At any hourly rate above $0.75/hr, the subscription pays for itself inside a single workday.
Coffee anchor
Pro is $2.99/mo = less than one latte
Pro costs less than one coffee per month. Premium is less than two. We priced it this way on purpose - we'd rather have one million happy users than ten thousand reluctantly paying ones.
What 500 credits actually buys you.
Pro monthly allowance
Smart Rewrite 1 cr
25 = Free monthly 500 = ~17 rewrites/day 10k = heavy pro usage
Translate 1 cr
25 = occasional 500 = daily multi-lingual 10k = bulk translation
Smart Copy (OCR) beta
Currently beta-gated for Pro+ subscribers; sign up at makroexpander.com/beta. Credit cost will be published if and when Smart Copy leaves beta.

Questions, answered

The honest FAQ.

Yes, and we plan to keep it that way. The free tier has unlimited macros, unlimited categories, clipboard history, keyboard shortcuts, usage stats, local AI via Ollama or LM Studio, and 25 Makro Credits per month for our cloud AI features.

No account required. No time limit. No artificial cap to make you upgrade.

A Credit is one unit of AI processing on our cloud infrastructure. Smart Rewrite costs 1 credit per call. Translate costs 1 credit per call. Smart Copy (OCR) is currently beta-gated for Pro+ subscribers and does not consume Makro Credits during the beta period; per-image credit cost will be published if and when it leaves beta.

Unused credits don't roll over to the next month. Local providers like Ollama and LM Studio use zero credits - they run on your machine, on your compute, using your electricity, and Makro never touches the network for those.

With 500 credits (Pro), a typical user runs 10-20 AI operations a day without ever thinking about the count. With 10,000 credits (Premium), you stop thinking about the count entirely.

The lifetime option is a one-time purchase with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Subscription plan details are shown per-plan at checkout.

They stay on your device. Always. Cancellation stops cloud sync, but nothing is deleted from your local storage. You can continue using every macro you've ever created - just on one device going forward.

You can also export your entire library as JSON at any point, from Settings -> Data & Sync. Your macros, your data, your control.

A one-time payment of $149 for every Premium feature, forever. No recurring charges. No renewal emails. If we raise prices later, you keep the original deal.

We're running this during our launch window to reward early supporters who believe in what we're building. Once the allocated spots fill, the offer ends. 14-day money-back guarantee included - if it doesn't fit, email us for a full refund.

Yes, upgrade or downgrade anytime. Upgrades are prorated for the remainder of the current billing period. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current period so you don't lose paid access you've already bought.

Cancellation keeps your access through the end of the billing period, then reverts to the free tier - with all your local macros intact.

Not for existing subscribers. If we raise prices in the future, the price you signed up at is the price you keep. Annual subscriptions lock in their rate for the full year regardless of market changes.

The Lifetime Deal is by definition immune to price changes - you've paid once, and that's it.

Teams of up to 5 are best served by Pro or Premium subscriptions for each teammate, plus Team Packs for sharing curated macro collections. There's no volume discount currently and no seat minimums.
