No. It’s one payment of $39, plus any tax shown at checkout. It doesn’t renew, and it includes the premium features we add while Locustep is offered.
That’s when the Net-Impact Report is most useful: run it on your top two or three and see which comes out ahead for your income and household. The trip planner is built for the scouting weekend before you decide.
The free tools work without one. Buying Premium creates or uses a Locustep account so it unlocks on every device you sign in on, along with your saved work.
Only you, when signed in. They are never sent to Locustep’s analytics or error reports, and Locustep doesn’t sell data or show ads. Card details go to Stripe, not to Locustep.
Ask for a refund within 14 days of buying and you get your money back in full, no questions asked.
