  • A notification when a product you scanned or saved in the last year changes its ingredients, at most one a day and never at night

Billed by Apple through the App Store. Prices are shown in US dollars; the App Store shows the price for your country. After the free week the plan renews automatically until you cancel, which you can do anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.

A free use only counts when the feature works. AI features have daily fair-use limits on every plan, Premium included.
