Billing

Raycast offers a number of subscription tiers in addition to free-of-charge features.

Each subscription tier unlocks features on an account basis and is valid across all platforms Raycast is available on. For instance, one Pro subscription entitles you to Pro features simultaneously on the macOS, Windows and iOS versions of Raycast, provided you are logged in to the same account on each device. You do not need separate accounts to use Raycast on different platforms.

Plans

Raycast

Free users have unlimited access to Raycast's core feature set, which includes Clipboard History, Snippets, Quicklinks, Calculator, Emoji Picker, Window Management, Hyper Key, and more, in addition to unlimited access to the Extensions Store and developer tooling.

Free users also receive a one-time 50 free messages to use with any Raycast Pro AI models to trial Raycast's AI features and can optionally use Raycast AI with their own compatible API key from other AI subscriptions (BYOK).

Creating a free account

You can create your Raycast account from our website at raycast.com.

Alternatively, if using the iOS version of Raycast, you can create a new account when launching the app for the first time — simply tap Create Account on the splash screen that appears on first launch or when the app is logged out.

Starting a new subscription

You can either create a free account first or start a new subscription right away. Head to the Pricing section of our website and choose a subscription and billing interval.

If you're using the iOS version, you can sign up for a subscription whilst creating your account, or login to your free account and open Settings. Either tap Try Free at the top of the Settings page to begin a 14-day trial of the Pro subscription, or tap Subscription to choose from other tiers.

How you are billed

Billing works identically whether you are on an Individual plan or a Teams plan. Enterprise customers should contact us directly at enterprise@raycast.com.

Pro

Trial period

When a new user starts a Yearly or Monthly Pro subscription, they begin with a 14-day free trial. When the trial period ends, you will automatically be billed either the Yearly or Monthly amount, depending on the billing cycle chosen at checkout. To avoid being charged, you can cancel before the trial period ends via your Account Settings.

Each user account is entitled to one free trial. If you end your subscription and resubscribe later, your new subscription will begin billing immediately with no new trial period.

Monthly billing

With a Monthly subscription, you'll first be billed on the day your trial period ends (14 days after you signed up) and then again on the same date every month. For instance, if you began your first Pro subscription on the 3rd March, you'll receive a 14-day free trial and then be billed for your first full month on 17th March, then 17th April, then 17th May, and so on until you end the subscription.

Yearly billing

Yearly subscriptions receive a 20% discount over Monthly subscriptions. With the Yearly subscription, you'll first be billed on the day your trial period ends (14 days after you signed up) and then again on the same date the following year. For instance, if your trial ends on 14th March 2026, you'll be automatically billed for the following year on 14th March 2027, then again on 14th March 2028, and so on until you cancel.

Auto-renewal

Both the Monthly and Yearly Pro subscriptions automatically renew. You'll be billed at the next billing date unless you cancel before.

Cancelling your subscription

You can end your subscription at any time from your Account Settings. This will end your auto-renewal. You'll continue to receive your Pro benefits right up until your renewal date and will then revert to a Free account.

Advanced AI

Advanced AI is an add-on to your Pro subscription. You will need an existing Pro subscription in order to add it.

You can begin and end an Advanced AI subscription at any point during your Pro subscription. You will always be billed on the same renewal cycle as your Pro subscription — for instance, if you are on a Yearly Pro subscription, you will be billed for a Yearly Advanced AI subscription.

Because you can begin and end your Advanced AI subscription at any point, if you add Advanced AI part-way through your Pro subscription, you will be billed a pro-rata amount for the time remaining until your next Pro renewal date. If you end your Advanced AI add-on before your next Pro renewal date, you'll be automatically issued a pro-rata refund for the time unused.

Managing your subscription

For subscriptions started from the Raycast website
