Founding first-year offer
50% off your first paid year on web and Google Play; Apple's closest local price point.
then A$24/year from the second year.
Choose the founding offer before 3 March 2027 and your first web charge is 50% off — A$12. Nothing is charged now: the first web payment is deferred until the free period ends on 3 March 2027. The subscription then renews at the regular web yearly price of A$24/year unless you cancel.
Google Play applies the same 50% discount (currently A$12.50 in Australia). Apple uses its closest available local price point (currently A$12.99 in Australia). Both renew at A$24.99/year in Australia, with localised equivalents elsewhere. Subscribing in a store before 3 March 2027 supports the project and locks in your founding price; the store charges straight away, so it buys the price, not the access. Premium access follows your signed-in OpenScripture account across web, iPhone, iPad, and Android; manage billing with the provider you purchased through.
Give a year of Premium
Know someone who loves Scripture? Buy a gift subscription and they redeem the code at app.openscripture.io/redeem — a full year of Premium, no card required from them.
The founding gift offer is also 50% off until 3 March 2027: A$12 instead of A$24 for one gifted year.
Australian prices are shown and include tax where applicable. Apple and Google localise prices outside Australia. Cancel anytime — your paid access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Premium access follows the OpenScripture account you were signed into when you purchased. Manage or cancel billing with the original provider — Apple, Google Play, or the OpenScripture website — and do not purchase again on another platform.
The founding offer is about 50% off the first paid year: exact 50% on web (A$12) and Google Play (currently A$12.50 in Australia), and Apple's closest local price point (currently A$12.99 in Australia). It then renews at the provider's regular annual price unless cancelled.
Everyone with an account receives free Premium automatically until 3 March 2027 after signing in. Prices and features may change ahead of the public launch.

Frequently asked
Is the Bible text behind a paywall?
No. All reader-visible translations, source-language study tools where data exists, cross-references, and commentary are part of the Free tier. Premium adds personalisation depth and broader offline study tools, not access to Scripture itself.
Can I try Premium first?
Everyone with an account receives free Premium automatically until 3 March 2027 after signing in. After launch, the App Store listing will state any introductory offer that applies in your region at the time of purchase.
If Premium is free until 3 March 2027, why subscribe now?
Premium is free for everyone until 3 March 2027, so subscribing now is about price, not access. The founding offer is about 50% off the first paid year. Web and Google Play apply an exact 50% discount: A$12 on web and currently A$12.50 in the Australian Google Play storefront. Apple uses its closest available price point, currently A$12.99 in Australia. On web nothing is charged until the free period ends; in the App Store or Google Play the charge is taken now, which supports the project and locks in your founding price. Each subscription then renews at the regular annual price shown by its provider.
Can I gift OpenScripture Premium?
Yes — buy a year of Premium at app.openscripture.io/gift and the recipient redeems the code at app.openscripture.io/redeem.
How do I cancel?
Manage an Apple purchase from Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions, a Google Play purchase from Play Store → Payments & subscriptions, or a web purchase from your OpenScripture account. After cancelling, Premium remains active until the end of the current billing period — you are not charged again.
Do you offer refunds?
App Store and Google Play purchases are subject to their store refund policies. For web purchases, contact hello@openscripture.io.
