Pricing questions
- Is the dictionary free?
- Yes. Dictionary searches, definitions, simple meanings, pronunciation, synonyms, antonyms, examples and common combinations are free, with no account required.
- What does Vocabaura+ include?
- Everything in Free, plus the AI-powered tools: Ask Vocabaura (including a larger set of example sentences), Reading+, Find My Word+, Context+, advanced examples and advanced pronunciation tools, and 150 AI Credits of usage included every month. It also unlocks the full 28-lesson Learn to Type course, adaptive typing drills, typing Smart Review and advanced progress, and it is ad-free. Smart Speed, typing tests and lessons 1 to 5 stay free.
- Do AI tools use credits?
- AI tools are the only actions that use AI Credits, and the cost is always shown before you submit. Vocabaura+ members spend their included monthly allowance first; everyone else pays as they go with purchased credits. Credits are only deducted when a request returns a valid result, failed requests are refunded automatically.
- How do the monthly allowance and purchased credits work together?
- They are two separate balances. Your Vocabaura+ membership includes 150 AI Credits of usage each month, and that allowance is always spent first. If you use it all before your renewal date, any purchased AI Credits take over automatically so nothing stops working.
- Does my unused monthly allowance roll over?
- No. The included allowance resets at the start of each billing cycle and unused usage does not carry over. Purchased AI Credits are different, they never expire.
- What happens when I run out of AI credits?
- Nothing else changes. The dictionary, Daily 5, saved words, flashcards, quizzes, Mastery, Word Review, Real-World Practice, Learn and your Vocabulary Packs all keep working. Only the AI tools pause until you top up or join Vocabaura+.
- Are Vocabulary Packs subscriptions?
- No. Each pack is a one-time purchase of $6.99 and is added to your account, with lifetime access.
- Do I need Vocabaura+ to buy a Vocabulary Pack?
- No. Packs are sold separately and their learning features work without a Vocabaura+ membership.
- Can I cancel Vocabaura+?
- Yes, at any time. Your membership, and its included AI allowance, stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, then stops renewing. Any AI Credits you purchased stay on your account and keep working.
- What happens to my Saved Words if I cancel?
- They stay in your account, along with your learning progress and mastery history. Cancelling only removes access to the Vocabaura+ tools.
- Do purchased Vocabulary Packs remain available after cancellation?
- Yes. Pack purchases are one-time and are not affected by your Vocabaura+ status.
- Do AI Credits expire?
- No. Purchased credits do not expire. They stay on your account if you join Vocabaura+, and are only used once your included monthly allowance runs out.
