Generation runs on our servers, so lifetime carries a fair-use monthly cap rather than unlimited usage. A working author never reaches it.

Questions about billing
What counts as a puzzle generation?
One generated puzzle page. Generating a 50-puzzle set uses 50. Editing, re-laying out, or re-exporting a puzzle you already generated costs nothing — exports never touch your generation count.
What happens when I reach my monthly limit?
Nothing you've already made is locked. You keep editing and exporting everything in your projects; only new generation pauses until the limit resets at the start of the next calendar month (UTC). Free-plan exports keep working too — they're watermarked rather than blocked.
How does upgrading work mid-month?
Upgrades take effect immediately, and we show you the exact prorated amount before you confirm — you're credited for the unused time on your current plan. Your higher limit is available as soon as the payment clears.
And downgrading?
Downgrades are scheduled for the end of your current billing period, so you keep what you've already paid for. Nothing is charged when you schedule it, and you can switch back before it takes effect.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from your billing page — no email required. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, and your projects stay in your account.
Is there a refund policy?
There's a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first payment. If SmartKDP isn't right for you, ask within 7 days and we'll refund it.
Who am I actually paying?
Lemon Squeezy is our merchant of record. They take the payment, calculate and remit any sales tax or VAT for your country, and issue your receipt — so your statement shows Lemon Squeezy alongside SmartKDP. You can pay by card or PayPal.
Do annual plans really give two months free?
Yes — an annual plan costs the same as ten monthly payments, so you pay for ten months and get twelve.
