Note

This guide is for Paprika 4. Switch to the Paprika 3 guide.

Paprika is now free to download on all platforms and you no longer have to purchase each version separately. Instead, your subscription gives you full access to all versions of Paprika on all devices. Family members also share their account owner's subscription and don't need to subscribe separately.
