All remaining features not otherwise listed above are available to all users on all plans.
Click in the left sidebar — or choose Help -> Unlock Premium in the menu bar — to open the purchase dialog. On Windows, Paprika 4 Premium is purchased on our website: your web browser will open to a checkout page on paprikaapp.com, where the price for your region is always shown before you subscribe. Payment is taken securely by our payment provider, which also sends your receipt.
Your subscription covers all platforms. Once you have subscribed, you can log in to your Paprika account on any device to unlock all premium features.
If you've never had Premium, the purchase dialog shows , which starts a 1-week free trial. A payment card is required, but you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel at any time before then to pay nothing. You'll get an email confirming the trial and the date of your first payment.
The free trial is available once per account. If your account has had Premium before, on any device, the purchase dialog shows instead, which subscribes straight away.
You can also start a free trial from our website at paprikaapp.com/trial: enter your email address and we'll email you a link to start it.
The checkout page is for your Paprika account. Once you've subscribed, return to Paprika and premium features unlock automatically. If they don't, click the Refresh link on the purchase dialog.
Clicking opens the free trial page on our website, which asks for your email address. After subscribing, we'll email you to set up your Paprika account, or add the subscription to your existing account if you already have one with that email address. Then log in to your Paprika account in Paprika (click on the purchase dialog, or use the Account tab in Settings), and premium features unlock automatically.
If you already have a Paprika account, it's easiest to log in first, so that the subscription is added to it straight away.
If you purchased Paprika 3 for Windows, you receive a discounted price, with or without the free trial. The discount belongs to the Paprika account your license key is linked to, so if you've entered your license key but aren't logged in, Paprika asks you to log in or sign up before opening the checkout page.
If you purchased Paprika 3 for Windows, enter your license key to receive the standard version: open the purchase dialog (click in the left sidebar) and click . Your license is activated for this computer.
If you would like to move your license to a different computer, choose Help -> Deactivate in the menu bar first — this frees up the activation so you can enter the key on the new machine.
