Premium pricing: $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year, both with a 3-day free trial.

The 3-day free trial converts to a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before it ends. You can cancel at any time through your Apple or Google account settings with no charge.
Subscription renewals are handled automatically by Apple or Google according to their respective billing terms. Refunds are governed by the App Store or Google Play refund policies. StreamBean does not have access to your store billing information and cannot issue refunds directly.
