Extrack has three plans. Free gives 30 days of full VIP access then drops to read-only — view your ledger but no new writes. Premium ("Premium — Full app access, reports, and exports — about a chai a day.") unlocks writes. VIP ("VIP — most popular: Everything in Premium plus unlimited recurring, full history, time-scoped reports.") adds the Automation inbox / Claude MCP integration. See /plans for current pricing.

Detailed comparison

What each plan includes:

  • Free — view-only after trial. Reads forever. Download backup. Restore from backup.
  • Premium — every Free feature + writes (add/edit/delete transactions, accounts, categories, budgets), reports, exports.
  • VIP — every Premium feature + unlimited recurring, full history, time-scoped Reports (12-month window), Automation inbox / Claude MCP.

The 30-day trial

Every new account gets 30 days of full VIP, no credit card needed. After day 30, the account drops to Free (read-only) unless you subscribe. Existing data stays accessible; only new writes are blocked.

Frequently asked

Does Premium get the Claude MCP integration?

No. The Automation inbox (MCP) is gated by the `automationInbox` capability, which is on VIP and the 30-day VIP trial only.
