Pricing questions
What counts as an "AI action"?
Each time you ask the AI tutor a question or generate a study set, that's one AI action against your monthly allowance. Handwriting, annotation and flashcard review themselves aren't metered.
What happens when I run out of AI actions?
The rest of the app keeps working — you just wait for your monthly allowance to reset, or upgrade for a bigger one.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
In your iPad's Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from inside the app. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Is there a student discount?
PolyNotes is already priced for students, and the Free plan is genuinely useful on its own.
