No Free Version is Cruel
The target audience for this is people in abusive relationships. Abuse often includes financial control, yet these people are supposed to fork over $30 every single month on autopay. This makes it unattainable for people who need it most and even potentially dangerous for those who desperately try to get it anyway and may get caught due to charges.
I understand apps cost money, but I’m sure there could be a free version or at least a free trial before risking something like this.

Response from developer
Financial control is a form of coercive control, and it’s exactly why I built StayGone at a fraction of what a forensic investigation costs. I provide free subscriptions to domestic violence nonprofit organizations for the women they help. I have a free version of the safety audit: safety.apomarchives.com. App Store charges appear on bank statements as Apple, not as StayGone. There is an added security feature within the app, and the user's data is protected. I share free tips and resources in my content, including my metadata tool, Clean Copy, which is free and secure: apomarchives.com/clean-copy. No one should be priced out of protecting herself.
