Pro is available as a one-time Lifetime purchase with no subscription. Apple shows the localized one-time price and currency before purchase. FermentRise provides planning and journaling only, not food-safety guidance. It never recommends safe times, temperatures or consumption. Follow reliable food-safety guidance and discard food you believe is unsafe.
