Do HCPs get a free or discounted app?
The Android app comes with a free Starter Plan. This enables you to show patients / clients the basic features of the app. You can try out the full app (Unlimited Plan) with a 2-week free trial, and then start a monthly or yearly subscription if you wish to continue using all the features.
The previous one-off price for the app didn’t cover the huge ongoing development costs, so we took the difficult decision to change to a subscription model. This is the only way to make the app financially sustainable and will allow us to bring you regular updates, continuously adding great new features and expanding the food database.
We consulted with hundreds of app users about pricing, and we have made the yearly subscription cost as affordable as we can. If paying yearly, the price per month is equivalent to 1 cup of takeaway coffee, and compared to other apps in the category the new Carbs & Cals app is around 50% cheaper.
Please make sure you're on the mailing list (by signing up for the free resource mega-pack on the website) and follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and we'll keep you updated if we are able to offer a discount subscription rate or extended free trial for HCPs in future.
The iOS version will be updated soon to match the new Android app, so please see details above.
