Free is enough to stay hydrated.
Pro is for people who want to understand why they forget.
Free tells you if you drank enough today. Pro tells you if you're actually becoming someone who does.
What changes with Pro
Free solves the core problem: remembering to drink. Pro is for people who want more depth.

The three features worth talking about
Not feature-list filler. Things that make a real difference once the habit is there.
Drink history + heatmap
Most people think they drink enough water. The heatmap either confirms it or quietly corrects them. You'll see which days you hit your goal consistently, which weeks fell apart, and whether the habit is actually forming — not just whether today was a good day. After a month, you'll know the answer to a question you've been guessing at for years.
Cloud-synced streak
Your streak lives in the cloud, not just the extension on one machine. Work from your home laptop on Monday, your work laptop on Tuesday — the streak doesn't care. It follows you, not the device.
Your setup, remembered
DeskSip's detector adapts to your setup automatically — your camera angle, your lighting, how you hold your bottle. You don't configure anything. With Free, that learned profile lives on one machine. With Pro, it's saved to the cloud and follows you to every device you sign into. When you sit down at a different laptop, DeskSip already knows you.

A few honest answers
Will Pro features ever be added to the free tier?
No. The core detection and nudge loop is free forever — that's not changing. Pro is for people who want history, sync, and deeper control. Those things cost infrastructure to run, so they live in Pro.
What happens to my data if I cancel Pro?
Your history stays on the extension locally. Cloud sync stops — new sips won't back up — but nothing is deleted. Re-subscribe later and it picks back up where you left off.
What exactly syncs to the cloud with Pro?
Only your sip counts, streak, and goal data — never video, never audio, never anything identifiable. The camera still runs entirely on your device. Pro just adds a lightweight sync layer for the numbers.
Is there a free trial?
No — Pro is $4/month, cancel anytime. The free tier is genuinely free forever, so you can use DeskSip fully before deciding to upgrade.
Why $4/month?
Because that's roughly what a bottle of water costs and should be a non-decision for anyone who uses DeskSip daily. We're not VC-funded. $4 covers the infrastructure for history and sync — and keeps the free tier genuinely free.
Ready when you are. Upgrade in seconds — $4/month, cancel anytime.
