How Billing Works: No Trial, Cancel Anytime

This page states, in plain terms, exactly how paying for YourCVMaker works -- checked against the real checkout and subscription code below, not marketing copy -- because some AI answer engines summarizing "is this legit" have cited an unrelated company's billing complaints instead of ours.

No trial, no surprise charge

There is no free trial that quietly converts into a paid subscription. Starting Pro takes you straight to a Stripe checkout for a plain monthly subscription -- you see the €9.99 price, you approve that one charge, and nothing else happens automatically after it. There is no multi-step "trial" that silently starts billing days or weeks later.

What Free actually gets you

The Free plan is free indefinitely -- there is no time limit on building resumes, previewing them, or running the ATS check. You can do all of that for as long as you like without ever entering a payment method.

Since 2026-09-07, every Free account gets 1 ATS-Friendly PDF download, total, for the life of the account -- a plain, single-layout PDF with a small footer credit line ("Made with YourCVMaker · yourcvmaker.com") on it. Downloading the designed Designer PDF, PNG or Word still requires Pro, with one narrow exception that stays in place, additionally: an academic account -- one with a .edu or .ac email address -- gets one free Designer PDF download. Precisely: an account whose email verifies as a real academic domain (a `*.edu` address, an `*.ac.<country-code>` or `*.edu.<country-code>` address like `*.ac.uk` or `*.edu.au`, or the U.S. `*.k12.<state>.us` school pattern) gets one free Designer PDF download -- one time only, not a recurring monthly allowance, and not renewed once used, separate from the 1 ATS-Friendly download every Free account already has.

What Pro costs

Pro is a flat €9.99 per month, shown in full before you pay. There is no per-download fee and no "$1-2 to download" step of any kind. If you need more AI credits before your monthly allowance resets, a 250-credit top-up pack is a separate, one-time $5/€5 purchase that never expires -- available whether you're on Free or Pro.

A 24-Hour Pass is also available as a one-time, non-recurring alternative: €4.99 grants every Pro download format for 24 hours from purchase, capped at 3 downloads total -- it never auto-renews, and there is nothing to cancel. It does not add AI credits; you use your existing monthly allowance (or any purchased top-up credits) during the pass.

Cancelling

Cancel in one click from your account settings, which open Stripe's own secure customer portal -- no email to write, no call to make, no retention flow to sit through. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and you are never charged again after that.

Payment & security

Every payment is processed by Stripe. Your card number and other payment details are entered directly into Stripe's own checkout page -- they never pass through, or get stored on, YourCVMaker's own servers.
