Subscription or one‑time purchase — what fits better?

Both options protect your data the same — you only decide how you want to pay.

Subscription

  • Great if you want to start flexibly or you’re still unsure.
  • Smaller amounts — depending on the offer, monthly or yearly — and you stay flexible.
  • Managed via your Apple ID (subscriptions in the App Store).

One‑time purchase

  • Great if you plan long-term and want to pay once.
  • No recurring costs.
  • A good fit if you already know you want to archive long-term.

Activate on additional devices (Restore Purchase)

You can use SimpleumSafe on up to 5 additional devices. For example, if you bought SimpleumSafe 3 for iOS, you can also use it on your iPad.

How to do it:

  1. Install and open SimpleumSafe on the additional device.
  2. In the purchase dialog, select “Restore Purchase”.
  3. The device will be activated (same idea for SimpleumSafe for Mac).

Questions and answers

Yes, SimpleumSafe 3 supports Family Sharing for certain subscriptions and one‑time purchases.

Make sure you choose the appropriate product. One‑time purchases generally include Family Sharing.

More about Family Sharing (Apple)

Apple grants education discounts to schools in the App Store. Please contact your school and ask whether they participate in Apple’s volume purchase program and how you can take part.

Want to equip a school? We offer a special version that can be purchased via Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager. We can also connect you with schools that have already implemented this.

You can continue using the previous app.

However, it is no longer being developed or supported. With new iOS or macOS versions, the app (or individual features) may stop working or only work in a limited way.

If you want to switch from Safe 2 to Safe 3: Upgrade Safe 2 → Safe 3

When you start SimpleumSafe 3 and see the paywall (e.g. after your subscription ends), the app switches to read‑only mode.

- You can open your Safes, view files, or export them.
- You can’t create new Safes or import new files into a Safe.
- You can export your files at any time.

The one‑time purchase is valid for the generation of the app you bought it for. You may need to buy an upgrade when a new generation is released.

E.g. SimpleumSafe 3 starting on 2023‑05‑08 (Generation 3)
We use the term “generation” on purpose — the version number can increase within a generation without requiring another one‑time purchase.

We recommend trying SimpleumSafe before purchasing to see whether it fits your workflow. If you have questions, you can contact our support team.

If you don’t like SimpleumSafe after purchasing, you must ask Apple for a refund, since Apple processes all App Store transactions. We don’t process your purchase, so we can’t issue refunds ourselves.

Only Apple has access to the purchase information linked to your Apple ID. To protect your privacy, this data isn’t shared with developers.
