Is MemeScanr free?
Yes — MemeScanr has a generous free tier. You can download the app, run unlimited scans, see every duplicate, screenshot, meme, blurry shot, and app download in your library, and delete a limited number of items per session at no cost. Backroom private vault includes a 7-day free trial that starts the first time you move a photo into it. MemeScanr Premium is an optional monthly subscription that unlocks unlimited cleanup, Memory Lane streaks, unlimited Backroom access, Boost compression, and removes ads.
What the free tier includes
Free users get the core value of MemeScanr: detection. You can scan your entire library as often as you want, see every cleanup category (duplicates, screenshots, memes, blurry, downloads), preview every result, and delete a capped number of items per session. The per-session cap resets after 24 hours, so committed free users can still make meaningful progress over time.

How much does Premium cost?
Premium is priced as a monthly subscription. The exact price varies by App Store region — check the in-app Premium screen to see what you'll be charged in your local currency. New users get a free trial before the first charge.
Does Backroom have a free trial?
Yes. Backroom private vault includes a 7-day free trial that starts the first time you actually move a photo into the vault — not when you tap the tab. For those 7 days you get unlimited Backroom access: move in as many items as you want, use Face ID lock, decoy mode, and every feature Premium users have.
After day 7, Backroom enters a 30-day grace period. During grace, you can still view your vaulted items and remove them, but you can't add new photos without upgrading to Premium. A banner at the top of the Backroom tab counts down the grace days left.
After day 37 total (7 trial + 30 grace), the vault becomes read-only for non-Premium users — items stay safely on your device but are hidden until you upgrade. Upgrading to Premium at any point instantly restores full access to everything you've vaulted.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel any time through iPhone Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → MemeScanr. Cancellation stops renewal at the end of the current billing period. You keep Premium features until the end of what you already paid for.
