Plans and fair use.
Everything you track is free forever, and Kata stays with you at starter volume. Kata Plus and Kata Unlimited give it more room: here is exactly what each plan means, and how buying, renewing and cancelling work.
In every plan
Everything that is your own data and body never goes behind a paywall, by construction: everything you log and every trend it draws, the scanner, your own reminders, backup, export and the secure share, Apple Health, Health Connect and WHOOP, the watch and the widgets, and the picture of your week, every week. No gate in the app can touch them. During the launch phase the Sensei letters are included for everyone too.
Kata Free · everything you track
The core, free forever, with Kata at starter volume: 300 messages a month, around ten real exchanges a day. Kata Free has no Kata voice, no photo analysis in the chat and no written weekly reading; the picture of your week is still yours. See Fair use and limits.
Kata Plus · the daily practice
Kata at daily volume, 500 messages a month, around 16 real exchanges a day, which is more than almost anyone uses. Plus adds Kata voices and Talk (60 voice interactions a month), photo logging in the chat (meals, physique, documents), the reminders Kata sets for you, and the written reading of your week, every week.
Kata Unlimited · the deep practice
Kata at full volume, on fair use. Unlimited adds the deep weekly reading, long form and across every area, the most Kata voices and Talk (400 interactions a month), and the earliest features, first.
Prices
Kata Plus is CHF 19 a month or CHF 149 a year. Kata Unlimited is CHF 39 a month or CHF 299 a year. Yearly is always the wise choice: it works out far cheaper per month. Prices are shown in your currency in the app and on the pricing page (CHF, EUR, USD or SEK), and VAT is included where it applies.
The founders' year
Joining early gets you the founders' offer: Kata Plus at 99 a year instead of 149, and the price stays locked for as long as you stay subscribed. It is sold on the web only and open until Tuesday 1 December 2026, 23:59 Zurich time, and your plan then carries a Founding member mark in the app.
Where you buy
From Monday 16 November you buy on the web, and the payment runs through Stripe. Version 1.0 of the iPhone app is a free launch phase and sells nothing in the app: buying in the iPhone app comes with an update, with Apple as the seller. The first Android version sells nothing in the app either, and buying in Google Play comes with a later one. One account carries one plan, and Kata unlocks the same whichever way you bought. A subscription bought in a store is managed in that store, and Restore purchases in the app brings it back on a new device. Should two subscriptions ever run on one account, the one that reaches further ahead counts and the other is named plainly in your plan area, so nobody pays twice without knowing.
Renewing and cancelling
Paid plans renew automatically for the same period until you cancel, and you cancel wherever you bought: on the web in your billing settings, and for a store purchase, once the stores sell Kata, in your Apple Account subscriptions on iPhone or in Google Play on Android. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep the plan until the end of the period you already paid for. If you let a plan lapse, Kata may make you one return offer, once, and never repeats it.
Covered by your company
Some people get Kata as a benefit. If your employer or insurer covers it, your plan shows as covered in the app while your membership runs: nothing to buy, nothing to renew. A subscription you already pay yourself keeps running until you cancel it; nothing is cancelled for you. How the privacy holds is on Insurers and companies.
Your first month, and choosing a plan
Until Sunday 15 November 2026, 23:59 Zurich time, Kata is free for everyone during the launch phase, with the Plus layer included. From Monday 16 November every account, new or existing, gets 30 days of Kata Plus, no card needed: when it ends, everything you track stays free, Kata continues at starter volume, and you move to a paid plan only if you want more. The 30 days come once per person: a new account opened after one was deleted does not get them again. In the app, Plans opens from your Profile or from Settings, Plans: it names the plan you hold and what no plan takes away, and Compare all three lays the full plans side by side with their prices. Earned invite months are months of Kata Plus, banked and used the moment nothing paid covers you.
