    How to subscribe

    Subscribing means that you’ll be able to continue progressing as you have been in NativShark. It gives you access to all the lessons, dialogues, custom flashcards, and other features such as review sets, after your free trial runs out.

    How do I subscribe?

    First, we'll have to go to the pricing and subscription page. 

    While you can click on the link above, you can also follow these steps to get to it: If you're not subscribed, you’ll see a button in the banner at the top of the page that brings you directly to your subscription options, called manage subscriptions.   

    You can also click on your name in the top right (or the hamburger menu with three lines on mobile), click on settings:

    ...and then click on subscriptions. (This is also in a hamburger three-line menu if you're on mobile). 

    ❗️
    If you subscribe before your free trial runs out, your subscription will begin immediately and will overwrite your remaining free trial.

    Once you’re on the subscription page, you’ll see three options:

    • Monthly will renew… well, monthly. We recommend this when you’re kind of on the edge and want to see more of the system before making a big purchase.
    • Yearly will… also renew yearly, and is significantly discounted when compared to the monthly plan. This is the best bang for your buck and is billed annually.
    • Supporter is a one-time payment that gets you access to NativShark forever. It’s mainly designed as a way to show support for what we’re building while still getting something in return.
    ❗️
    We are forever grateful if you decide to purchase Supporter, but we generally recommend people use the yearly option as this option is designed to show support for the team as we attempt to build the best way to learn Japanese out there. It is not for being cost-effective.

    Once you’ve chosen your subscription, click on Start Plan and you’ll be able to enter your payment information there and get on with your studies.

    If you have a coupon, you can enter it at the bottom:

    Thanks for subscribing! If you’re so inclined, we’d love to say hi to you in our community. The study journey is better together ^^
