FAQ

How much does Yaps cost?

Yaps offers two plans. Free is $0/forever on Android, iPhone, and iPad, with voice typing, voice notes, and read-aloud running on-device and no account needed.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Yaps app settings under Account > Subscription. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period.
