Simple, personal fulfillment

How purchasing works.

01

Checkout on Stripe

Choose Core alone or Core + Advanced and complete Stripe-hosted checkout. Core is charged once; if selected, Advanced is a recurring subscription. Use an email address you can access for your receipt and license delivery.

02

We verify your purchase

The NotePulse administrator verifies your payment and, for Advanced, the subscription in Stripe before recording and issuing the appropriate entitlements. A success page does not prove a paid order.

03

Receive and activate

Once processed, your Core key and any eligible Advanced entitlement information are provided via your checkout email. Activate Core in NotePulse and follow the Advanced activation instructions.

Important before you purchase

License fulfillment is manual, not instant. Delivery timing can vary. If you need help with a payment or have not received your key, contact NotePulse support and keep your Stripe receipt available. Never email a full card number.

For existing Core owners

Ready for
Advanced?

Advanced is an optional recurring subscription, not a standalone license. It works only alongside a valid Core license.

If you already own Core, do not purchase the Core + Advanced bundle again. Contact us using your Core purchase email. We will verify your ownership and send a private Advanced-only Stripe subscription link for $9.99/month. Review the price and billing interval in Stripe before paying.

You can cancel Advanced without losing your perpetual Core license. AI provider charges remain separate.

Licensing & billing

Flexibility stays with you.

Core ownership lasts

An expired or canceled Advanced subscription does not revoke an active perpetual Core license. A Core license supports one activated Windows installation and one activated macOS installation, subject to license validation.

Manage Advanced billing

If you subscribe to Advanced through Stripe, use the customer portal if available to update payment details or cancel future renewals. The subscription remains active for the paid-through period unless other applicable terms require otherwise. For billing assistance, contact NotePulse support.
