TL;DR: Timestripe has a free Basic plan with limits, and one paid plan, Pro, sold three ways: $19 a month, $108 a year (shown as $9 a month), or the Strategists' plan at $390 for five years (shown as $7 a month). New accounts get a 3-day free trial, or 20% off if you skip it. Refunds cover the first 30 days on yearly plans.
Timestripe (timestripe.com) is a goal planner built around time horizons: you place goals in a day, a week, a month, a year or your whole life, and zoom between them. We created a Timestripe account on October 28, 2026, went through its onboarding, added a few goals for the day, and opened every paid option from the app to see what each one charges. Every screenshot is ours.
How much does Timestripe cost?
| Plan | Shown as | You pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | $0 | Limits on goals, boards, lists and storage |
| Pro, monthly | $19 a month | $19 each month | |
| Pro, yearly | $9 a month | $108 a year | Saves $120 a year against monthly |
| Pro, Strategists' plan | $7 a month | $390 for 5 years | Works out to $78 a year |
The per-month figures are averages. Each plan is billed for its whole period at once, so the yearly plan is $108 up front, and the Strategists' plan is $390 up front for five years. We read those totals from the checkout links the app opened for each plan.
The Strategists' plan: five years paid at once
The cheapest-looking option, "$7 a month", is a five-year commitment paid in one go: $390. That's about $6.50 a month, rounded up to $7 on the card.
| Plan | Up front | Per year | Over five years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $19 | $228 | $1,140 |
| Yearly | $108 | $108 | $540 |
| Strategists' | $390 | $78 | $390 |
It's the best price if you're sure you'll use Timestripe for five years. If you're not, the yearly plan costs $282 less up front.
Free trial, or 20% off instead
Timestripe's paywall opens as soon as you finish onboarding. You have two ways in:
- Start a 3-day free trial of the plan you picked.
- Skip the trial and get 20% off, which brings the plans to $15.20 a month, $86.40 a year or $312 for five years.
Both options go to a checkout run by PayPro Global, a payment company that sells software on Timestripe's behalf. We couldn't open that page: it sits behind a human check. So we can't show what's charged on day one of the trial, only the plan prices the app sends to checkout.
You can also close the paywall and stay on Basic.
What you get free, and what Pro unlocks
| Basic (free) | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Goals, tasks and notes | 5 per horizon, 10 per board list | Unlimited |
| Boards | 3 custom boards | Unlimited |
| Lists | 3 per board | Unlimited |
| Climbs (step-by-step guides) | 1 at a time | Unlimited |

"5 per horizon" is the limit that matters day to day: five items in Today, five this week, five this month, and so on. Everyone gets sync across devices, multiple spaces, calendar, comments, tags and dark mode.
Here's our free account after onboarding, with three goals for the day under Timestripe's starter checklist:
Prices in other currencies
The pricing page has a currency switch. Timestripe sets each currency separately:
| Currency | Monthly | Yearly (per month) | Strategists' (per month) |
|---|---|---|---|
| US dollars | $19 | $9 | $7 |
| Euros | €16 | €8 | €6 |
| Pounds | £15 | £7 | £5 |
Lifetime, refunds and discounts
Timestripe's FAQ covers the rest:
- Lifetime access exists, but it isn't on the price list. Timestripe's FAQ says to go through checkout and email the receipt to info@timestripe.com to be upgraded. It doesn't say which plan or what price.
- Refunds: a 30-day money-back guarantee for quarterly and yearly plans. Monthly isn't mentioned. There's no quarterly plan on the page today.
- Discounts: post about Timestripe on social media for a discount, or share your referral link. Friends get 30% off and you get 30 days of Pro free for each subscriber.
- Cancelling: turn off automatic renewal in Settings. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
- After Pro ends: everything you made stays available and editable, but Basic limits apply to anything new.
- Payment: through PayPro Global or Cloud Payments.
What reviewers say
Timestripe's US App Store listing showed 4.5 out of 5 from 124 ratings when we checked.
Reviewers like planning by week or month instead of exact dates:
"I like to assign tasks to a week or month (rather than a specific day), and Timestripe lets me do this 'right out of the box'!" Amanda Dills, App Store, March 2024
"I have not seen a planner app yet that has this specific feature set I have been looking for and is this cleanly designed and easy to use." Jcharm, App Store, June 2024
The criticisms are about speed and connections to other apps:
"While there at times is a little lag when trying to organize too much at once, overall it is very responsive and reactive." _powerofaction_, App Store, June 2023
Is Timestripe worth it?
At $108 a year, Timestripe Pro costs about twice as much as Griply and half as much as Akiflow.
Pick Timestripe if:
- You plan by week, month and year, not only by date
- You like long-range planning: Timestripe even has a "Life" horizon
- You'll stay for years: the Strategists' plan brings it to $78 a year
Skip it if:
- Five items per horizon is enough for you: Basic may be all you need
- You want integrations with other apps
- You'd rather not pay a year or five years up front
Other planners worth a look
| If you want… | Look at | What it does well |

| Tasks, calendar and notes, with a free plan | Routine | Free to start, with paid plans from $8 a month |
| A guided daily planning ritual | Sunsama | Walks you through each day, with a 14-day trial and no card |

Dayplan is our product. Where most planners make room for one more task, Dayplan's Coach helps you plan a day you can finish: three must-dos, a warning when the plan outgrows your hours, and breaks built in. See how the Coach works.

How we checked
On October 28, 2026 we read Timestripe's pricing page and FAQ in each currency and saved a screenshot and the text of each. We created a Timestripe account with an email and password, went through the onboarding, and added three goals for today. From the paywall, we opened the trial and skip-trial checkout for each plan and read the amount each one sent to PayPro Global's checkout; the checkout page itself sits behind a human check, so we didn't see it. App Store ratings are from the US listing the same day. Prices change, so if you spot a difference, email us and we'll update this page.
