Yes. The free plan isn’t a trial — it’s a full daily vocabulary habit with unlimited words, practice, streaks, and collections, forever. Pro adds the personalization layer: AI-written context, all practice modes, widgets, and the level test.

Word-of-the-day apps show everyone the same word with the same dictionary sentence. Vernac chooses words for you and writes examples set in your life — then brings them back on a schedule proven to build long-term memory. One informs. The other trains.

Your brain forgets on a predictable curve. Spaced repetition interrupts that curve by reviewing a word right before you’d lose it — first after a day, then days, then weeks. Vernac uses the SM-2 algorithm to time this automatically. You just swipe.

That’s exactly what the test word banks are for. Pick your exam during onboarding and your feed fills with high-frequency test words — in memorable context, on a memory-optimized schedule.

Subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google, not by us. On iOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Android: Play Store → profile → Payments & subscriptions. Canceling keeps Pro active until the end of your billing period.

Sign in with the same Apple ID or Google account, then tap "Restore purchases" in Vernac’s settings.

Visit our account deletion page or delete directly in-app under Settings → Account. Deletion is permanent and removes your data.

Cached words, saved progress, and local practice stay available without a connection. Fresh words, account sync, reminders, and purchase status updates need one.

Short version: personalization and focus. See the full, feature-by-feature breakdown on our comparison pages.

No — Vernac works fully on your device from the first word. Creating an account with your email (no password, just a one-time code) is optional and only needed to keep your progress and Pro status synced if you switch phones or reinstall.
