What a free plan includes, and what it holds back
Free plans are real, not trials, and for many creators they are enough. What differs is what each tool keeps for its paid tiers. The usual candidates:
- Design: your own fonts, layouts, backgrounds and colors.
- Branding: the tool's logo or badge on your page.
- Analytics: how far beyond a view count the numbers go.
- Selling: storefronts, and the fee taken on each sale.
- Extras: custom domains, scheduling, email capture and team seats.
Read the free plan for what you would actually use. A free plan with analytics you check every week is worth more than a paid one full of features you never open.
Monthly, yearly or once
Most paid plans are subscriptions. Many show a monthly price that only applies if you pay for a year up front, and charge more month to month. A small monthly price adds up, which is easiest to see over a few years.
| Billing | Per year | Over three years |
|---|---|---|
| 5 a month | 60 | 180 |
| 10 a month | 120 | 360 |
| 20 a year | 20 | 60 |
| Once, like Noiz Premium at €4.99 | €4.99 in the first year | €4.99 in total |
A subscription is not a bad deal if you use what it pays for: a store, a scheduler or a team plan is worth a monthly fee to the people who need it. It is a bad deal when you are paying every month mainly to change your font.

Why Noiz charges once
Because a page you have designed should not stop working when a payment fails. Noiz Premium is €4.99 once, incl. VAT, with no renewal and no card kept on file. Improvements and new Premium features arrive on your account at no extra cost. The one limit is written into the terms: a substantially new product sold on its own would be priced separately.
What the free plan already includes surprises people: unlimited links, sections and scheduling, the full analytics dashboard, importing your links from another tool, a share button and a QR code, and no Noiz badge on your page. Noiz Premium lists what the payment adds, and pricing compares the two plans line by line.
A one-time price also has limits worth stating. Noiz does not do everything the subscription tools do, and these are the gaps:
- Connect a domain you own, on the roadmap, not built
- Sell products, courses or downloads
- Send newsletters, or run an email list
- Schedule social posts, or reply to DMs
- Produce a media kit for brand deals
- Add advertising pixels, Google Analytics or lead forms to your page
Refunds and cancellations
There is nothing to cancel on a one-time purchase, because nothing renews. If Premium is not for you, Noiz offers a voluntary refund within 14 days, separate from your statutory right to withdraw. The refund policy is the binding version, and billing explains what the charge looks like on your statement.

- New Premium features and improvements arrive on your account at no extra cost. Only a substantially new product, sold on its own, would be priced separately.
