## Questions about buying

### How much does it cost?

The regular price is $39 for one Mac. The launch price started at $5 for the first 1,000 licenses and rises in steps as they sell, up to the regular $39. The pricing card shows the price today, how many are left at it, and what it goes to next. It is one payment, not a subscription. The count comes from our licensing server, so it is the real number.

### Do I pay again for updates?

No. Every update is included for life. There are no paid upgrades and no renewal.

### What is coming next?

The roadmap at vitalsmac.com/roadmap lists it in order: Ask Vitals, questions in plain words answered on your Mac; a storage map of what takes your disk space; safe cleanup of caches and old build files; disk activity for each connected drive; and desktop widgets. It also says what comes later and what was asked for and won’t be built. There are no dates, and all of it is included in the one payment.

### How many Macs can I use it on?

As many as you pay for. One license covers one Mac. For more, pick a pack of 2, 5, 10 or 25 Macs on the pricing card. You get one license key that works on that many Macs, and each Mac costs less as the pack gets bigger: $25 for 2, down to about $8 a Mac in the pack of 25. Move a license to a new Mac whenever you like, with no account and no email to support.

### How does the 50% back offer work?

Buy Vitals, post about it on X, Threads, Reels, TikTok or Shorts, and email us the link. At 5,000 views we refund half of what you paid, and at 20,000 views we refund all of it. On X and Threads it takes 10,000 and 50,000 views. You keep your license. The cash back page has the rules.

### Is there a student or teacher discount?

Yes, half price, for students, teachers and school staff. Email hi@vitalsmac.com from your school email address and we reply with a one-use code for one Mac. The details are at vitalsmac.com/education.

### Is there a free trial?

No, but there is a 14-day refund. If Vitals is not for you, email us and we refund the payment.

### How do I get the app after paying?

The download link is on the page you land on after checkout. Your license key arrives by email within a minute. If you lose either, enter your key on the download page to get the link again.

### Why is it not on the Mac App Store?

The App Store sandbox stops an app from reading other apps' processes, which is the one thing an activity monitor has to do. Vitals is signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other app.
