Loopa Premium is sold in two shapes.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
+ | Loopa Premium | $12.99 | $69.99 | One person |
+ | Loopa Premium Family | $19.99 | $119.99 | Up to six people |
− | Loopa Premium | $12.99 | $59.99 | One person |
− | Loopa Premium Family | $19.99 | $99.99 | Up to six people |
+ Both plans are the same app. Loopa Premium Family is not a bigger version of
+ Premium. It is the same Premium, for more people.
− Every new account starts with 14 days of full Loopa Premium before choosing either one. See
− [[your-first-14-days|Your first 14 days]].
−
− **Launch price.** Until January 23, 2027, the yearly plans are $39.99 for Loopa Premium
− and $69.99 for Loopa Premium Family. Subscribe at the launch price and you keep it for as
− long as you stay subscribed.
−
− Both plans are the same app. Loopa Premium Family is the same Premium, for more
− people.
−
− Prices are US dollars and exclude tax. In other countries the App Store or Google
− Play charges the equivalent local price it sets, which is not a straight currency
− conversion. The price on the screen when you buy is the price that applies.
## What the family plan adds
- **Premium for up to six people**, through a Loopa Family Group. The organizer
invites up to five others; each of them gets the full app.
- **It works on Android.** A Loopa Family Group is ours rather than a store
feature, which is why it reaches an Android phone.
- **The shared pantry**, so the household's meal plans and shopping lists come
out of one cupboard.
+ At six people, $119.99 a year works out at about $20.00 each.
− At six people, $99.99 a year is about $1.39 a person a month.
−
− **Apple Family Sharing is not used and is switched off on every Loopa plan.** The
− Family Group is the only way Premium is shared, and it is deliberate: Apple's own
− sharing has never reached an Android phone, and a household is rarely all on one
− kind of phone. See [[Family group overview|Loopa Family Group: what it is]].
## What the single-person plan does
Everything Premium does, for you. It does not extend to a Family Group. You can
still create a group and share the pantry with it. Only Premium stops at you.
−
− ## Everyone in a group needs their own account, and must be 18
−
− Loopa is an adults-only service. Every member of a Family Group signs in with
− their own Loopa account, and every one of them must be 18 or older. The group
− does not create accounts for anyone and cannot cover a child. See
− [https://loopa.mobieus.io/know/who-can-use-loopa Who can use Loopa].
−
− Each account keeps its own private data. Being in a group does not give the
− organizer, or anyone else, sight of another member's food log, weight, vitals,
− photos, medications or messages. See
− [[Family group what is shared|What a family group shares, and what it never shares]].
−
− ## If you already subscribe
−
− You keep the plan you have and the price you pay. To move to a different plan, change it in
− the App Store or Google Play.
−
− ## Changing plans
−
− Moving up (monthly to yearly, or single to family) takes effect straight away,
− and the store credits the time you have already paid for. Moving down takes effect
− at your next renewal, so you keep what you paid for until then.
## If you were already a member before 16 August 2026
**Your coverage does not change, and it cannot be taken back.**
Before that date there was one Premium plan, and it was sold as covering up to
six people. Everyone holding an active subscription on the day the plans split
keeps that: your existing subscription still covers your Family Group, at the
price you are already paying, for as long as you keep it. Renewals do not
change it.
You do not need to do anything, and you do not need to buy the family plan to
keep what you already have.
+
+ ## Changing plans
+
+ **From Premium to Premium Family** takes effect immediately. On iPhone, Apple
+ credits the unused part of your current plan and charges the difference. On
+ Android, Google Play converts the time you have already paid for into time on
+ the new plan, so nothing is charged that day and your renewal date moves to
+ match.
+
+ **From monthly to yearly**, within either plan, takes effect at your next
+ renewal date. Your current month is not cut short and not credited: you keep
+ every day you have paid for, and the year starts when it ends.
+
+ **From Premium Family back to Premium** takes effect at your next renewal, so
+ your household keeps the coverage it was promised until the period you paid for
+ actually ends.
+
+ All of this is handled by the App Store or Google Play. Manage or cancel a
+ subscription there: **Settings > your name > Subscriptions** on iPhone, or
+ **Play Store > Subscriptions** on Android.
+ ## The limits, said plainly
− ## See also
+ - **Six is a real ceiling**, and pending invitations count against it until they
+ are accepted or expire.
+ - **Apple Family Sharing is switched off on every Loopa product** and stays off.
+ A Loopa Family Group is the only route by which Premium reaches another person,
+ which is what lets it cover an Android phone.
+ - **The single-person plan does not propagate**, however many people are in
+ your group.
+ - **Everyone in a group needs their own Loopa account and must be 18 or older.**
+ The group creates no accounts and cannot cover a child.

Loopa Premium is sold in two shapes.

Plan Monthly Yearly Covers
Loopa Premium $12.99 $69.99 One person
Loopa Premium Family $19.99 $119.99 Up to six people

Both plans are the same app. Loopa Premium Family is not a bigger version of Premium. It is the same Premium, for more people.

What the family plan adds

  • Premium for up to six people, through a Loopa Family Group. The organizer invites up to five others; each of them gets the full app.
  • It works on Android. A Loopa Family Group is ours rather than a store feature, which is why it reaches an Android phone.
  • The shared pantry, so the household's meal plans and shopping lists come out of one cupboard.

At six people, $119.99 a year works out at about $20.00 each.
