FerryTermEverything is free. Only Sync will cost money.
The terminal, tab groups, the Files panel, editing with save-back and persistent sessions are free, with no account. Later you will pay only for FerryTerm Sync: an end-to-end encrypted way to have your favourite hosts, theme and tabs on every Mac you sign in on.
Sync is free during the preview. It works now, and you can sign in and use it from Settings in the app. Paid plans start later, and until then nothing can be bought: the prices below are the plan, and the buttons stay disabled.
Sync prices, from when paid plans start
| Plan | Price | Who gets it | Places left |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early | $12 / year | The first 1,000 yearly subscribers | |
| Second wave | $24 / year | Yearly subscribers 1,001 to 6,000 | |
| Standard | $36 / year | Every yearly subscriber after 6,000 | |
| Lifetime | $200 once | Anyone, at any time. No yearly fee. | Not counted |
Prices are net. VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where it applies. Yearly plans are billed annually; there is no monthly plan.
The rules, in plain language
- You keep your price. The price you subscribe at is yours to keep, and each renewal stays at that price, as long as your subscription is active.
- Your place is decided by order. Tiers follow the order of first paid yearly subscriptions: places 1 to 1,000 pay $12, places 1,001 to 6,000 pay $24, everyone after pays $36. The website and the app show the current tier and how many places are left.
- Lifetime has no renewals. Lifetime members get sync for as long as FerryTerm Sync runs.
- Cancelling ends the membership and the price. If you cancel or let a subscription lapse, you lose your membership and your price. Coming back means subscribing again at whichever tier is current then. A deliberate cancel keeps sync until the end of the year you already paid for.
- Lifetime does not use up cheap places. Lifetime purchases do not count toward the 1,000 and 5,000 places; only yearly subscriptions do.
- Places never come back. The place counter only grows. When a subscription is cancelled its place does not return to the pool, so the cheap tiers sell out for good.
- 14-day refund. Ask within 14 days of a purchase or a renewal and you get a full refund.
- 14 days of grace if a renewal fails. If a renewal payment fails, for example because a card expired, sync keeps working for 14 days. We e-mail you when the payment fails, shortly before the grace period ends, and if the membership ends. If it is not fixed in time, the cancelled-membership rule above applies.
What stays free
Nothing local is ever paywalled: the terminal, tab groups, persistent sessions, the Files panel and editing remote files all work without an account.
