Where Thoth shows what needs Pro
A Pro feature carries a Pro badge in the app. Choosing it explains what it does and what plan it needs; nothing is switched on or charged by clicking.
If Pro ends#
Your guides stay on your PC and everything in Free keeps working. Pro features turn off when your key runs out, and nothing is deleted: pages you published stay where they are, and the Free plan can open and restore the three newest versions of a guide. Licenses and computers explains exactly when Pro ends.
