Is there a free tier available?

Yes. The free tier includes 1 active bundle, up to 5 MB per file (10 MB per bundle), and a 7-day expiry window. It includes full client-side AES-256-GCM encryption and password protection. No credit card is required to get started.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) as well as PayPal through our payment provider Polar. For lifetime purchases, the same payment methods apply.

Can I change my plan at any time?

Yes. You can upgrade from Free to Premium at any time from your account settings. If you are on a monthly subscription, you can switch to yearly or lifetime. Changes take effect immediately, and billing is prorated for the remaining period.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans, including lifetime purchases. If SecretDrop does not meet your needs, contact our support team within 30 days for a full refund.

Do you offer discounts for annual or lifetime billing?

Yes. The yearly plan at $79/year saves approximately 27% compared to monthly billing ($9/month = $108/year). The lifetime plan at $126 is a one-time payment that gives you permanent Premium access with no recurring charges.

What happens when my subscription ends?

If your Premium subscription lapses, your account reverts to the free tier limits. Existing bundles beyond the free tier limit will remain accessible until they expire, but you will not be able to create new bundles beyond the free tier allowance.
