All tiers use the same StoreKit 2 purchase, restore, verification, account-linking, and subscription-change flow. Membership unlocks paid service features and supporter/profile benefits; higher tiers provide more monthly service credits and benefits. The app itself is always ad-free, including for free users. Sign in before subscribing so your verified Apple membership can be linked to your Manatan account and recognized across supported Manatan platforms.
