- A friendlier welcome — We've redesigned the sign-in screen with a fresh look and clearer messaging about what LightScout does: finding great photo spots, knowing the best times to shoot, and tailoring guidance to your camera and skill level. - Pick how you start — At the end of setup, choose to dive in with your free credits or kick off a free trial right there. No more digging through menus to find the trial offer. - Clearer pricing — Yearly plans now show their monthly equivalent (e.g. "$1.67/mo, billed annually") so it's easier to compare against monthly options. "Best Value" and "Most Popular" badges help you pick faster. - Honest free trial messaging — Free trial offers now show the real trial period and the price after, replacing the placeholder "$0.00/mo" text some users saw. - Made the post-purchase flow smoother so you always land on the right screen after subscribing.
