Enough to answer the question that brought you here: what is that quiet stretch actually waiting for.
What is in it
Three readings a month.
What each waiting stretch is waiting for, in one line.
The note that these are ranges rather than commitments, and the note to check the manufacturer's instructions — never covered, never abbreviated, on every plan.
What is not
The full waiting bar with every segment sized.
What makes each stretch take longer.
What happens if it is disturbed.
The one-line card, which carries a watermark on this plan.
Monthly allowance: 50. It does not carry over, and it cannot be topped up.
The upper bar is a stage left alone. The lower one is the same stage done twice. The difference between them is what a plan is trying to save you.
The free plan answers the question that brought you here: what is that quiet stretch waiting for. “The plaster is giving off water” settles the argument in the kitchen, and it is free because it should be.
What a plan adds is the part that changes behaviour. That an unheated room in winter turns a couple of days into a week or more. That painting it early turns a couple of days into a fortnight and a re-plastered wall. And one card, without a watermark, that you can hand to whoever in the house is asking why nobody has been.
One avoided re-plastering costs more than a year of this. That is the whole argument for paying, and if it does not apply to you, the free plan is not a trap — it does not expire and it is not a trial.
On every plan, including the free one, the note that these are ranges rather than commitments and the note to check the manufacturer’s instructions are shown in full. The free card’s watermark sits across the bar and the sentence and never over those two.

The allowance is an allowance for using this service. It is not money, not stored value, not redeemable for cash, not transferable and it does not carry over. There are no credit packs and no top-ups on this site — if you are running out, the answer is a plan that suits you better.
Renewal and cancelling
A paid plan renews automatically at the end of each period, monthly or yearly, until you cancel it.
A separate reminder email goes out before every renewal. Its own email, not a line in something else.
You have 14 days to cancel after you first subscribe, and a further 14 days after each renewal.
Cancelling takes two clicks from your billing page. No reason, no phone call, no email to anybody.
There is no free trial and no introductory price. If we ever change the price of your plan, we tell you first and you can leave before it applies.
Prices are in US dollars (USD) and include VAT at 20%. Your bank may convert into your own currency at its own rate.
Card details never reach this site. Payment is taken by a third-party provider certified to PCI DSS Level 1, over an encrypted connection, and the card data goes directly to them.
We are told that a payment succeeded, the last four digits and the card type. Nothing else.
This is a digital service delivered immediately. Nothing is shipped, so there is no delivery charge and no returns process.
