Let’s address the elephant in the online journal.

Money.
Subscriptions.
That brief moment of panic when you click “Pricing” and brace yourself.

Relax. Jot would never do that to you.

We’ve officially rolled out our new, shiny pricing plans for the jot diary, designed to grow with you - whether you’re a casual “one thought a day” jottie or a full-time emotional archivist. And yes, we’re starting with the most important bit:

✨ jot FREE: Because Journaling Shouldn’t Be Behind a Paywall

That’s right. Jot has a Free plan . Actually free. Not “free for seven days then surprise!” free.

With jot FREE , you get access to all our core tools - the good stuff - without handing over your card details or committing emotionally.

Here’s what FREE gets you:

  • 50 AI assists per month (plenty for daily check-ins and mini spirals)

  • 📓 12 journal entries a month

  • 💾 500MB storage

  • 📸 Photo, audio & location attachments

  • 🔍 Smart organisation & search

  • 📤 Data export & backup

  • 🧠 AI mood insights

  • 🔐 Privacy-first encryption

  • 🔄 Cross-device sync

In short: enough to journal properly, reflect meaningfully, and decide later if you want more bells, whistles, or emotional analysis.

No pressure. No tricks.

When You’re Ready for a Little More: jot Smart

If journaling is becoming part of your routine (go you), jot Smart is for everyday writers who want AI support that actually keeps up.

Think:

  • 🪄 100 AI assists per month

  • 📓 30 journal entries

  • 💾 2GB storage

  • Everything from FREE, plus more space and more insight

  • 💸 £2.39/month with launch discount

It’s the “I journal most days and I like it” tier.

For the Power Journalers: jot Max

And then there’s jot Max — for people who treat journaling like a sport, a ritual, or a full-scale emotional research project.

With Max, you unlock:

  • Unlimited AI assists

  • 📓 200 journal entries per month

  • 💾 5GB storage

  • Advanced AI insights & analysis

  • Mood tracking & trends

  • AI story suggestions

  • Priority support

  • Early access to new features

All for £3.99/month with launch discount.

Yes, it’s powerful.
Yes, it’s extra.
No, you don’t need it to start.

The Point Is: You Choose

The beauty of jot’s new pricing is that nothing is locked away at the beginning .

You can:

  • Start free

  • Stay free

  • Upgrade when it actually makes sense for you

No guilt. No FOMO. No “why can’t I even write one entry without paying?”

Whether you’re jotting fleeting thoughts, full diary entries, or existential essays at 2am - there’s a plan that fits.

And if all you want right now is a journal to write in?

jot FREE has you covered.
