  "notes": "(read 2026-11-10 on pinbee.net) PinBee has a free plan with no time limit and no account, and PinBee Pro on three plans: $9 a month, $49 a year (the page says that is $4.08 a month) or $99 once for a lifetime licence. The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial and the page says you are not charged if you cancel before it ends; monthly and lifetime have no trial. A 14-day money-back guarantee covers every plan. One licence key works on up to 3 browsers. Payment runs through Lemon Squeezy, which handles billing and sales tax, and the checkout store lists the range as $9.00 to $99.00. The FAQ on the same page still quotes older figures ($5 monthly, $29 yearly, $49 lifetime), which disagree with the plan cards, so we use the cards and the checkout; check the amount at checkout before you pay. Prices are in US dollars; we did not open checkout, so the tax added is not known.",
