Where you manage a subscription depends on where it was bought. Stripe handles web purchases, the App Store handles iOS purchases.

> **In short.** Method Pro is managed wherever you bought it. Web purchases are handled by Stripe from the web Subscriptions page; App Store purchases are handled by Apple from the iOS subscription screen, including restore. Either purchase unlocks Pro on both web and iPhone. Prices and what Pro includes are on the pricing page.

Both web and iOS show subscription state. Cancellation and payment controls
live with whichever billing source owns the subscription.

  **Bought on web**

Managed by Stripe. Use the web Subscriptions page to start checkout or open
    Stripe billing. Stripe handles invoices, payment methods, and cancellation.

    On iOS, the subscription screen points you back to the Method website.

  **Bought on iOS**

Managed by the App Store. Use the iOS subscription screen to buy, restore
    purchases, or manage an active plan. It opens Apple subscription
    management.

    Web shows that Pro is active and keeps billing actions locked for this
    source.

## External Pro

If Method sees Pro through another source linked to your account, web shows Pro
as active and keeps web billing actions locked for that external source.

> **Restore before re-buying.** If Pro looks missing on a new device after an App Store purchase, use
>   **Restore purchases** on iOS.

> **Deleting your account leaves Apple billing active.** See [Delete your account](/docs/delete-your-account).
