Pricing model

Use for free, forever. Pay for early access to latest features & sync across browsers/devices and backing up your settings in the cloud. Everyone should be able to use Ikizen Tab for free to help as many people as possible. Project should be sustainable and not rely on selling your data or showing ads. Both lead to wrong incentives.

Why should you pay

  • You use multiple browsers and devices and want to have the same experience on every browser and device
  • You want to have the latest features as soon as they are released
  • When you invest in something, you value and utilize it more. Free tools often fail because there is no personal investment.
  • You want to help make Ikizen better, faster
