Is Fabulous free?

Yes, the basic app is free, and Fabulous's help center says it stays usable without paying “for as long as you'd like”. Premium is the paid tier, and Fabulous publishes its price on no page of its own. Apple's list shows ten items from $16.99 to $59.99. Live coaching is a separate subscription at $87 a month.

Every surface read for a Premium price

Google Play's top figure is five times Apple's, and no page we read names the item that costs $299.99. Google Play was read once, on 14 October 2026.

Apple's list: six prices under one name

Six rows read “Fabulous Premium” at six different prices, and only three of the ten carry a period in their name. Ten is Apple's cap, so the list may be a sample. Nothing on the listing or in the help center says what “Sphere” is.

Monthly or annually, or four other lengths

The homepage says Premium is “billed monthly or annually”. The Subscription Terms list more renewal periods than that: “weekly, monthly, every 2 months, every 3 months, 6-monthly, or yearly, depending on the plan you chose”. Apple's list includes one of the extra lengths by name, Premium Quarterly at $39.99.

The terms also say many plans start at an introductory price for the first 1, 3 or 12 months. After that, the plan renews at the standard price, which appears only at checkout and in the confirmation email. So the first charge and the renewal charge can differ, and neither is printed in advance.

The trial needs a card, and a day's notice

Where you subscribed decides how you leave

Fabulous sells through three routes, and each has its own cancel and refund path. The help center lays them out plainly.

The Subscription Terms describe the web route as Account, then Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription, which is not the wording in the help article. Look for either. Deleting the app cancels nothing.

The plans that do not cancel each other

Three web-only offers have rules a store subscriber never sees. The App Bundle Plan covers Fabulous, Shape, Elixir, Clarify, Lumiere and Lune. The help center calls it “a single subscription”, then says each app in it is canceled separately. Canceling one does not cancel the rest.

The Lifetime plan is for Fabulous only, sold on the website, and no page we read gives its price. If you already have a trial or a recurring plan, the help center says to cancel it first “to avoid overlap”. The student discount has the same condition. Its size is not published.

Coaching: $87 a month, and the trial is paid

Coaching is the one Fabulous product with its price on its own page. The store descriptions list “personal one-on-one coaching” among the Premium features, but the help center sells it as a separate monthly subscription.

Other habit apps, and how they price

Habitify and (Not Boring) Habits name the period on almost every item, so Apple's list reads as a price list. Both also sell a one-time Lifetime plan in the app, which Fabulous keeps to its website.

What Fabulous does better

• A free tier with no end date, in writing. Two of Fabulous's own apps, Shape and Elixir, need Premium to open at all. The help center commits to free Journeys and Challenges in Fabulous for as long as you use it.
• Guided content, not only checkboxes. Audio coaching, Journeys built around a goal, and routines that play one step at a time. Apple gave it an Editors' Choice badge. Todo and Earn is a plain list.
• Real people. Coaching puts a human coach on a monthly video call, at a price printed on the page.
• The trial traps are named. The help center explains the $1 hold, the 24-hour deadline and the fact that deleting the app cancels nothing, in articles titled for the question people ask.

What we could not check

Nothing inside the app or behind a Fabulous login was read. So the price a new US subscriber sees today, the trial length, the Lifetime price and the student discount are all missing. So is which of Apple's six “Fabulous Premium” rows is monthly, quarterly or yearly.
