There are three good reasons we ask you to pay to use Natural Cycles:

1. We charge a subscription in order to protect you and your data. Free apps need to make money, so many of them do so by sharing or selling their users’ data to third parties for advertising. We will never sell your data because our users' privacy is paramount to us. 
2. All ways of preventing pregnancy cost money both to make and supply. We are currently working on being covered by insurance (we’re now available for FSA/HSA). Until then, we charge a subscription fee so we can keep supplying another hormone-free birth control option.
3. Finally, we are so much more than a fertility app. We push for progress in under-researched areas of women’s health and strive to educate and empower women with our work in the reproductive health field. Check our science page for more info. 

Natural Cycles is the first and only app of its kind to be FDA Cleared and CE Marked. Most other fertility apps assume your cycle is 28 days long. This means the fertile window they give you is not tailored to you. Our algorithm significantly reduces the risk of you being assigned an incorrect fertile day as it uses your personal data. This reduces the risk of unwanted pregnancy, or can help you plan pregnancy with greater precision.

While some fertility apps make money from selling data for advertising, we never have, and we never will, sell our users’ data. Find out why women around the world choose Natural Cycles.

There are two subscription options: either an annual or a monthly subscription. Click here for pricing.

Natural Cycles is a regulated medical device that follows GDPR and we also have our own very heavy data security measures in place that include encryption.
