Pricing
Free to start. One Pro plan when you outgrow it.
CosmicKeys is usage-based, not feature-crippled. Every lesson, finger guide and analytics view is open from the first keystroke; you pay only after you have used a real amount of practice time and decided it is worth continuing.

What is free
The public typing test runs without an account: type for one to ten minutes, get words per minute and accuracy, share the result. The demo lesson and the sample report are open as well.
Sign in (a magic link, Google or GitHub, no password) and the whole product opens: the full lesson curriculum for your keyboard layout, the animated finger guides, per-key narration, finger-level analytics, speed-test history and custom lessons. Nothing is locked behind Pro at this stage; the free tier is measured in practice time, not in features.
The free allowance is two hours of practice time or ten practice sessions, whichever you reach first. That is enough to finish the home-row and top-row lessons and to see whether the finger-level feedback changes how you type.
What happens at the limit
At the halfway point (one hour or five sessions) a dismissable reminder shows how much of the allowance you have used and how much remains. You can close it and keep practising.
When the allowance is used up, practice pauses and the plans page opens. Your progress, statistics and custom lessons stay saved, and you can export your practice data at any time from that same screen. The typing test keeps working.
If you started as a guest without an email, you are asked for one after thirty minutes of practice so that your progress can be saved to an account. That gate is about keeping your data, not about paying.
What Pro adds
Pro removes the practice-time allowance. Everything you had while free continues without interruption, plus the parts that are tuned for people practising every day: all Pro lessons and advanced drills, advanced analytics and progress insights, unlimited speed tests per day, priority support, and the productivity stack of guides for developer tools and keyboard shortcuts.
There is one Pro tier. You choose how to pay for it, not which features you get.
- Monthly, called The Traveler: flexible month to month.
- Yearly, called The Believer: billed once a year and priced below twelve months of monthly; the exact saving is shown on the plans page. Includes roadmap voting rights.
- Lifetime, called The Master: pay once, own it, every future update included, price locked for life.
Prices
Prices are set per country and shown in your local currency on the plans page inside the app, so they are not repeated here where they could go stale. While a monthly or yearly subscription is active its rate is locked: new features do not raise it. Price changes for new subscribers are announced thirty days in advance.
Monthly and yearly subscribers can move to Lifetime with a prorated credit for unused time, during the first thirty days of a subscription or within fourteen days before a renewal date.
Cancelling
Cancel at any time from the billing portal in your account. Access continues until the end of the period you have paid for, and your data is not deleted when a subscription ends. Refunds are not issued for partial billing periods, and the terms of service note that performance differences caused by a particular device or browser are not grounds for a refund, so try the free allowance on the machine you will practise on before paying.
