My subscription is shown as “comped”. What does this mean?

When you activate a Pocket Premium on your account without providing a payment method, they appear as “comped”. There are several common types of comped subscriptions:

Promotion through Galaxy Gift App on Samsung (6 free months)
Promotion through Acer (6 free months)
Purchase of Pocket Premium through a bundle promotion (Productivity Pack, Parallels Bundle, etc.)

Comped subscriptions typically do not renew automatically. However, if you add a Payment Method (see below), you can ensure that your subscription doesn't end when your time runs out.

I’m subscribed to Premium with iTunes/Google Pay. Can I pay on the Pocket Website instead?

Yes, you can switch from paying for Pocket Premium on iTunes or Google Play to paying directly on our website. However, you must wait until your current paid period ends, and be sure to disable cancel your subscription on Google Play or iTunes so your subscription doesn’t auto-renew at the end of your billing cycle.
