A full-time team
NotiChess is not a weekend project. A team works full-time on the software and continuously ships new features. This pace of development has a cost, and your subscription funds it directly.
A free one-month trial, no credit card. You then choose the plan that suits you, or you choose nothing at all.
There are free chess tools, and they're useful. NotiChess makes a different choice, and we'd rather explain it clearly than justify it half-heartedly.
NotiChess is not a weekend project. A team works full-time on the software and continuously ships new features. This pace of development has a cost, and your subscription funds it directly.
Aggregating more than 100 sources worldwide, normalizing the formats of 190 federations, checking and integrating games daily: it's constant, invisible and essential work. No database of this quality maintains itself.
The model is simple and owned: you pay for the software, so we have nothing to sell on the side. No advertising, no resale of your games, no compromise on privacy. Your data stays on your machine, and that's possible precisely because you are the customer, not the product.
A native engine at full power, sub-second search, an interface rebuilt from scratch: each of these choices takes engineering time. That's the price of a tool that stays fast and pleasant once your database reaches millions of games.
You are the customer, not the product.
No. You download the software, create an account, and you get a full month with no payment information at all. No charge can happen at the end of the trial.
Nothing automatic. At that point you choose the plan that suits you, or you choose nothing. Your data stays on your machine either way.
