Credits
In short: the app is free and gives you 50 credits. One credit is one plot survey or one measured tree. Everything else is free — photos included. When you want more, credits are bought in the app, through the App Store.
What uses a credit
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Plot — a basal area survey, all four steps included | 1 credit |
| Tree — one measured tree: a new tree or a remeasurement | 1 credit |
| Photography (or video) | free |
| Creating an observation | free |
| Voice note and its transcription | free |
| Viewing, correcting, exporting | free, always |
An action cancelled before it is saved uses nothing. Resuming a plot you have already started costs no new credit.
The packs
| Pack | Credits | Price | Price per credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 50 | €29 | €0.58 |
| Estate — ideal for a management plan | 250 | €99 | €0.40 |

Prices include VAT, in France. In other countries, the App Store shows the price in your currency; the price that applies is the one the app shows at the time of purchase.
No subscription, no commitment: you buy a pack when you need one.
Buying credits
Purchases are made in the app, never on this website.
- Open Settings ▸ General ▸ Buy credits. The same screen opens from the "Out of credit" alert and from the "Credit almost used up — buy credits" notice.
- Choose a pack, then confirm with Apple (Face ID, Touch ID or password).
- The message "+250 credits. New balance: …" confirms the addition.
Good to know:
- Buying requires a connection. Using credits works offline: your credits remain usable in the forest.
- "Purchase awaiting approval": the purchase is waiting for consent (an Ask to Buy request in Family Sharing, for example). Credits are added as soon as it is approved.
- "Payment received. Credits will be added the next time the app starts.": close and reopen the app.
Received a code
We sometimes give credits away, in the form of a single-use App Store code, sent with a link. Tap the link on your iPhone: the App Store opens with the code already filled in; confirm. The credits are added to your balance the next time you open Forest Assist.
Without the link, enter the code in the App Store: tap your profile picture, then Redeem Gift Card or Code. The code is not entered in the app.
Good to know
- Credits never expire and add up.
- They are linked to your iCloud account: your balance follows you on devices signed in to the same account. The 50 free credits are given once per iCloud account.
- Your balance is shown in Settings ▸ General ▸ Number of observations, as remaining / total.
- Payment, receipt, refunds and cancellation are handled by Apple, which sells the credits: see the terms of sale.
