Pricing
Free to navigate. Pro for both directions.
Everything that decides whether a gesture fires at all — every threshold in the recognizer, and the swipe takeover that keeps the browser from firing mid-gesture — is free and stays free, and so is the double swipe left with everything it can do: a site, 4 sites in a cross or a tab. Pro is the second half of each pair: the other direction, the double pinch, the tab the swipe comes back to — and more choice for the other gestures: 4 sites in a cross on pinching twice or the flicks at the top, a link in a window or a preview.

The free version stays free, with no time limit, and your first three weeks come with every Pro feature switched on.

Line by line
| What it does | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Double swipe opens a site | left | both, each with its own site |
| Double swipe goes to a tab — the tab on that side, the previous tab, or a closed tab back | left | both |
| 4 sites in a cross — a double swipe, pinching twice or two flicks at the top; swipe to pick one | double swipe left | all of them |
| Diagonal flick to the next tab — up and right for the tab on the right, down and left for the tab on the left | yes | yes |
| Two flicks at the top of a page — reload, new tab, close tab or nothing | yes | yes |
| Spread a link open — the link opens in a background tab | yes | yes |
| Spread a link elsewhere — a new tab, a new window, incognito, or a preview window by the pointer | — | yes |
| Pinch twice — close the tab, previous tab, reopen a closed one or open a site; from normal zoom only | — | yes |
| Swipe takeover — the browser’s own swipe navigation is off while Glidepad is on, and a single swipe does nothing | yes | yes |
| Return-to-tab — the double swipe goes back to the tab it opened | — | yes |
| Threshold tuning — sharpness, double-swipe window, minimum distance, rise factor | every threshold | every threshold |
Billing, tax and cancelling
Pro is sold through a third-party merchant of record — an authorised reseller that becomes the seller on your invoice, takes the payment, and handles VAT, GST and sales tax for your country. Its name is on the checkout, on your receipt and on your card statement, and the terms name it too.
Prices are in US dollars. Whether tax is added on top or already included depends on where you are; the total is shown before you pay, never after.
Lifetime is one payment: nothing renews, and every update is included for as long as Glidepad is published. A yearly plan renews once a year, a monthly plan once a month, until you cancel. You can cancel from the link in your receipt or by writing to support@glidepad.app. Cancelling stops the next charge; Pro keeps working until the period you already paid for runs out.
One purchase is one licence key, lifetime or subscription, and that key can be active in three browsers at once — usually three computers, but Chrome and Edge on the same laptop count as two. A fourth needs a slot free: “Remove the key” in Glidepad’s settings in a browser you no longer use gives one back.
If a price ever goes up it is announced on this page at least 30 days ahead, and it never applies to a period you have already paid for. There is no mailing list behind that promise and there is not meant to be one: we do not keep the email address you paid with, so this page is where the notice lives.
