Almost every palm reading app is listed as Free, and for most of them that means free to install. The money arrives through one of three models: advertising, a one-time in-app purchase for the reading, or a recurring subscription. You can tell which one you are about to install from the In-App Purchases section of the store listing, before you download anything.
The reading is free to read and advertising covers the cost. No money changes hands, but ad delivery usually means usage data reaching an advertising network. Your palm photo is not the thing being sold, though it is worth knowing that free is being paid for somewhere.
Capture and some preliminary result are free, and the full reading costs a single payment. What you spend is visible up front and it ends there. No charge arrives in a month where you did not open the app.
You keep access while you keep paying, weekly or monthly. That suits someone pulling a daily fortune. For palm reading, which most people do a handful of times a year, it means paying through the long stretches in between. These usually open with a free trial, and the characteristic cost is a renewal that arrives after you have forgotten about it.
On iPhone, scroll the App Store listing down to In-App Purchases, where every product is named with its price:
After installing, iPhone Settings lists your active subscriptions in one place. A palm reading app you do not remember signing up for is model 3.
Alongside the price, look at how much you are shown before paying. An app that photographs your palm and goes straight to a purchase screen with the result concealed gives you nothing to judge by. One that shows the detected lines first at least lets you confirm your photo was processed before you decide.
That is a separate question from cost, but it decides how much information you have when you spend. More on it in what to check before you install.
Model 2. Capture and line detection are free, including the position of every line found and its confidence figure. The written reading is US$7.99 for the entry reading and US$19.99 for the complete one, which adds the section comparing both hands. Both are one-time purchases. There is no subscription and no free trial, so there is nothing to remember to cancel.
A failed scan is never charged. When a photo cannot be read, the app says so instead of returning something, and retakes are free and unlimited.
Every in-app purchase in this category is processed by Apple, which means refunds are requested from Apple rather than from the developer. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com from your iPhone and the request runs off your purchase history. That route is the same whichever palm reading app you used.
Some do give you a full reading at no cost, funded by advertising or by data sharing. If one appears to have neither, it is fair to ask what is covering the cost of running it.
Open iPhone Settings, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, and everything currently billing you is listed there. Deleting the app does not cancel anything.
No. Capture and line detection are free outright, and the reading is a one-time purchase. Nothing expires, so there is no cancellation to remember.
A purchased reading stays available for a year, and it survives a change of phone through Restore from Apple Account. You can also delete it sooner from inside the app.
PalmMuse scans free and shows every line it found. Readings start at US$7.99 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription.
