Billing is one system. Protection is another.
GuardianBlock is USD $8 a month, or USD $80 a year, for one protected adult, one accountability partner, and up to three personal Windows 11 devices. Cancelling or a failed payment never silently unblocks a device.
- BillingWhat you pay for
- Kept separate
- ProtectionWhat keeps you protected
One plan, billed monthly or yearly.
Billed monthly in US dollars, or yearly at USD $80/year (Save $16 — equivalent to 2 months free). No tiers and no add-ons to decode.
USD $8 per month, or USD $80 per year
One subscription covers one protected adult, one accountability partner, and up to three of your own Windows 11 devices — the same price whether you protect one device or three. Pay yearly instead and it is USD $80/year: save $16 — equivalent to 2 months free. Priced in US dollars. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts at its own rate.
Cancelling stops the next charge
You can cancel from your account whenever you want. Cancelling stops future billing and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for; it does not refund the current month or year, and it does not flip a switch on your device — more on that below.
One plan, no tiers
Every subscription gets the same product. GuardianBlock does not split protection across paid levels or hold features back behind an upgrade.
Paying for GuardianBlock and being protected are not the same switch.
Billing tracks whether your subscription is active. Protection is governed by the keyholder model and the local Windows app. Billing state never directly activates or deactivates protection on a device.
Three billing moments, walked through.
Billing never silently unblocks a device
A change in your billing status doesn't reach into a device and quietly drop your protection. Turning protection off still goes through the supported, keyholder-accountable path — not a payment webhook.
Cancelling winds down with notice — not a sudden switch-off
If you cancel, your protection continues through the term you've already paid for. After that, the change is a noticed wind-down rather than a sudden switch-off the moment a payment stops.
A failed payment does not switch protection off
If a charge fails, GuardianBlock is designed to run a short retry-and-reminder grace period, then move into a time-boxed Local Safety Mode if it stays unresolved — keeping your existing protection and last-known-good rules in place while the payment gets sorted out.
The payer isn't automatically the partner
The person who pays isn't automatically your accountability partner or your security authority. Who holds the key, and who can authorize sensitive changes, is set by the keyholder model — not by whose card is on file.
Protection that doesn't hinge on a payment webhook.
Set it up with a keyholder you trust. Your protection follows that arrangement, not your payment status.
