FAQs

About Drumap’s Subscriptions

Is Drumap free?
Yes… and no! We are just like Spotify, where you can use the app for free (with ads + restricted features) and you pay for the full final version.

What about discounts?

If you signed up using a discount we will send you an in-app notification when your purchased period is coming to an end. Then same principle as before applies: if you want to let us renew your Drumap PRO subscription, do nothing. If you wish to upgrade your PRO subscription, go to “Library”>”Settings”(wheel on the top right corner)>”Subscription”>”Upgrade” and follow the instructions on the screen. If you want to cancel your PRO subscription, go to “Library”>”Settings”(wheel on the top right corner)>”Subscription”>”Leave PRO” and follow the instructions on the screen.

Why do you charge?

Quick answer: because we need income to keep empowering your musical journey through cool, user-friendly tech.

Long answer: Our vision is to revolutionize music education by embracing niche music communities from all over the world. To make that happen, we need to invest more in business-related activities. And to increase our investment capacity, we need to gather income. Having said that – we are committed to making Drumap as accessible to the world as possible. That’s why our Free version will ALWAYS exist and we will keep on working hard to keep subscription prices low.

Why oh why do you show ads?

This is very related to our last answer: ads are a way of increasing our income. Displaying ads helps us keep the subscription prices low, and opens up collaboration opportunities that might add value to your grooving experience!

We are just getting started with this in-app ads thing, so bear with us whilst we find the right balance and teach ad management systems what you’d like to see.

And what about internal ads?

Sometimes we will advertise Drumap’s main features and complementary apps (like Drum Coach) instead of per-hire ads. Just FYI – we don’t get any income out of these.

How can I stop all ads?

The only way you can stop display ads is subscribing to Drumap PRO. You can see all subscription options here.

How can I cancel my PRO account?

We’re always sad to see groovers go, but if you really want to leave our PRO community you can easily cancel your subscription by going to “Library”>”Settings”(wheel on the top right corner)>”Subscription”>”Leave PRO”.
Follow the instructions on the screen and off you go!
