Free fine print scanner
Paste the offer text before you click Buy. Auto-renewals, hidden fees, cancellation friction, and pressure tactics — highlighted in seconds, locally.
How it works
- Copy the offer text — the trial terms, the checkout page, the plan comparison, the email footer.
- Paste it into FinePrint Friend (or screenshot it — local OCR reads images too).
- Read the flags: what you'd pay now, what you'd pay later, and every trap pattern found.
What it looks for
- ['Auto-renewal language — trials that convert to paid plans', "'Pay now' vs 'pay later' — the real price after the intro price", 'Cancellation friction: phone-only cancel, notice periods, early-termination fees', "Fake urgency and scarcity: countdown timers, 'only 3 left' pressure", 'Fee stacking: service, processing, convenience, and handling lines']
Common questions
Does my text get uploaded?
No — the scan runs in your browser. Screenshots are read by local OCR on your device too.
Will it catch every trap?No tool can. It flags known patterns with automated signals only — treat it as a second pair of eyes, not a verdict.
Is it really free?Yes — the paste-and-scan tool is free, no account, no trial.
