YOURACCOUNT
The same account you use in the app. Sign in to see your plan and pay in bitcoin.
Use the address your Espress account has in the app. We will email you a 6-digit code. There is no password to remember.
ONE YEAR, PAID
The next try picks up whatever you change at your hub or in the wallet. You don't need to come back here.
Want to pay in bitcoin instead? Cancel the subscription in the App Store first. Once it no longer renews, a bitcoin year can be bought here, and it starts the day your App Store period ends.
Scanning is paused in the app. Nothing you made was deleted: your history, your ratings and your saved bags are all still on your account.
No payments yet. Every bitcoin payment shows up in this list, by hand or from your node, with its proof.

ONE YEAR,
A year bought in bitcoin does not auto-renew and stores no card. Two weeks before it ends, the app tells you in its inbox, and you decide. Settled through our own BTCPay Server node — the payment goes to us directly, with no processor in between.

Your bitcoin is on its way and the rate is locked. It needs one confirmation, usually 10 to 60 minutes. There is nothing more to send.
You can close this page. When it confirms, the year lands on ; the app shows it the next time you open it.
Your payment arrived more than a day after this invoice closed, so the system did not credit it on its own. The money is not lost: a person matches it to this account. Please don't pay again.
Your payment arrived after this invoice closed and the system could not read how much or when on its own. The money is not lost: a person reads the transaction and matches it to this account. Please don't pay again.
Less than the price reached us — usually a wallet taking its fee out of the amount. The money is not lost. A person settles the difference with you: top it up, or have it returned. Please don't send more on your own.
Write to us with the transaction id; the mail below carries it. If a week passes and this account still has no year, write again — the id is all we need.
WRITE TO USThis account's subscription is still billed through the App Store, so there is nothing to pay here today. Bitcoin is for the year after it ends, or after you cancel it in your Apple subscriptions. Nothing was charged.
The rate on this invoice held for 15 minutes and has lapsed. Nothing was charged. A new invoice quotes today's rate — the price in dollars does not change.
One year of Espress, from today. Nothing renews; two weeks before it ends, a notice waits in the app’s inbox.

FROM YOUR
OWN NODE
Connect your wallet once, with a budget you set there. Espress then charges the month or the year from it by itself, two days before your access ends. Revoke it at your hub or disconnect it here whenever you like; what you paid for stays.
- First charge
- Then
- Rate
- If a charge fails
- Retried every 6 hours; access stays 7 more days
The address you open your hub at in the browser, port included. Espress remembers it in this browser.
It opens only from your own network or your VPN, such as Tailscale or Nostr VPN.
Alby Hub Desktop, the app on your computer, has no address to open. Use below.
- Alby Hub is your own wallet, the place your sats are kept. Espress never holds them.
- Press OPEN ALBY HUB below.
- There, just press Connect. Nothing to create, nothing to copy. The hub also shows the cap in dollars, : the most Espress may ever take, not what it charges. You pay .
- Come back to this tab. It says CONNECTED, and your first is already paid.
The Alby Hub tab was closed before Connect was pressed. Nothing was connected and nothing was charged.
Choose where your hub runs, above.
If your Alby Hub opens in a browser, on your node or in Alby's cloud, use OPEN ALBY HUB above instead: nothing to copy.
Espress asks for two permissions: to pay an invoice, and to read the wallet's name. It cannot see your balance or your payments. The first charge is made as you connect, credited to .
Waiting for you to press Connect…
On a phone, Alby Hub is another tab. Press Connect there, then switch back to this one: it keeps waiting, even if you take a while.
Your node opens only from your own network or your VPN. Join the network or turn the VPN on, then press SHOW THE ALBY HUB TAB to load it again. Nothing is paid until you press Connect.
Close the Alby Hub tab without pressing Connect and you are back at the button, with nothing charged.

You pressed Connect. Espress is finishing in your first tab: the first charge runs there, and that tab says CONNECTED.
