Coins and the Store

Focus pays coins. Coins buy ghosts.

Every finished focus session pays coins and XP, and coins buy themed ghost packs in the Store, such as Great Strategists and Great Authors. A new pack costs about 4,200 to 4,600 coins and gets cheaper as you catch its ghosts. A plain 25-minute Deep Focus session pays 9 coins, so packs take steady focus. Four things get you there faster:

  • A streak: 1.75x coins at 30 days, 3x at a year.
  • Finishing a ghost: that session pays 10x.
  • Focus Together: double when two or more of you finish.
  • Share & Earn: 3,000 coins when a friend you invite finishes their first 25-minute session.

Coin bundles are optional one-time purchases: 1,000 coins for $0.99, 5,000 for $3.99 and 10,000 for $6.99.

The in-app Coins page on iPhone, with a balance of 121250, Auto Streak Recovery and 5 min Grace Period cards, and three coin packs: 1000 coins, 5000 coins at 20% off and 10000 coins at 30% off.

Billing

Pricing questions

Pricing, trials and cancelling.

How much does Catch the Ghost Pro cost?

$34.99 a year, which works out to $2.92 a month, or $4.99 billed monthly. Annual comes with a 7-day free trial on iPhone and Android. On iPhone, Monthly comes with 3 days free.

Where can I buy Lifetime?

On iPhone, from the Choose a Plan screen in the app: one payment of $99.99, at the founding member price. Android has Monthly and Annual.

Can I use Catch the Ghost for free?

Yes, for as long as you like, streak or no streak. You can focus, catch ghosts, join Focus Together rooms and buy every ghost pack in the Store with coins you earn by focusing. Legendary ghosts come with Pro.

How fast do I earn coins?

Steadily. A plain 25-minute Deep Focus session pays 9 coins, and a new ghost pack costs about 4,200 to 4,600. A streak multiplies every session (1.75x at 30 days, 3x at a year). The session that finishes a ghost pays 10x. Focus Together pays double when two or more of you finish, and each friend who joins through Share & Earn and finishes a first 25-minute session brings you 3,000 coins (up to five a week).

What are coin bundles?

Want coins faster? Coin bundles are optional one-time purchases through the App Store or Google Play: 1,000 coins for $0.99, 5,000 for $3.99 and 10,000 for $6.99. Coins buy ghost packs, 5-minute grace periods and streak recovery, and the app asks you to confirm every spend.

Will I get a reminder before my free trial ends?

Yes, with notifications on. The app reminds you 2 days before an Annual trial ends and 1 day before a Monthly trial ends. Tap it to see how to cancel on iPhone, or to open your Google Play subscriptions on Android.

How do I cancel, and what do I keep?

Cancel in your phone’s subscription settings. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, then Payments and subscriptions. Pick Catch the Ghost and cancel. Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Every ghost you caught stays yours, Legendaries included, along with your coins, XP, streak and packs.

Your first chapter is 25 minutes away.

Download free on iPhone or Android, put your phone down for one Deep Focus session, and keep the chapter that paints itself in. Add Pro when you want the Legendary ghosts.
