Sync plan. 90 days of cloud history, restorable from any browser.

What Sync Adds to the Free Plan

The free plan is a complete session manager on one computer: unlimited sessions, snapshots, version history, trash, import and export. Sync adds the things that need a server.

How Sync Works

Your computer stays the main copy. Changes are saved locally first and sent to our servers in small updates, so BelayTab keeps working offline and catches up when the connection returns. The toolbar badge shows when changes are waiting.

Each device has a name, so you can look at “tabs open on my laptop” from your desktop. If the same session is edited on two devices, the latest change to each tab wins and both device names appear in version history.

Cloud backup runs separately from sync, so a bad state on one computer can’t overwrite the history on the server. You can restore any session to how it was at a point in the last 90 days.

What We Store and What We Don’t

  • With Sync on, we store the titles and URLs of your saved tabs, your sessions and their history, and your account details.
  • They are stored only to sync them. They are never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train models.
  • We don’t log URLs. Server logs record counts and timings, not the tabs themselves.
  • Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • Deleting your account removes your data from our servers within 30 days.
  • With Sync off, nothing leaves your computer. BelayTab has no host permissions and runs no code on the pages you visit.

If You Cancel, Pause Payment or Lose Connection

  • Cancel: sync stops. Every session stays on your computer, readable and exportable. Nothing is ever locked.
  • Cloud copy after cancelling: kept for 90 days, then deleted. Resubscribe within that time and it’s still there.
  • Offline or our billing check can’t be reached: Sync keeps working for 14 days on the last confirmed subscription. After that, sync pauses; your local sessions never do.
  • Payment fails: you’ll see a plain notice in the extension. Local access isn’t affected.
  • Refunds: 30 days, no questions.

Upgrading

  1. Turn on Sync in Settings

    A short panel explains what Sync does and what it costs.

  2. Pay in a new tab

    Checkout opens in a new tab. There’s no licence key to copy.

  3. Come back to BelayTab

    The extension notices the subscription, uploads your library and shows progress. No restart needed. Install BelayTab on your other computers and sign in to see the same sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does BelayTab Sync cost?

Sync costs $4 a month or $36 a year, with a 30-day refund. Everything else in BelayTab is free, with no limit on sessions or tabs.

How is BelayTab Sync different from Chrome sync?

Chrome sync shares open tabs between devices but doesn’t keep saved sessions or history of them. BelayTab Sync syncs your saved sessions, keeps 90 days of point-in-time history on our servers, and lets you open sessions from any browser at app.belaytab.com.

What happens to my tabs if I stop paying?

They stay on your computer, readable and exportable. Sync stops, and the cloud copy is kept for 90 days and then deleted.

Does Sync work offline?

Yes. BelayTab saves locally first and sends changes when you’re back online. If our servers can’t confirm your subscription, Sync keeps working for 14 days before it pauses.

How many devices can I sync?

As many as you like. Each device gets a name, so you can see which sessions came from where.

Can I see my sessions on my phone?

Yes, through the web app at app.belaytab.com, where you can read your sessions and open their tabs. There is no separate mobile app.
