"Coming" means it's on the roadmap but not in the app yet. We'd rather tell you than surprise you.
Why it's split this way
Safety is never behind a paywall.
PleinScout sends people to real places outdoors. Weather, tides and the safety check-in stay free for everyone, because nobody should have to pay to be careful.
The free tier is built to be useful where you live, so painters keep adding spots and notes, and the map gets better for everyone. Pro pays for the tools that help when you travel or plan seriously, and it keeps the app free of ads.
