Before you Agree

Know what you're agreeing to.

Reading the terms before you tap Agree is the slow part. Free lists of what you accept and what it can cost you, with quotes from the page.

No link on a TV or console? Search the company or app name.

What you accept, with quotes

This clip looks up Dropbox and stops on the quoted lines.

What the clip shows

The clip looks up Dropbox from the home page. The reading opens on Dropbox's terms of use. Each line lists what you accept and includes a quote from that page. Marking those terms accepted is not in this clip.

What happens next

  1. 01

    Look up a company, paste a URL, or paste the words

  2. 02

    See what you accept, with quotes

  3. 03

    You decide. We cannot undo or cancel something you have already agreed to.

What you walk away with

After we read a page or the words you pasted, you get two lists. You do not need an account to see them.

  1. 01

    What you accept

    Everyday lines for the promises and rights a typical Agree click covers.

  2. 02

    What it can cost you

    Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court.

  3. 03

    You can check us

    Each line includes wording from what we read, so you are not taking our word for it.

What else you can do here

Besides reading a page once, Fineprint helps when the Agree screen has no link, and when you want to check our work. Keeping a list of what you already accepted is Premium.

  • See the original wording

    Every line we show includes a quote from the page we read, so you can check that we got it right.

  • Agree on a TV or console

    Those screens often have no URL. Search the company on your phone, read what they ask, then go back and decide.

  • Keep a list of what you already accepted

    We're not able to determine if you already agreed to something on another site. Premium lets you mark it here so your list remembers.

  • What we promise

    Looking up and pasting stay free — no account required. We never share or sell your data. Fineprint helps you read — it is not a lawyer, not a lawsuit, and not a promise that a clause would hold up in court.

Fineprint Premium

Keep track of everything you agree to.

Free Fineprint shows what a page asks before you tap Agree — no account. Premium starts with checkout for your account, keeps a dated list of what you already accepted, and adds in-app notices when watched wording changes. Email for those changes is included when it actually sends — not yet.

Stays free — no account

Look up a company or app. Paste a URL or the words. See what you accept and what it can cost you, with quotes. Browse companies we already analyzed. Search when a TV or console has no link. Ask Clara.

Premium includes

  • Your account

    Create an account with Premium. That is how Fineprint remembers you and what you asked us to keep.

  • Email when watched terms change

    When wording changes on a company you asked us to watch, Premium will email you. In-app notices work now. Email is not sending yet.

  • Dated archive of what you accepted

    Every company you mark stays on your list with the date — so you know what already applies to you.

  • Export or print your list

    A plain one-pager of companies you marked and the quoted downsides — yours to keep or show someone. Not a legal filing.

  • Before you Agree checklist

    Coming with Premium. Three to five bullets from the open lists, each still carrying a quote — a short pass before you tap Agree.

  • Re-read pastes you marked

    Coming with Premium. Unlisted readings you accepted get watched too — so a one-off paste does not disappear.

  • Household list

    Coming with Premium. One place for the streaming, kids, and console accounts a family already tapped Agree on.

  • Compare versions on saved companies

    Coming with Premium. See what changed between two snapshots of the same page, with quotes on both sides.

What we still promise

Lookups and pastes stay free with no account. We never share or sell your data. Premium is still a reading aid — not a lawyer, not a lawsuit, and not a way to cancel something you already agreed to on another site.

Start Premium checkout

Premium is $8 per month. Lookup, paste, Clara, and News stay free. Email for watched terms is not sending yet — in-app notices and News already work.

Companies we already analyzed

Only companies with a graded reading appear here. Ask us to add one you use.

Premium keeps what you already accepted

Browse companies and paste a URL or the words free, with no account. A Premium account is how you mark what you already accepted and keep that list.
