Frequently Asked Questions
Is VertiTab Premium worth upgrading to?
If you work with more than 20 tabs regularly, use multiple devices, or want AI assistance for tab management, Premium pays for itself quickly. Cloud sync alone prevents data loss across reinstalls and device switches. The new bookmark cloud sync with Merkle-CRDT conflict resolution is especially valuable if you use bookmarks across browsers. For casual users with fewer than 10 tabs, Free covers the basics well.
Can I try Premium features before buying?
Yes. VertiTab Free includes trial credits for the AI assistant, limited snapshots, and basic tab panels, so you can evaluate the core experience before upgrading.
Will I lose my data if I switch from Free to Premium?
No. Upgrading preserves all your existing tabs, groups, snapshots, and settings. Premium simply unlocks additional features on top of your current setup.
How does cloud sync work with snapshots?
Cloud sync and snapshots work together: cloud sync keeps your tabs in sync across devices in real-time, while snapshots let you restore to any past state. Together they provide both live synchronization and point-in-time recovery.
What changed from Free to Premium in recent versions?
In v3.5, several features were made Free that were previously Premium-only: tab sorting, suspend all/other tabs, reload all/other tabs, undo close tab, and auto-suspend settings. At the same time, clear cookies/site data and creating new site configurations became Premium features. In v3.5, tree tabs were made completely free for all users.
