Terms of Service
Last updated: May 9, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using trefolio ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and trefolio ("we", "us", "our"). We may update these Terms from time to time, and we will notify registered users of material changes via email.
2. Description of Service
trefolio is a portfolio tracking and analysis platform that allows you to:
- Track stock, ETF, and crypto holdings with real-time market data.
- View portfolio performance, historical charts, and benchmark comparisons.
- Access AI-powered stock analysis, portfolio review, and tax optimization insights (subject to tier limits).
- Import portfolio data from 14 broker CSV formats, connect brokerage accounts via SnapTrade auto-sync, or use AI-powered import.
- Generate country-specific European tax reports (Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Italy) with AI Tax Assistant (Trefolio).
- Filter and discover stocks using the stock screener with fundamental filters (Trefolio).
- Track net worth with manual entries for real estate, savings, and pension assets.

3. Account Registration
- You must provide a valid email address and create a secure password, or sign in using a supported third-party provider (e.g., Google, Apple).
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and any linked third-party account.
- You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account.
- You may not create multiple accounts or share account access.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
4. Subscription Tiers
Universal Access with Quotas
From version 2.0.0 onwards (April 2026), every feature in the Service is available on both the Folio (Free) and Trefolio (Paid) tiers. Tiers differ in the per-feature monthly, daily, or yearly quota applied to cost-bearing endpoints (AI consultations, premium market-data lookups, AI-assisted imports, tax reports, exports, and support chat). The current quotas for each tier are published in the in-app pricing page and may be adjusted from time to time at our discretion.
Folio (Free Tier)
The Folio tier provides full access to every feature of the Service, subject to the published Free-tier quotas and to soft storage caps (e.g. number of holdings, portfolios, alerts, share links, manual assets, and brokerage connections). The free tier is ad-supported: Google AdSense advertisements may be displayed if you have consented to advertising cookies. The paid Trefolio tier is completely ad-free.
Trefolio (Paid Tier)
The Trefolio tier is available for a subscription fee (currently from €7.99/month for new subscribers during promotional periods, or €9.99/month at the regular rate, inclusive of applicable VAT; annual plans may be offered at a discount). Trefolio includes every feature in the Service with substantially higher quotas than Folio (typically ~20× the Free-tier monthly limits for AI and premium-data features, and significantly higher soft caps for storage entities). Trefolio is also ad-free.
Exact limits per feature and per tier may change; the in-app subscription and pricing pages at the time of purchase prevail for your account. Existing Trefolio subscribers retain their plan and are not affected by the v2.0 model change in any negative way.
Price Changes
We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. Existing subscribers will be given at least 30 days' notice before any price increase takes effect on their subscription.
Promotional Trials
From time to time, we may offer promotional trials of paid tiers (e.g., a 7-day Trefolio Pro trial). Promotional trials are subject to the following terms:
- Trials do not require payment information. No charge is made during the trial period.
- Each account is eligible for one promotional trial only.
- At the end of the trial period, your account automatically reverts to the Folio (Free) tier. All your data is preserved.
- Trial eligibility is determined at our sole discretion and may be withdrawn at any time.
- Promotional trials may not be combined with other offers, referral rewards, or promotional codes.
5. Payment and Billing
- Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details.
- Paid Trefolio subscriptions renew automatically each billing cycle unless cancelled.
- VAT is calculated and applied automatically based on your location, as required by EU regulations.
- You can manage your subscription (update payment method, view invoices, cancel) through the billing portal accessible from your profile settings.
6. Cancellation and Refunds
Cancellation
- You may cancel your paid subscription at any time through your profile settings or the Stripe billing portal.
- Upon cancellation, you retain your current tier access until the end of your current billing period.
- After your subscription expires, your account reverts to the Folio tier. All your data (holdings, transactions, settings) is preserved — you do not lose any data.
EU Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer protection law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase. If you request a refund within this period and have not substantially used paid tier features, we will issue a full refund. You can submit a refund request from your profile settings or contact [email protected]. Refund requests are typically reviewed within 1–3 business days.
