The Math
Built to find more than it costs.
Bar Cop is free for 30 days, then $149 a month. Pour cost is only one of the things it measures, and every point of pour cost you tighten is real money, every year.
| Annual bar sales | One point of pour cost | A 4-point improvement |
|---|---|---|
| $500,000 | $5,000 / yr | $20,000 / yr |
| $750,000 | $7,500 / yr | $30,000 / yr |
| $1,000,000 | $10,000 / yr | $40,000 / yr |
Illustrative ranges for a bar running with no pour tracking, recipe cost cards, or weekly counting. Your real number is whatever Bar Cop measures once you start.

Questions
No surprises, no fine print.
What it costs, how billing works, and what happens if you cancel.
What does Bar Cop cost?
Nothing for the first 30 days. After that it is $149 a month per bar, or $124 a month if you pay for the year at $1,488. There is one version: no tiers, no add-ons and nothing held back for a higher plan. Every bar you run is billed separately at that same price.
What is included in the price?
Everything the app does. Inventory and ordering, your weekly cost reporting, all four audits run as often as you like, scheduling and cash control, menu costing, events, and your weekly, monthly and annual books. Team access, in-app support and every future update are included at no extra charge.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, you can try Bar Cop free for 30 days. There is also a live demo with a sample bar setup so you can see every screen working before starting the free trial.
Is there a contract, a setup fee or a minimum term?
No contract, no setup fee, no onboarding fee and nobody to talk to. The first 30 days are free and take no card. After that you pay one month at a time and cancel whenever you want, or pay for a year and save. There is no minimum term either way.
How are multiple locations priced?
Each bar is its own subscription at the same price. The free trial covers your first bar; a second one starts billing straight away. You add a location inside the app and it runs the same checkout. You manage them all from one login and switch between them from the dropdown on your home screen, but each bar bills separately and keeps its own books.
Can my whole team use it, and is there a per-seat fee?
Your whole team is included and there is no per-seat fee. You add your managers and grant each of them the sections you want them in, bar by bar, so a floor manager can have scheduling and the drawer without seeing your books.
How do I pay, and when am I charged?
You are not charged to start. The 30-day trial takes no card at all. When you pick a plan it is by card through Stripe, and you are charged on the same date each month, or each year, until you cancel. Manage Billing inside the app shows your next renewal date, and every payment generates a receipt you can pull any time.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Adding and changing data stops, and nothing else does. Your account is not closed and nothing is deleted: you can still open Bar Cop, read every count and week you entered during the trial, and export a full backup of it. Buy the licence and you are straight back to work with all of it intact. Nothing is charged automatically, because the trial never took a card.
How do I cancel, and do I get a refund?
You cancel from Manage Billing in a couple of clicks, with nobody to call. There is no cancellation fee. Your access runs to the end of the period you have already paid for and does not renew after that, and payments already made are not refunded, which is why the first 30 days are free: you run Bar Cop on your own bar before you pay anything. A trial you do not convert simply ends, with nothing charged.
Is my data mine, and can I export it?
Yes, it stays yours. You can export your books and your reports whenever you want, and the owner of the account can pull a full backup of everything in one file at any time, including after you cancel.
