Support
Scalp AI questions answered. If you don't see your issue below, email support@crate-app.com and we'll respond within 48 hours.
Subscriptions and billing
How do I cancel my subscription?
You manage Scalp AI Pro and Studio Pro subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play account, not inside the app.
On iPhone or iPad: Open Settings → Tap your name at the top → Subscriptions → Scalp AI → Cancel Subscription.
On Android: Open Google Play → Tap your profile icon → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions → Scalp AI → Cancel subscription.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep Pro access until then.
How do I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Crate directly. We do not receive your payment information.
On iPhone or iPad: Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the Scalp AI purchase, and request a refund.
On Android: Open Google Play, go to Subscriptions, tap Scalp AI, then "Refund" if eligible. Otherwise visit play.google.com/refund.
My free trial converted unexpectedly. What can I do?
Free trials auto-convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before that date. This is required by Apple and Google for trial offers.
If the trial converted and you'd like a refund, follow the refund steps above. Apple typically grants refund requests filed within the first day or two after conversion.
What's the difference between Scalp AI Pro and Studio Pro?
- Scalp AI Pro unlocks every Pro feature in this one app.
- Studio Pro unlocks Pro features in Scalp AI and in every other Crate app, now and in the future. $99 per year, 7-day free trial.
Studio Pro is the better deal if you use, or plan to use, more than one Crate app. If you only want Scalp AI, the single-app tier is fine.
I bought on iPhone but I'm using my iPad. Where's my Pro access?
Subscriptions follow your Apple ID, not your device. Open the app on the new device, go to Settings → Restore Purchases. Scalp AI checks RevenueCat and your anonymous Crate Studio user ID, then unlocks the appropriate tier.
If Restore Purchases doesn't work after a minute, force-quit and reopen the app. If it still doesn't work, email support@crate-app.com.
Scan and protocol questions
My scan failed or the result looks wrong.
Most failed scans come from one of these:
- Photo too dark or too blurry. Try natural daylight, the phone held about 30 cm above your head, and the back camera (not the selfie cam).
- Angle is off. The hairline photo wants a straight-on shot. The crown photo wants a top-down shot with the parting visible.
- Big swings between scans are usually a lighting or angle issue, not real density change. Retake in the same lighting as before.
How often should I rescan?
Once a week is the recommended cadence. More often won't show meaningful change (density doesn't move that fast). Less often than every two weeks makes the protocol re-tune less responsive.
Does the protocol re-tune after every scan?
Yes. After a weekly rescan, the next four weeks are re-evaluated based on your zone deltas and adherence log. The protocol does not re-tune all 12 weeks every scan — that would feel unstable. Only the next four shift, then the rest re-aligns at the next scan.
Privacy and data
How do I delete all my data?
Settings → Privacy → Delete all my data. This wipes every item, plan data, your notification preferences, and your anonymous user record. The action is immediate and not reversible.
For full detail see the Privacy Policy.
Where are my photos and data stored?
In our encrypted Supabase storage, tied to your anonymous Crate Studio user ID. Content never leaves storage except when sent through our proxy to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis, and Anthropic does not retain it or train on it.
We do not share data with third parties, do not use it for marketing, and do not have human reviewers looking at it.
Is Scalp AI HIPAA / GDPR compliant?
HIPAA does not apply because we do not collect protected health information as HIPAA defines it (no name, no date of birth, no medical record linkage).
For GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Use Settings → Privacy → Delete all my data, or email privacy@crate-app.com for a portable data export.
Account and login
I don't see a login screen. How do I keep my data across devices?
Scalp AI uses anonymous accounts. To carry data across devices we use your Crate Studio user ID, created automatically the first time you launch any Crate app and synced through your Apple ID (iCloud Keychain). If you sign into the same Apple ID on a second device, Crate recognizes you and pulls your Scalp AI history.
We do not currently offer email-and-password login. If you want explicit account sync without Apple ID, email support@crate-app.com.
I switched phones and my history is missing.
Open the app on the new phone, complete onboarding, then go to Settings → Restore. Crate attempts to recover your previous user ID via iCloud Keychain.
If you switched from iOS to Android or your Keychain was reset, the history did not transfer. Email support@crate-app.com with the approximate date of your last activity and we can attempt manual recovery.
Notifications
How do I turn off all notifications?
iOS: Settings → Notifications → Scalp AI → Allow Notifications off.
Android: Settings → Apps → Scalp AI → Notifications → All notifications off.
You can also disable individual categories in-app at Settings → Notifications.
Why am I getting notifications I didn't ask for?
You shouldn't be. Every notification Scalp AI sends matches a preference you can toggle in Settings → Notifications. If you see a notification that doesn't fit any opted-in category, email support@crate-app.com with a screenshot.
Languages
Which languages does Scalp AI support?
Scalp AI ships in 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Arabic.
Change the language at Settings → Language. The app re-renders in the new language immediately and AI insights generate in your selected language going forward.
