NightCap plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What the product covers
The full NightCap feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Manual exposure control
- Star trail mode
- Light trail mode
- Northern lights mode
- Meteor shower mode
- Astro mode with stacking
People bring NightCap in for an iphone owner wanting star trail or milky way photos without buying a dedicated camera, a hobbyist photographing the northern lights who needs exposure control the stock camera app lacks, someone capturing light trail shots of traffic or fireworks at night, a photographer who prefers a one-time purchase app over yet another photography subscription. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to NightCap are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for NightCap
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $2.99/one-time. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare NightCap against the tools that do have one before committing.
NightCap runs on ios, and is published by NightCap of United Kingdom. The full record is on the NightCap review, and the rest of the category is under best photography tools.
