Question 1

Is Fjora really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The entire Fjora, all modules, the whole way from engagement to after the wedding. Zero kroner. Not free in a trial period, not free until you need that one feature you actually want. Just free.

Question 2

How do you earn money?

Accepted Answer

Right now, we're not doing that. There are three of us building Fjora because we believe Norwegian couples deserve something better than spreadsheets and ten different websites. Eventually, we'll need to find a model that keeps the platform alive, but it won't apply to you who are joining now. If you create an account today, you keep full access at no cost. No matter what we do next.

Question 3

Do I have to add my card details?

Accepted Answer

No. You create a user and you're good to go. We never ask you for payment information, because there's nothing to pay for.

Question 4

Does my partner, the bridesmaids etc have to pay?

Accepted Answer

No. Invite as many people as you want into the planning. Everyone gets full access, and none of them pay anything

Question 5

Can I delete my user?

Accepted Answer

Yes, whenever you want. No notice period, no forms, no one trying to persuade you to stay. You have control over your own data, and it disappears when you say so.

Can I use Fjora after the wedding?

Yes. Thank-you cards, the photo vault, and the memory book stay there long after the last guest has gone home. Still free.
