Every source, every reading mode, downloads, history and backups are free, and stay free. Plus is the extras, and it's how Sumiyo keeps going.
Try a month first. Cancel any time in Google Play.
Works out to about $1.25 a month.
One payment, yours for good. Costs less than yearly after two years.
US prices in USD; other countries see their own prices in Google Play. Payment is charged to your Google Play account when you confirm. Monthly and yearly renew automatically until you cancel, which you can do any time in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions; cancelling stops the next renewal and Plus stays until the end of the period you paid for. Purchases are handled by Google Play. Plus unlocks app features, never manga, comics or other content.
Coming soon to Google PlayEverything runs on your phone. In the app, each one can be tried on the Plus screen before you pay.
Guided view moves from panel to panel on its own, giving a splash page longer than a reaction shot, and leans slowly into each panel so a page plays like a storyboard. It turns the page when it's done. Set the pace; tap to take over.
Keep the panel that got you, with a note: highlights, for comics. Clips live in a scrapbook, and any of them can go to a friend as a card with the series credited.
Low-resolution scans, sharpened. Sumiyo upscales small pages two times on your phone, a page or two ahead of you, so blurry lines come out crisp. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Needs a phone with Vulkan graphics, as most from recent years have.When a series in your library gets a new chapter, Sumiyo saves it to your phone on Wi-Fi, so it's there on the train with no signal.
Five inks for the moon and seal on your home screen.
What's around the page as you read: true black for OLED screens, slate to rest your eyes, paper and white so webtoons run edge to edge.
Your library, your sources and the page you're on, kept the same on your phone, tablet and other devices. Signing in stays optional.
Time read, your busiest month, your longest streak and the series you couldn't put down, on one page worth keeping.

If you read a chapter now and then, the free app is all you need, and that's fine. Plus is for people who read most days and want the extras. Not sure? Start with a month.
Plus never takes away something that was free. No ads, no coins, no timers.
Every Plus extra works as a preview on the Plus screen in the app. What you see is what you get.
If Plus ends, nothing is deleted. Your clips, notes and settings stay on your phone, and come back to life if you return.
Cancel any time in Google Play. No calls, no questions, no emails.
Sign in to Google Play with the same account, open Sumiyo, and go to Settings, then Sumiyo Plus. Google Play tells Sumiyo what you own; if it doesn't show straight away, tap Restore purchases.
Yes. Lifetime is a single purchase with nothing to renew. It includes every Plus feature, including ones added later.
In the Google Play app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, then Sumiyo Plus, then Cancel. Or tap Manage in Google Play on Sumiyo's Plus screen. Plus stays until the end of the period you've paid for.
No. Sumiyo comes with no sources and sells no books. Plus unlocks features in the app; what you read comes from the sources you add yourself.
Purchases are handled by Google Play, so refunds follow Google Play's policy. You can ask for one from your Google Play order history. Within about 48 hours of buying, Google usually decides on its own; after that, write to us and we'll help.
Yes. Plus belongs to your Google account, so it works on every Android phone and tablet signed in to it.
Nothing is deleted. Plus extras stop being applied: the icon and backdrop go back to Night, hands-free and auto-keep switch off, and sync pauses. Your clips stay readable, chapters on your phone stay readable, and buying Plus again brings everything back as it was.
