Is Rift free? How NRG, plans and your first remakes work

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Rift is free to download on iPhone, and new people get free NRG to start, so your first remakes are free. After that, each Make costs NRG, and the price shows on the Make button before you tap. You can buy NRG or pick a Plus, Pro or Max plan, weekly, monthly or yearly, in the app. Stop a Make anytime and it isn't charged.

Short answer: free to download, free to start, and you always see the price before you spend.

Free to download, free to start

Rift is free on the App Store. New people get free NRG to start, so your first remakes are on us.

NRG

NRG is what a Make costs. Every Make shows its NRG price on the button before you tap, so there’s no surprise afterwards. Chatting with Spark and changing a Draft cost nothing; you spend only when you tap Make.

Plans

If you make often, a plan adds NRG on a schedule. There are three, Plus, Pro and Max, weekly, monthly or yearly, bought in the app through Apple. Prices are shown in the app in your currency.

Stop

Changed your mind after tapping Make? Tap Stop. It halts at once, and a stopped Make isn’t charged.

Cancel anytime

Plans renew through Apple. Cancel in iPhone Settings under your Apple Account and Subscriptions. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel a plan.
